I have set the video, so even if I do start snoring on the sofa, I will see it tomorrow!!

Oh it was disappointing!

Guess it's almost inevitable there will be some weaker episodes.
Looking forward to next week though, after the trail where he hears his Mum's voice telling him she's decided he should be switched off..................

Yes - this one was weaker than the others - still, the characters are bonding nicely. Sam's Mother's voice on the phone at the end of the eposide made shivers run up my spine . . . and I've just realised - I won't see it!!! I will be in Austria . . . drat and double-drat

I started watching it last night but fell asleep half way through it. I never got to find out who done it

Set the video/recordable DVD/TV+ Yola!

Here's the preview

"Sam's two worlds appear to collide, when he hears what seems to be news of his impending death in 2006 - at the same time a man is threatening to kill a group of hostages in 1973.

Sam employs his 2006 methods of dealing with a hostage situation. Gene on the other hand, has his own style of approach – he wants to go in with all guns blazing.

As the clock ticks down, Sam faces a battle against time to ensure no one, from himself to the hostage taker, dies that day..."

DM - I don't want to leave the TV switched on . . . I think it has to be on standby to record. I was planning to turn all electrical off at the mains apart from one radio which I'll leave on for the cats. I don't want to take any chances with either the house or my 3 lil furries lives' and would rather eradicate all risk of fire by switching everything off!!!

Disappointing again last night. I have the feeling this is a four part series stretched to fill the available TV slots.

Thought it was back to its previous high standard last night.
Final episode next week

Am a little dismayed to hear of a second series being commisioned.............but I think that decision was made recently, so just hope there is a good ending next week. Watch this space.

It was remarkably good wasn't it??? Although I think I was still tired and can't quite remember the detail, just the gist. The bit at the curry house gave me goosebumps . . . Am very much looking forward to next week's episode to see how they round things off.

I'm surprised to hear of a 2nd series too. It would be nice if it could follow a similar theme but with different characters and a different era; essentially just use the framework of the 'concept' and take it in a new direction.

We'll see . . . .

How about DCI Hunt being knocked out in a bar brawl and going forward to 2006?!
