Yes, wire in the blood is graphic and the imagination of the torture is horrendous….I am watching the ‘silent witness’ on and off on bbc iPlayer, they have all the series on there , about 25 I think, forgotten what series I am on but i do like them.

Not sure what a Brit Box is Dilly , I think we downloaded them from Gold channel? I’ll have to check in the morning. DH did it so I don’t know where they came from.

I loved Law and Order the British version.

oopsadaisy1 where did you find the box sets online to stream? Hope they are not on the dreaded Brit Box.

NanKate - after watching Val McDermid being interviewed this morning I tried to find the first episode but failed - maybe just as well!!

We are watching New Tricks from season 1 as Miss Oops hasn’t watched it, very enjoyable.

I decided to watch the first episode of Blood in the Wire by Val McDermid. It was made in 2001. Instead of feeling I had plenty of episodes to watch when I am at a loss to find something interesting to view, I was horrified by the brutality of it, which included a lot of torture of gay men. I’m surprised the series was a success. I like Robson Green usually.

Can you recommend any old crime series which are worth a second or even a first viewing ? Also where they can be accessed.
