This is on every night this week at 9.00. Managed about 25 minutes last night before retuning in exasperation. The acting of the two bent coppers was absolutely appalling, and to say it's occupying a prime slot there was, for me anyway, absolutely no 'hook' in the first half hour of the first episode.

There's depressingly few programmes worth watching on TV these days and now this is going to be on all week. Mad

I didn't watch after about a minute (OK we were channel flicking).

I don't see the point of four or five consecutive nights, only housebound TV addicts can watch THAT.

I watched this for the training that's going on in Rhyl through The Work Programme. Yorkshire & The Humber have yet to receive this scheme.

The unemployment in Rhyl IS injustice, a lot more than another silly murder play (thanks to my dad).

I was surprised the caterer's wasn't called Dino's Bar after the misheard lyric in Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back In Town' ('Down at Dino's Bar in Rhyl...')!

There was quite an interesting edition of Panorama shown last night about unemployment in Rhyl and the Work Programme there

It highlighted the big differences in opportunities between run down West Rhyl and other more affluent areas like South Rhyl

It's a real shame how the area has deteriorated over the years and I was only thinking that on Saturday when I went to Southport for the first time in a long while - there a lot of effort and money has gone into reviving the place at least as a day trip destination
