No, but I was expecting it to be up there with LOM.

It wasn't anything like as good. I found it boring.

Too much of the annoying doris and not enough of the Guv

Needs more Gene!

Now, fire up the quattro

Yes, that's what I thought. She was rather cardboard and in need of a slap

Ah well, I'll give it a chance and watch the next one.

So you're comparing one episode of Ashes to Ashes to 2 series worth of LOM, i think i will hold my definitive view until a few episodes rather than jumping to an immediate conclusion.

B reg in green by any chance, crumbs i thought that prices of quattros might suddenly rise after this, but you might just be right, that drug dealer merc might just be the left field option.

I can multi task when the entertainment level's low

She is quite fit, but she was annoying thus lowering her score on the hairy trumpet ometer.
