    Have you seen "We own this city"? - Came out this or last year based on a true story in Baltimore and written by David Simon (The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Street). Really worth watching if you haven't.

    Play For Today to see if we can bring some new writers and actors to our screens instead of the same old ones

    Boys from Blackstuff and Rumpole of the Bailey became series after appearing as a one off play for today.

    Time for all this reality tv and celebrity sh ite to be binned of our screens.

    Agree with the last bit but unfortunately people lap it up so it is here to stay for the forseeable!

    I think it was the gravelly voice. Like she’d been gargling sandpaper

    They did a one off special of this in 2016 for part of a comedy celebration, and it was actually quite good.

    Better than the Porridge re-make that got one series, and new "Still" Open All Hours which got multiple series.
