  • It's finally the start of a new series of this excellent programme but something's very different.

    This new series has changed in so much as Adrian Lester, the Team Leader has apparently gone off to Australia for a big con. Danny Blue trys to take over as the new Team Leader and comes up with a plan to sell the Hollywood sign to a very rich Texan, played by Robert Wagner. Good production idea to get a big name in the first episode!

    Through a series of twists and turns they get their money and their man!

    I'm still trying to decide it the programme works as well without Micky Stone (played by the terrific Adrian Lester) even though I really like Marc Warren (Danny) and his "rough diamond" character.

    I'll keep watching. Hope you do too!moreless
