Ah, Freud would say that your jokes reveal a truth buried in your subconscious.
Ripley Holden:
Oh, what do you know, a copper who's read a book.
D.I. Peter Carlisle:
Well, if I'd read two books, maybe I'd run an amusement arcade.
Ripley Holden:
Yeah, well I wouldn't know about that. I run a family entertainment arcade.

This is absolutely brilliant!!! Only UK would do this kind of show and go all the way :-) I love Sarah Parish and she's just amazing in this. Oh and those who complain about the fact that it isn't dancers and singers that does the characters thank god for that! I think the point is that it isn't perfect, it makes it more real and what joy would it be watching perfect dancers who can't act!? No they did the right thing casting actors for it... Anyway this is funny,touching,dark and a bit disturbing aka everything you can possibly want in a TV program and I can just pray it's true they are planning a sequel.... UK are brilliant at making TV that stays with you long after it airs unlike US...
