Blue Lights fills The Bill shaped hole in my life. It depicts the same, in terms of probationary constables, seasoned uniformed officers and, in this series to a lesser extent, the detectives, in a gritty light as they deal with the issues around West Belfast. OK so there's no mention of toe rags but low life's exist all the same it's just policing procedures have now been modernised in dealing with them. I loved this series and look forward to season 2. But 2 things, firstly 6 episodes is a season now? In the old days it would be at least 20 episodes and secondly Richard Dormer. Thank you to the TV gods for bringing him into my TV life. Oh my goodness Richard Harris reincarnated.
