Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Does it have EL84's? Celestion Blues?

It also feels like the "cop language" is very forced. Every other sentence seems to have the words CHIS, boss, OCG in it. Gets a bit tiresome.
The plot is laboured too, AC12 are happily pursuing every bum steer without a question. Also, some of the references to earlier series mean you have to be a super fan, almost, to get them. I had to look up who Tommy Hunter was, no way I would remember that. Some of the plot is pretty ludicrous too.
And yeah, some of the acting is dire.
I don't think it's a patch on any of the previous series, not by a long shot. Hopefully this will be the last, as it looks to have run out of steam, for me anyway.
Steve Arnott - what would be wrong with having him speak in his natural Scottish accent?
The nottingham accents get on my pip too, not wishing to offend any East Midlanders, but it grates on me. Same way it did when they were in This Is England (despite being set in Sheffield, all got Notts accents).
he's called Buckles, not Buckoos
Knew I could rely on the good old Fretboarders to pan every single aspect of it
Anyone else seen caught this little detail from Ep. 5?

(I have to confess, I went straight to Google to look for the meaning of 'Homozygosity' after the episode!)
Hastings, Arnott and Fleming have always been a bit crap and boring - a caricature, wooden and tediously infallible respectively. But the heavy lifting, acting-wise, has always been done by the main "guest stars" in each series - Lennie James, Keeley Hawes, Thandie Newton, Daniel Mays, Stephen Graham (dodgy Irish accent apart) to name a few. Kelly Macdonald's character this series is weak. And as I said earlier, I do think it misses the humour of Dot Cottan. But it's still great!
Adrian Dunbar is the best thing about it, for me - but totally agree that they are now cramming in his "catch-phrases" far too much.
Still, I'll be sad when it ends - but then hopefully Series 4 of Ozark will be not too far away.
