Arnie wrestling a giant snake and stuff. Bit off topic I suppose.

Bring back hanging
Allright, so far - but the totally wrong choice for lead.

The whole show could have been done in an hour and been a fuckload better for it. I'm all for slow burners but that was ridiculous.

Pity the only actor who sounded like they were from Yorkshire was Bean. Still, loved it, confusing plotting nonetheless.

You're an impatient fella though. I didn't think it was slow at all.

I better get a move on and read 1977 and 1980.

Pretty good, that, I thought. I like the idea of bringing in real-life events for the next one, too.
Kept reminding me of a sort of grim-up-North James Ellroy at times - corruption being played out over decades, a backdrop of real events etc. Didn't rate the lead bloke much, either - it could've done with someone a bit rougher. He didn't convince me much.

It was slow going for most of the way. I kept wondering if I really should've got my arse into gear and bought and read the books. The narrative wasn't always easy to follow, I wasn't always clear on what the main plot was but thinking over it not sure that mattered in the end.
As someone said, attention to detail was very good.
A hobnob to the first person to name the supermarket where the carrier bag was from.

Nah, Hillards. First supermarket I remember, Hull Rd, York, near me Nana's.
(The bag they had, had blue stripes, I imagine thats where Tesco must've got them from, they took Hillards over in 87 according to Wiki)

It was either that or Grandways I was gonna gues. Don't remember any others but I was only 1 in 1974
There was more than one plot
I meant like the corruption/child murder/gypsies/developer thing. I didn't really connect the pieces together very well.

Yes, loads - don't be obtuse
Aye Grandways, I think we knew em as Jacksons. Think they had something to do with Presto aswell. I don't remember seeing Morrisons until I moved across the Pennines. Funny thinking of all them regional shops swallowed by the Tesco monster.
same here. the two hours zoomed by. i thought it was really good.
