The Hammond years were pretty good


I know many felt LB went downhill in the later series, but I've actually really been enjoying some of the later episodes. Series 11+12 have been really enjoyable. Chris Hammond was one of my fave characters, he was reckless but still had a good relationship with the Watch. I quite liked the threesome of Dan, Sally and Joe too, especially Dan. We still had old timers like George, Pearce, Recall and Sicknote at this point oo. And Rob Hyper Sharpe was also a great character, especially as he was gay, but aside froma coming out episode, they never made a big deal of it.

For me the last 2 series were the worst when they moved stations and we had now lost Dan, Joe, Chris and Sicknote. Too many extra characters from other watches popped up but were not main players. Also we lost Jaffa and his pub and gained Elaines pub as the main 'out of work' area.
