I've seen a couple of episodes of John Deed and quite enjoyed them, must see ifvI can record sone. Cream of the crop for me though really has to be Morse with the late lamented John Thaw.

Yes, I noticed that anachronism, but apart from that I found the episode engrossing, and, I think, probably quite authentic in the 1950s/60s attitudes to women and rape it portrayed. Now worried about Gently's health.

I also did not notice the mistake but I did enjoy the programme. Like Vera, I prefer to watch the entire episode rather than split it, with my brain I usually have totally forgotten what went on the week before.

I love Judge John Deed as well as George Gently too Jane. Wouldn't miss either of them. I am big fan of Martin Shaw too.

Don't forget Judge John Deed Katek! Loved all those programmes. They do them so well. I much prefer a longer episode which is complete than an hour long cliffhanger sort of thing.

Great drama. loved it, glad I didn't spot the mistake, I obviously wouldn't make a detective. Will have to look at it again on recording.

Didn't spot that but it's one of my favourite programmes. Just pipped into second place for me by Foyle's War.

No, I missed that grin DH and I really enjoyed it though.

Did anybody else notice a silly anachronism in last night's Inspector Gently. When they were observing arrivals at the brothel in the opening scenes they described to Ford Zephyr (lovely car, by the way) as having the registration number HUA 222B, but when the WPC was trying to trace the owner of it she gave the number over the telephone as B222 HUA (which would denote a vehicle registered in 1984).
