This was and still is a classic british police/drama series. Filmed outside and in real locations, not just a studio or backlot. With actors devoid of white shining teeth and flawless makeup, It gives the feel of the seedier side of life and London. The show is as worth watching today as it was 10yrs ago. Helen Mirren and the other actors give compelling performances, you can almost forget it's not real. Great series, well worth watching from the beginning.
