    Can't wait. Bloody love Bradley and Ronnie.

    Can't stand the Kate Barker character though. (Georgia is on Alan Titchmarsh this afternoon)

    I see Ronnie has a new sidekick tonight. Did they say what happened to the last one?

    I enjoyed tonight's episode, I quite liked Ronnie's new sidekick, I think he will be a good edition to the show.

    I would have enjoyed it more if characters in the court didn't keep going out of focus!
    A ridiculous gimmick which looked very unprofessional

    Just love this show, Bradley as Ronnie makes it very watchable. He is a brilliant actor.
    I quite like his new partner, seems to fit in very well.
    Typical Ronnie, not shouting at him for touching his arm to silence him in the interview but making it very clear afterwards.
    Brilliant show. Wish it was on more often.

    Hmmmm.......A bit disappointed after having watched all the repeats on ITV3, to be honest.
    A someone suggested the photography was awful in parts and I am fed up with this gimmickry that they are introducing into a lot of TV productions of soft focus, monochrome-ish shots and shots against the light. I find all this almost as annoying as constant background music.
    I like the Ronnie character, naturally, but am not sure about the other new additions yet - sometimes wondered whether I am watching a US version!

    I loved that scene towards the end when the killer thought he'd got away with it again and Ronnie came along and rapped on the window of his tattoo parlour,:D

    Bradley Walsh is outstanding in this, one of the most believable characters in any show.

    It's good to have a really nice guy in the lead roll isn't it?

    Another great series by the way it started with this episode, but one weakest leak! sadly Georgia Taylor, she does not have it! and still comes over as the weak Doctor in Casualty! she should have gone this series.

    it is that smirk she has all time, she just can't act sad or serious, if she tried she really is a terrible actress. Neil Dudgeon has the same look and acting skills in Midsomer Murders.

    I don't think any of the sidekicks have been good. Both young women who just don't come across as serious competent lawyers.

    I realise lawyers can come in all shapes and sizes but for me the two they've had so far just don't pull it off.
    They seem more like interns.

    I would agree with this I love the show in general but for me Georgia Taylor just isn't convincing as a lawyer.

    Freeman Agyeman every time. Georgia Taylor is a wet lettuce in comparison.

    I actually really like Georgia Taylor in the role and think she fits in well. Must admit I did find this first episode very dull though. Next week's one looks better.

    Bradley Walsh is great :)

    Totally agree!

    Bring back Freeman Agyeman, Georgia Taylor will always be Toyah Battersby dressed up as a lawyer. :D

    I'm okay with the characters right now. I do miss some of the older ones, but the show is still enjoyable.

    Where is Freema these days?

    Can't say I pay much, if any attention to Georgia Taylor.
    Freema has a certain 'something' (not just visually) for me, so I do pay attention to what she's doing.

    Trouble is, I can't watch Bradley anymore without thinking 'Fanny Schmeler'

    i do sometimes wonder what the casting dirctor was thinking, when she was given the part, she is so not right for this role, even her voice has no conviction. and it is a shame as the other actors are brilliant,

    Show has gone down hill since first couple of series, To fast based not enough dialogue.

    There has also been to many character changes only one original actor from the first series.

    Ben Bailey smith doesn't suit this new role to young for a start to be in M.I.T.
