Yep and don't forget her accent, either. Very good show that, by the way.

Yes, I'm slightly crazy about the old grouch and the townfolk and the scenery myself. I read somewhere that Martin Clunes had said he enjoyed "terrorising that horrible, horrible man," or something to that effect, but I actually can't help feeling sorry for the character, and Clunes' acting on those rare occasions when the Doc is trying his utmost to express empathy or happiness is simply sublime.

^Off to the UK in a month and I'd love to go to Port Isaac. Unfortunately it's more than a day trip from London and expensive to sleep over... maybe pick a place further up the coast, but the train is also a bit costly.

Prime Suspect S1-7 complete 720p BluRay X264 AAC2.0 Eng Rus

Busy grabbing and taking forever. But I scanned through S01E01 and the first thing I noticed is that HM has a cigarette in her hand in every scene I happened to stop at. Gonna love this show....

That's odd, I started mine at midnight, by morning it was done.

It is absolutely brilliant. Actually gets better with every season. Just wonder why it is always a female protagonist? Make makes up for the general sexist undertones.

Hmm... first few seasons were mostly about the caddy who was a guy. This one is fairly unique in that it seems we might actually come to a conclusion by the end of the season. I HOPE.
