Agree with Sally about the improbably high murder rate though. I was a student at Oxford for 8 years and nobody I knew was ever murdered :rofl:. Although quite recently an old tutor of mine died after falling down a staircase in her college and The Sun reported it as a 'Morse-style mystery' :sneaky:.

I know, there was a thing in the papers about it before this series started, about how the character in real life would be retired and the excessive murder rate.

And if there is, it never involved cunning cover ups with students and tutors, but some dodgy drug dealer getting slashed in Blackbird Leyes or in years gone by, down the Cowley Road or Jericho :D

Monday Mornings.

New doctors show, has Rhymes, Molina and a bunch of other recognisable folks.

Anyway, the twist to this over being a regular meh hospital drama is that it seems to focus on when things go wrong and the hospital review process.

It still seems a bit bland and nothing special, but still, giving it a punt for a while yet.

I always say the same for Midsummer Murders, old Barnaby never arrests the murderer until they have knocked off at least 4 victims...very poor investigative work in my opinion:thumbdown::D

Almost at the end of the first episode of Monday Mornings. I give it :thumbsup:.

Yeah, I liked it too. Didn't think it was overly special, but not watching much in the way of medical things right now and it was good enough.

Got the second episode all set.
