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

ADD ALLUSIONS
- When Danny and Ash are in their SUV discussing the fact that the French call a quarter pounder with cheese a Royal with cheese, this is an allusion to the famous opening scene to Pulp Fiction when John Travolta and Samual L. Jackson are discussing the same topic. Edit
- Danny mentions having acquired a pair of Dorothy's Red Ruby slippers from a private collector. These are the shoes worn by the character of Dorothy in the 1939 file The Wizard of Oz. There are actually 5 pairs of these shoes in existence. One pair is on display at the Smithsonian. Debbie Reynolds owns the test pair. The rest are owned by private collectors, except for one pair which was stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005 and has yet to be recovered. Edit
