The new character will be a modern woman who has risen through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police by using psychological profiling to capture suspects, producers said.

"It's a touch of Moonlighting teamed with a measure of Miami Vice," she said.

That's a pity. I was hoping it might be like "Life on Mars" but set 8 years later.

DI Tyler: Haven't you ever heard of softly, softly?
DCI Hunt: I prefer Z-Cars.

Well, at least you could have a skinful of beer and then drive home.

The copper's meeting in the present bought home the tedium, pontification, the PC babble, the mandatory risk assessment that has sucked the very marrow of joy from our lives, rather than getting on with doing the job as Hunt would have done:

"Right, find out who that dead woman was, find out who killed her. Do it now."

Seemed like a bizarre choice to me.
Going back to a set of neanderthals who he has nothing in common with and who regard him as a poofter.
Not to mention the fact that his love interest has gone two whole series without dropping them for him.
How crap must his real life have been?
