I love this series. It has been on BBC1 in the afternoons, totally wasted there as is moving on. I can't get over how Craig from neighbours has grown up. SO handsome and such a good actor now. I remember him as he was like a bouncing labrador puppy when he was younger. So full of fun and he was good at playing guitar the only thing let him down was his Scouse Perm, which we've all had or loved someone who had one!! Seriously it's so well done so forward thinking. His character is always in trouble as he has strong and modern opinions and ideas and in those stoical times you were very brave to have them. I know i'ts fiction in a way but some of the attitudes that people had and even had, unfortunately are very real. I think they are very brave the writers and have handled racism, sexism and lots of other isms extremely well, exploring and showing just how bad it was in the fifties in Australia as well as the rest of the world. They also prove that they are educated clever people with a stylish culture not some aussies in the outback.
I love the music, the artwork on the titles is amazing. Well done you Aussies, you make some amazing films and T.V now and it's about time you received some of the accolades you're due. Seriously great series completely different from other amateur sleuths, it has a raw and realistic quality that puts it ahead of the rest. My only complaint is that they have only shown ten in total and long may it continue if the networks don't pick this up then they're idiots. Here's to Craig as the lead and all the supporting actors who all have great parts and are equal in their excellence. Suzy
