Laurence Lazarus

A good series although the plots are somewhat convoluted at times. Watching Richard Armitage getting killed off again makes me wonder. The former beau to the Vicar of Dibley has seen a bad end in Spooks, Strike Back and now Berlin Station. Maybe he should audition for James Bond. He certainly has significant espionage credentials on his CV. Aside from that the acting from Rhys Ifans and Leland Orser really highlight this show. I hope they bring in a suitable replacement for Daniel Miller if there is a season 4.

It's a great show, but the original was built on Dr Blake. He was the central character who, with all his faults and warts, really made the show. The new series is a good attempt at a revival, but it lacks his presence. No disrespect to Nadine Garner and the cast, but it really needs Craig McLachlan. He should be brought back.
