    I've just finished watching 'Cardinal' which is a Canadian detective series based on Giles Blunt's 'Forty Words for Sorrow', which I thoroughly enjoyed. I too also very much liked 'Unforgotten.'
    I'm just about to try 'Line of Duty,' which others seem to have enjoyed too. :)

    I don't take much interest in what happens behind the scenes but I thought he had been fired from the BBC. He now works for Amazon Prime I believe.

    Though that may be for something else he did, he doesn't have a very clean track record.
    He also presents Who Wants To Be a Millionaire on ITV.

    That was better when Chris Tarrant did it IMO.

    Hi @Tori_Scope, 
                               I'm pleased you had a good Christmas, I did too thank you. I too would give it a watch as I think that they would only bring it back if it was good enough to do so. Please may I ask if you have a particular favourite from Life on Mars in terms of character, for me it's Gene Hunt :) Thank you.

    Please may I ask if any one has watched 'Spooks'? Nicola Walker is also in this and I think she is fantastic in it. I really rate her as an actress, she has been in a number of good programmes including 'The Spilt' which is also a fantastic watch in my opinion, as well as doing thearte. Thank you.

    Are you talking about the spy program that was on the TV maybe 10 years ago? I really liked that. I thought it was well done. I believe it had Richard Armitage in it who played Guy of Guisbourne in Robin Hood which is another program I liked. :)

    Hi @66Mustang,  
                               That's the one :) Richard Armitage was in 'Spooks' and played the character Lukas North. I agree, it was well done and very up to date for it's time, particularly watching the series from start to finish this year, some of the stories were relevant and in some cases advanced for the time they were made, in terms of actual similar events. I haven't seen the Robin Hood with Richard Armitage in, please may I ask, when was the programme first shown? Thank you.

    @WestHam06 I agree some of the stories were really relevant and could even be seen as before their time. I do wonder how realistic it is though? Do you think being an agent in real life is similar to how it is portrayed on Spooks or do you think it is adapted a lot for the TV? I ask this as a family member was a real life police detective and he said a real detective is nothing like detective programs on TV, it’s mostly paperwork!! Haha.

    Robin Hood came out on the BBC in 2006 and had 3 series. The first two were the best in my opinion, I think by the third one it had run its course if that makes sense but I still liked the third series. It stars Jonas Armstrong as Robin Hood.

    Hi @66Mustang, 
                                I definitely agree that some of the stories could be seen as before their time, but do also agree that some of the stories were definitely made for 'television' rather than portraying realism. One of the story lines that springs to mind is the episode about an environmentalist group storming the Thames barrier and threatening to flood London. At the end, Adam and Ros are trapped underwater for a long period of time but manage to find a way out. Personally, I don't think being a real life agent is how it is portrayed in 'Spooks' though I'm sure there were elements in the show that are. Most of these programmes are written for dramatic purposes and use a loosely factual situation to build upon, though of course this is just my opinion. Despite this, I still very much enjoyed watching 'Spooks' and thought it was brilliant. I haven't seen the Robin Hood you mentioned, but can understand what you say about the third series running it's course a little bit, I think that can happen with some programmes. Also, well done, I've just updated the football table and you have another point, you're doing really well, well done :) Thank you.

    I also really enjoyed The Split @WestHam06! I think I like everything she's been in :D Have you watched Scott and Bailey? That's another good detective show. Nicola Walker is only in one of the series, but she's really excellent in it.

    I think many of us have spent more time watching TV than we might have done previously @lisathomas50! That's an impressive list. Which is your favourite version of CSI? I was always more of an NCIS fan myself, however.

    You could be right there @Tori_Scope.
    I am more into my films than TV viewing. One of my favourite Christmas films is Cool Runnings.

    I love that film cool running  I cried and cry  every time I watch when they pick the bob sleigh up and walked across the finish line it sent out a good message  they worked hard and nothing was going to stop them getting over the finish line
