I've got the timer set for it. Ian McDiarmid is usually dependable. Though sexed up, it might be an insight into the early days of London's police.

There are whole swathes of great stories from British history waiting to be adapted to a drama format. The Bow Street Runners being just one.

Watched this last night with Ms Stripey and thoroughly enjoyed said programme. The story was a wee bit thin, but this definitely has potential, will be tuning in next week.

Given that proper investigative police work wouldn't exist for another 100 or more years, the crimes would have to be simple to solve.
I enjoyed it, but it's not a society I'd have cared to live in.

Ian McDiarmid is a joy to watch but its just so hard not to picture the emporer from star wars strutting about ye olde London
