After all wern't Burnside, Tosh Lines, Don Beech, Viv Martella all CID officers or is my memory playing tricks on me? Which you have just said yourselves were absolutely superb charaters. Lets face it with the exception of Smithy and Stone none of uniform really stood out (I miss Tony Stamp and Reg Hollis nuff said.)I for one do hope it will be back some time down the line truthfully I have a feeling like someone's already said perhaps we haven't seen the last of it in some form or another particularly if ITV suddenly find themselves struggling for ratings it was interesting to read the results of the RT poll that only 2% of voters wanted X factor type shows yet 44% wanted dramas wasn't it? I suppose only time will tell.
