jumped the shark

I am watching the re runs on London live and can catergorically state that this show well and truly jumped. Heather Peace has just joined and there appears to be a love triangle with a Billy Ray Clone with peroxide blonde hair and some upperclass Malcolm (earlier episodes) clone. Jack keeps drinking alone looking moody in bars dishing out advice, Zorba pops in and out and Pearce is all over the place....A great show once which really got weeker and weeker after about the 7th season.

It once had great characters, stories and set pieces, it just totally run out of steam.

Its gone downhill now. it started in series 6-7 after Hallum died. But with the addition of Joe, Dan and Sally its gone too soapy. I do like Chris hammond though.

Actually i retract that. I quite like series 11 and 12. Hyper and Chris Hammond are my faves
