This is not a comedy but a thoughtful contemplation of what relentless construction and destruction does to people and ultimately the planet and the corruptive effect of the relentless pursuit of wealth at the expense of all else. Money is used as the excuse and (for some) the remedy. Quite pertinent at the moment I think, the John Lithgow character rather reminded me of Donald Trump.

Fantastic series, understated acting from Rowan Atkinson, who would of thought it from Mr Bean. Beautifully shot slightly sepia toned cinematography in keeping with the era and the dark nature of the storylines. A crying shame they don't seem to be plans for making any more, one of the best dectective series on television for a long time!
