Cracker

[Jojo]

What a great return for Dr Ed Fitzgerald last night! A welcome return for the original psychologist - it would just be great if it was for longer (is there a new series in the offing or was it just a one off? Anyone know??)

Of course the only downside is that you know "who dunnit" from the start, but when he turned out to be a police officer, I was surprised to say the least. Looked like the mother had a lucky escape though as if that other officer hadn't turned up for shift changeover I think she would have been next.

In some respects though, I did think 2 hrs was too long and probably an hour and a half would have been better, but thoroughly enjoyable all the same and good to see Fitz back on our screens. Well written again by Jimmy McGovern although at times there did seem to be a message regarding the war on "terror" included within (a bit like Richard Curtis with his Vicar of Dibley message regarding poverty).

However it did show truth about how since 9/11 occurred everything else has been put into insignificance which it shouldn't be.

Really enjoyed it though.

I agree, I did enjoy it and it was great seeing Robbie back on our screens, however, I did feel as if the writer was using this as a political platform to put his views across. It did not have the feel of a "normal" cracker, there was no suspense or slow build up. What does everyone else think?

[Jojo]

Totally Moonstorm - this is what I was thinking (you put it better though lol). Maybe, as good as it was, it had been off our screens for too long :searchme:

it was great to see fitz back on the telly again. Let's hope they make more in the near future, I know that Robbie Coltrane is keen to do more so fingers crossed. I thought when we seen the kids legs on the bed at the end that the copper would had killed them, thankfully they were fine.

an apprporiate name for the show - it truely was a cracker!

an amazing episode, bar knowing who did it, but the beauty of that is you get to know why in a much better way than a 10 minute rushed explanation at the end (poirot style)

it was a great episode, i really enjoyed it, lets home Robbie and Jimmy decide to team up again soon for another episode! :cheer:

i thought it was brilliant and it was great to see fitz's son again. i loved the bit when they're in the police car chasing the bag snatcher and fitz is saying, they can keep the great barrier reef, ayers rock, etc......... this is life.
