Studio P @RT82369649 Mar 20 Wow ! This show almost never felt decades old, aside from the toxic smoking. Sharp dialogue, engaging story lines, focus on the people not the the “car chase”. Can’t imagine how Robbie Coltrane survived until he was 72. I never saw the show when it was new and was amazed to see the starring role be an overweight , chain smoker snd drinker and gambler , with non stop “ in your face “ talk. No blunt lines or innuendo is spared here. It all flies out, raw. Ugly, but fascinating. And yet there is charm and great character connection. I would call this show very watchable. Only the cars give the decade away, pretty much. A show well ahead of its time. But who killed Tim ??? See more Donald D @Don23 02/28/2025 Just rewatched this after 3 decades. I was expecting an aged series. What I got was a reminder what good writing, directing and acting is all about. Superb cast and the part that Robbie Coltrane was born to play. Suberb.
