I wonder why they keep all the best drama for winter. Maybe they think that people don't watch telly in summer. Well they're wrong especially with the economic problems people have nowadays, I imagine more people stay in and watch telly than before.
Never mind the new drama is back! Started with a short series of George Gently which I really love. It's set in the North East of England and I really enjoy looking out for locations I recognise. The photo on the link, of the two detectives walking along the promenade was taken at Seaham beach. I also love to see Durham Cathedral and its fantastic setting.
Martin Shaw has certainly come a long way since he played Doyle in the Professionals hasn't he. You always knew he would.

Shame they only make three in a series but never mind. It's a little gem.
The second series of DCI Banks has also started. I somehow missed the first one so I'm in catch up mode.
Now to come I see Downton Abbey starts tonight and yes I guessed it, some idiots would schedule it at exactly the same time as the BBC's last series of Spooks. Not everyone has the facility to save programmes so thank goodness for iPlayer!
Then we have Merlin which I enjoy. The acting and the humour is wonderful Really looking forward to series 4.
There are lots more goodies to come thank goodness but I noticed yesterday that ITV 3 is showing Foyle's War again. The first episode of the first series was great. Have looked at the schedules and the next two episodes are being shown this week too. Hope the rest are to come. I can never get enough of Foyle's War. An absolutely perfect detective drama which the public seem to love. People power brought it back after it was axed! Here's how.
