Anyone following this confusing series??
Last night he is in a coffin scratching at the cover boards with a wristwatch body, and a few moments later, appears to be on the edge of a gravespace....did I blink? and miss something?

Rotten Tomatoes rated this 2
... stay with Silent Witness

"Harrow analyzes a human arm recovered from a crocodile's stomach."

yeah, sure some light relief after latest NHS bodycount

my rating: same as Bobtarian , boring to the point of falling asleep. If this happens to you watch out for the crocodiles.

I think it was last year when I switched it on and saw one episode. Decided to stick with it but found myself switching off before the second episode was half-way through.

You can't say I didn't give it a fair go! :-(

I have never heard of it! Probably because it's on one of the hundreds of programmes we can't get.

It dosn't sound as though I have missed much. :-| :-|

Harrow is on UKTV Drama which is on all Freeview receivers so you should be able to get it

Silent Witness, I like .............I loved it when it was a BBC series......

BUT

I dislike the way nowadays,an hour program is split up into 10 minute episodes interspersed with upto 12 minutes of adverts.....and invariably although I am never early to bed, I cant justify staying up half the night

Don’t you just love those programmes that do a catch up after each batch of adverts.

when the ads come on just double fast forward with the remote
a few programs disab;e ffwd but not many

depending on the tv you are using it is possible hack out the ads altogether or even replace them with something else
however I don't think Sky et al would be too happy about it

Rollo, because of where we are situated geographically we get our Freeview from a sub-station and can only get 13 channels, plus radio up to 5pm, when BBC Alba uses the channel.

Bob,
I’ve now caught up with the show and must have blinked at exactly the same moment.

Note to self. When buring someone alive don’t be a cheapskate - buy a decent coffin.

Now, about the Luminaries ...............

"when the Devil drives, etc"
