I made a start on the same programme last night and watched two episodes. I found it gentle, weird but fascinating. How could you miss Michael Palin? He plays the father of the main character. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

That's fine- but I just comment on what I thought. Not for me.

I just watched Who killed Lamb?
Enjoyed it - old fashioned from another time - when there was no traffic on Oxford, and everyone smoked. I thought Baker would have made a good Bond, and John Thaw was lucky to become Morse.

PS This is similar but earlier (1960) Hell is a CityHell is a City

Filmed in Manchester - note the pub in Cromford Court off Market Street, and there is some vivid social history in the "Two Up" school in the hills above Oldham. Note the final scene in Lewis's Arcade demonstrating the origin of the Manchester saying "standing there like one o'Lewis's".
SCG will have heard it. . . .
