It's a very gritty, Earthy opening to the fondly remembered series, very much a Northern storyline, with a Welsh rugby flavour running through the middle.
It's a solid mystery to begin with, I would say the stories would become a little more dynamic with time, but this one's as rugged and gritty as the characters. A few questions will keep you guessing as you watch, did he do it, was it someone else, did he do it knowingly, or did he do it as a result of a blow to the head.
Whether you watch Series one or series ten, the two lead actors are very much the same, they don't change or deviate, both are great in my opinion, Andy is gruff, uncouth, rude, he's the epitomy of a single, lonely Policeman. Peter by contrast, fresh, enthusiastic and keen, Colin Buchanan is so very, very handsome here.
Good characters, The Evans duo are both very charismatic and perhaps the most interesting, although Bernard's Welsh accent is perhaps a little questionable.
Enjoyable, 8/10.
