Oh, and the one black man in the show has the nickname Ethnic!

Hasn't worn well, has it!

By contrast, The Sweeney is still incredibly watchable.

Loved London’s Burning! How are you watching it? Netflix?

I loved London's Burning as it tapped into the much neglected 3rd emergency service. It is dated but I also think it's got a nostalgic feel too. I watch the repeats when I can.

Ah, I used to love it.

I watched the entire re-run of London's Burning on Drama recently. Enjoy those early series - it goes downhill after about season six.

I stopped when Sick note died. It was so sudden, his name was read out in a list of those who died without any warning. What series was that if anyone knows?

CormoranStrike · 12/08/2018 21:22

Sick Note dies??????

Confused

Spolier alert, banana?! Sad

I remember seeing it at the time, and just thinking about it, makes me feel old.

Bananalanacake · 12/08/2018 21:30

Sorry. But it was years ago, so what's on now must be repeated. Is it on Netflix

CormoranStrike · 12/08/2018 21:37

I’m watching it via the Firestick, rather appropriately.
