New Tricks

It's one of the few things DH will watch with me, but I do miss Brian. I'm presuming the rather nice foreigner will be the reason Amanda leaves

Can't stand the programme. DH loves it. Think he's watching it now.

There is so little worth watching so will persevere until Redman leaves and then decide. The Gibralter episodes were ridiculous and I nearly stopped watching. Doc Martin is getting ridiculous as well. Sigh! May just have to curl up with a good book and give up on TV altogether (apart from Montalbano - old and young)

I know this is 'lookist' and possibly 'ageist', but Dennis Waterman hasn't worn well, has he...?

My DH loves it so we watch it. I think that there has been and still is some awful acting (Waterman and Bolam) and good acting from the other two (and Esther). Was well overdue for an overhaul. The two new chaps (and Holly) are great. There was some really terrible writing one episode just before Brian left but it has looked up since then. Waterman still a terrible ham though.
And at least it has lots of parts for older people.

I adored Brian....but quite like Nicholas's character its rather good.
However, like Ana I will be sorry to see Amanda go.

Perhaps the instrumentalising (new word methinks) of the theme tune might be a hint to eventually getting rid of dear old Dennis?

I have only just caught up with Brian leaving , I didn't know Amanda Redman was leaving too. I will watch the rest of the series but no Brian and Esther and I still miss Jack, oh bother

More to the point - what's happened to the theme tune?
This week it was some wishy-washy instrumental rubbish...

I love Denis Lawson in it, and Nicholas Lindhurst has been a revelation.

I thought I'd hate it after Brian left but I'll stick it out until Amanda Redman leaves - that's a step too far!

I agree, I miss Brian but I am still watching it, there is little else.

I used to enjoy it but i haven't bothered with this new series, I think it worked well before.
