Considering the annual festive dross that the BBC shovels out this is a reasonably good series, unfortunately they have decided to string the next episodes out until the 9th January, wonderful planning !! The BBC in general manages, with no public accountability whatsoever, to broadcast a stream of mindless tripe the other 364 days of the year so this series might not actually BE that good, but by their low standards it is. It's time to defund this autocratic organisation and abolish the licence 'tax' that allows them to pay millions of £'s every year to such moronic individuals that daily fill the BBC channels with mindless babble.
