New Tricks

Aka "Depends who will replace her....."

Tamzin Outhwaite.

I quite enjoyed it. There was little else to watch in my opinion.

I enjoyed last night's episode, but I can't abide Denis Waterman's terrible acting. Every time I hear the signature tune, I'm reminded of the sketches about him in Little Britain.....'wrote the theme toon, sang the theme toon.'

I liked it as well. Very nicely done, she's a good actress and I hope who takes her place gets some decent dialogue and a plot to get her teeth into. Then it will be OK. Who will take her place? I don't get the Radio Times.

here's the online Radio Times Margaret

Can't see anything about her replacement though.

feetle just said - Tamzin Outhwaite.

Do you know that feetle, or is it wishful thinking?

I think I heard a rumour - I hope it's not true. She's too young, for a start.

No! Tamzin Outhwaite is not old enough.

Sorry Feetle Did n' t see your post there.

We kept watching thinking we'd miss Brian but Nicholas Lindhurst is growing on us. He has a really sinister look sometimes too.

Tamsin Outhwaite is definitely the replacement. I`m still missing Brian and Jack.

I've seen Tamzin Outhwaite named as the replacement lots of times.

Shame about her real life husband - seems like he's not as nice as he looks.

I do like Nicholas Lindhurst, but I'm not sure I will warm to Tamsin Outhwaite,but will give her a go. I know Denis Waterman can't act and has only two facial expressions, but I hope he doesn't go, he's the last original.

We too are sad to see the old faces go. One of the very few programmes I sit down to watch even though we are all 'teched' up with loads of channels. Why do they have to mess around with such a good cast. If it ain't broke why fix it! Let's see how it goes from here, really hope we will not be disappointed. At least we still have the Italian detective (both old and young) to look forward to.

Gibby not sure they can make people stay if they want to go!

Tamzin Outhwaite is a good actor though.

Think the departures were prompted by some disagreement off screen. No idea why I think that but must have heard it somewhere!

They have acquired two first rate replacements in Denis Lawson and Nicholas Lyndhurst - very different in style from their predecessors but each with an individual style of his own. I can't forget Denis Lawson's role in Local Hero! Nicholas Lyndhurst has to live down his role as Rodney but this character is very different and has an interesting personal story as well. The daughter promises well too. I also have misgivings about Tamsin Outhwaite but the proof of the pudding...

What about the 'new girl'? promising, I thought.

Yep, she'll do.

Hoping to watch today, so I'll let you know

I just do not know why the new girl had to have a cheating husband! Probably going to be part of the story for the future (sorry if I am ruining this for you kittylester), but it would be good to have a couple living and working together without one or the other having an 'affair', but then of course I am probably old fashioned (I am old fashioned!). Not sure I enjoyed last night's episode, seemed a bit bitty piecy. Reserved judgement.

I am in agreement with Printmiss. I did not really enjoy the episode although it had a good write up. I will give it a couple more shots but there is little else to watch as I do not have multi channels.

I felt the story line was sacrificed to introduce the new character and for me it did not really work.However as it is a programme I usually like I will stick with it for a few more episodes. Do agree though about the adultery line , just added for what?

I agree with NfkDumpling (and thereby, I'm sure, must hang a tale!)
-- She'll be right, as our antipodean chums might put it. Last night's story was really incidental to bedding in (ooh!) Sasha (Tamzin Outhwaite) and that it did well. Dennis "Grumpy Cat" Waterman's character even cracked a smile, so she's obviously accepted. Incidentally, I didn't recognise Robert Gillespie, as Massimo, until I re-ran the credits -fine performance.

Yes what have we seen him in before (Robert Gillespie)?
