Just watched some of these episodes, not bad just afternoon drama. Usually at work when these are on, just happened to see it. Had to smile at the lobster they call Jeff, Matt Bardock character in Casualty.

I think it's fine. It makes for a refreshing change from the quiz shows that have been shown in the same slot for months now.
The West Country accents I've heard have also been OK, apart from Katy Brand who went slightly OTT. It's not the most difficult accent to attempt. That Ordinary Lies thing that was broadcast in primetime in the spring was no better than this. |

A west country accent must be quite hard to get right, without resorting to ooh arrr Wurzels type mimicry! I believe it's stronger around the Wilts/ Bristol area than it is in Devon and Cornwall.
I like Matt as he has a sweet, open face. Shame he seems to have either shaved his head or is going drastically bald, for this role. He played DC and DS Barnard in Frost and as I recall,
Spoiler
Here in Devon the accents vary widely, they change within a range of about 15 miles quite noticeably, it's a big county. I live in North West Devon and I'm proud to say im proper broad.......bleddy 'andsome! |

I was born in Cornwall but have lived all my life a mile and a half from the border in Devon. A true Cornish accent is absolutely beautiful, so soft and gentle and only true Cornish folk can do it. Words like "cow" are pronounced "ceow" ""down" is "deown" etc, programmes never, ever get it right. I love Doc Martin but the accents are shocking Louizzer being the worst, Bert and his son aren't too bad though.

I like the way Jane leaves the Coroners Office (Bayards Cove, Dartmouth) walks up the hill to the Coroners Court (Fore Street, Tones) and further up Fore Street is the South Dart Police station off Market Square. What I am trying to identify is the Tower in the first episode and the first undertakers in the second episode? |

This creeps back onto BBC 1 on Monday at 2.00pm.
This should satisfy those who don't think there's enough "exciting drama on BBC afternoon TV." It's bland enough to not wake you if you nod off whilst it's on. Although to be fair, it wasn't that bad for daytime TV, if you like Claire Goose. But then anything is better than the usual fare of cookery/house/auction/quiz programmes. |

Remember "Silent Witness? There's a host of US shows with the same format. It's all "smoke and mirrors." Digressing a bit. You know the big Humvee's that the TV CSI Miami ride around in? They don't, in the real world they use a small van similar to the one in which the Post Office delivers your local mail. |

Given this are only 45 minutes long so made ready for screening on commercial TV it amazes me UKTV with their access to BBC shows haven't screened S1 onAlibi or Drama in the run up to S2 starting.

That photo supposedly from 1976 has a lad in a French football shirt from 1984. They won the Euros that year.

I don't think her exaggerated clumsiness adds anything other than irritation.

I'm not watching any more of these as the stereotype mardy teen daughter is driving me barmy. |

That business with the policeman's mobile phones was pathetic. Served no purpose.
Though when she was younger, Cully had all sorts of jobs, that coincidentally were woven into some of the plots. Towards the end, Cully "just sent postcards" which got mentioned but she didn't appear. Some things are added to help make the characters seem less one dimensional. |
