Don't forget the cars all had illegal font number plates too.

What about the ones at the bck?

What you did there, I see it.

Didn't realise there was a thread on this, but we quite enjoyed it, and took it as a drama, not a documentary as many here seem to.

Exactly. Wifey is constantly berating me for grumbling when the wrong car is used in a period drama. Shoe was on the other foot with this as she referenced all of the procedural inaccuracies. However, we both really enjoyed it for the drama that it is!

Just finished watching this last night. It was good, not Happy Valley good, but still enjoyable.

But, the continuity of shots between the outside of cars and the inside did grate after a while. It seem the only car that had for interior shots was a Skoda, regardless of what the external shot was.

ETA: there is also surely going to be a second series where PC’s Ellis and Neil become more than crew partners

Looks as though there is going to be a 2nd series.

And two more after that.

My only concern is that having agreed to this there is no incentive to maintain the quality of the 1st series.

[MC Bodge]

Where else is there to go with a new series?

[cuprabob]

Monday 15th April for the 2nd series being available on iPlayer.

It will air on BBC1 at 9pm.

I enjoyed it but they killed off arguably the best character.
I tried to get i to happy valley but just couldn't.

bump new series starts Monday 15th April

[cuprabob]

If you cant wait until 9pm tonight for Series 2, all episodes now available on iPlayer.

[Smollet]

Can't say I'm overly impressed early on. Killing off the main character didn't help. It's lost its bite

[phil-sti]

They did kill off a great character but I think we have a much better villian this time.

They really needed to resurrect Bren from KIN. He was a real baddy.

Yup. Completely unpleasant in every facet.

[Smollet]

Just finished and it got a lot better. Not as good as the first though but a worthy sequel

[bigtomski]

Just finished all of Series 2 and loved it. A really good show with some great characters.
Had to laugh in episode 2 when Stevie and Grace stop Dixon in his silver Audi A6 and towards the end of the scene his car changes into a newer model A6.

Finished this last night and it was brilliant (again). Two more series already commissioned! The writers create fully fleshed out characters, which is becoming increasingly rare in modern dramas. Best thing on TV by a mile at the moment.

If this is the case (two more series), really disappointed that the story arc of Lee was not extended into the next season. All a bit ‘curtailed’, when his rise to the top and likely downfall would have been a great watch.

Half way through the 2nd series and although I agree it's not as good as the 1st, it's still pretty damn good. They just need to fire whoever is in charge of continuity.
