Someone on here said it reminded them of Leverage. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't say.

But, in this case, they are a police unit.

First series was very good, second series wasn't to bad and then got really bland and boring, though the last series was quite amusing.

Yep. Pretty much went downhill once Marc Warren and Jaime Murray left.

I tried to watch the re-branded Hustle aka By Any Means.
Unbearable.
Some of the acting/portrayal is like rapid-fire line recital. Unnatural.

The Wrong Mans is much much better

Woooo!

Hang on though... " It will also be technically improved"

and... "this is a new Clangers for a new age."

They better not stuff it up. Some things don't need "improving".

The loss of Series Record is a real shame. I used that a lot.

Re: UK TV Programs

Anyone catch Ambassadors? New comedy....could be amusing.

Also, Misfits is back for yet another series....still think it's not been great in the last couple of series, but will probably get around to watching it...
