New Tricks

I like the new characters, especially Denis Lawson's. I was getting bored with Brian's antics and Sandra whatsername was turning into a bossy old haridan.

Dennis Waterman is a one trick pony but he's OK alongside the others.

I agree, about Sasha's personal life. Would have been nice to have a happy couple.
I too am reserving judgment. I hope she's going to turn out to be a bit more fiesty than last night.

From time to time you get a TV series that has a certain je ne sais quoi, but there then comes a time where the cast get tired or the writers run out of steam and the wise ones stop while the audience still asks for more. However that is not the way it happens and they just go on until it all falls apart and that is how I Now see New Tricks past its sell by date.

I think it's going to be Sasha and Ian Lavender's character who provide the romance.

Enjoying this series of 'new tricks' I miss Jacks pithy one liners and of course Brian and the wise and understanding Esther!
Do you think we will be told when Jack passes away??
I found the scene with Sandra talking to Jack and then Jack telling her that she was doing the right thing very moving.
Denis Lawson is a bit tasty though!!

Dennis Lawson? I hadn't thought of him as tasty - perhaps - in the right light - after a or two!

I know you are all waiting to hear what I thought so - I watched it last night and thought it looked promising

Couldn't help feeling sorry for Tamzin Outhwaite having to deal with an unfaithful husband on TV as well as in real life.

I still think there are so many other older actresses they could have chosen instead - Kathy Burke would have been wonderful in the part!

Is Ian Lavender in it? I didn't spot him.

Ian Lavender? Do you mean Nicholas Lyndhurst, Hunt?

I'd love to see Kathy Burke in something serious for a change. She's such a stunningly good actor.

Whoops! not Ian Lavender but Nicholas Lyndhurst! What time did I write that? Ah! Should have been in bed!
