    That's the one. He's actually aged quite well. Must be about 14 years since The Bill.

    I know. The last straw for me was the love affair between Tony Stamp and Smithy. That was just taking it too far!!! :D

    It was the threesome with Jim Carver that made me :o:o

    :D

    All this Kerry/Smithy business is getting on my nerves. The way she keeps saying to him 'You fancy me...blah blah....admit it you fancy me....rah rah rah....you just can't admit you fancy me...etc etc' is getting boring. She fancies herself never mind Smithy fancying her. How long until she buggers off?

    The Bill seems obsessed with corruption and blackmailing, i'm bored of Hunter being involved in more blackmailing of a colleague

    I've heard that there's a ratio issue with some of the series on the DVDs? Is that right? Does it make any difference?!

    The 2002 series is 4.3, The 2003 series are proper 16.9 I have up to 2006, At the min still watching the 2003 series I think I'm bit further on than the drama episodes.

    This midnight episode is the same one I watched a week or 2 ago. What's going on with these repeats?

    No like all 4.3 dvd it's still full screen it does look a bit compressed so to speak, The 2003 looks just like we saw it on TV here the sound is also very good, I'll be glad to see the back of Cathy Bradford & Gabriel Kent those two get on my nerves:(

    Honey Harman is cute.

    The area car going missing episode was hilarious.

    Becker is pretty hot.

    Smithy is a great character.

    Interested to see how things develop with Gabriel Kent.

    Yeah. I couldn't even remember it first time round.

    The show really lost the plot at this stage: Debbie "becoming" a lesbian for no obvious reason, Hunter and his non-stop manipulations, Meadows having an affair with a hooker (really!?), Cathy's terror campaign against Robbie, the Polly stuff etc. Then now we're going to have Gary's "tragic" backstory.

    Thank goodness for Ramani, the only person who seemed to be doing police work.

    Just watched the ones where Meadows found out Lysette Anthony was an Escort (cracking set of jugs :D), and Gary was running round the nick starkers, apart from his Helmet over his family jewels :D

    Have they missed some out, or have i missed some ?

    As when i record them to watch later on video, the episode at the end of the tape (as i always just fill a video tape and watch them over a few days while ive got another tape in recording the next lot), the end of that episode, is always caught on the beginning of the next tape, so i know where im at, but the tape ive just finished (where Mickey goes to his mothers funeral), ended where Mickey followed Meadows again to Rachaels (after he'd overheard him on the phone to her saying he was going to be late, had pastrol care to do), and he watched him going in to her house again from his car, but that bit isn't on the next tape, the next tape starts with an episode end, where Mickeys already in her house, looks like hes trying to get her dress up, and Meadows steams in and pulls him off, so looks like that could have been the one after, but ive missed it somehow :confused:

    I know its been off because of the bank holiday, unless it was on, but at a different time, so i have missed a one.
