Without meaning to sound like a misogynistic relic, after the initial title card stating it was a dramatisation as soon as the female DI walked into shot I had to role my eyes. She's a great character and really well played, but there's no way you'd have a female DI on the flying squad in the early 80s. It jusy didn't happen.
The class war / Robin Hood story is a bit odd too.
But the biggest failing for me is that it really doesnt portray how much of an utter
Noye is.
Enjoyed the series for what it was but after a bit of Googling after found Noye to be a truly vile individual. Equally abhorrent he was released in 2019 The class war / Robin Hood story is a bit odd too.

Good to see they left in his cancer comment to the jury at the end. Up until then they seemed to be portraying him as a lot nicer than he actually is.Red9zero said:

binged it on Saturday. Thought it was pretty good.
Although the incorrect period cars were annoying.
I'm fairly certain the drive by when Hugh Bonneville was standing outside the police station was in a gold Volvo 340 DL, with a spolier.
Di Vicky Ginger also drove a gold Volvo 340DL with a spoiler. It's just lazy production.

As mentioned earlier, I can't believe they got so many basic car details wrong on this. Not just slight facelift differences either.
The robbery was in 1983 but they have a main car as a Granada on a B reg. B reg was August 1984 onwards and the Granada mark 3 did not come out until May 1985. And I think the wheels on their car denote an even later model.
Also saw a 1988 model, mark 2 facelift Orion in the car park.
The BBC must employ consultants or did they just think any car from the 80s will do?

I guess they thought it was best to choose from the cars they could actually get rather than the ones they'd like, but couldn't?
