Yeah, it’s great – it has that light-hearted, slightly tongue-in-cheek feeling that programmes from the sixties and seventies like _The Avengers_ and _The Persuaders_ used to have.

I’ve been pleased to see the BBC producing some good enjoyable original drama in the last couple of years, like _Spooks, New Tricks,_ and _Doctor Who._ It makes a pleasant change from what seems like total saturation of soaps and celebrity/reality TV.
