Whoa! There are some outstanding BBC drama series out there: Life on Mars, Rome, Being Human and Little Britain, for example. |

JenniDark you are right but the normal TV person seems to be thinking that british shows are too complicated if you look at the successful shows in US TV you are going to notice that these are the shows that do not exactly require much thinking gonna give this a chance |

I have actually downloaded Downton Abbey due to Craig Ferguson to see what it is all about (and because of the beautiful Jessica Brown Findlay). |

... is on ITV, not BBC. But the "reboot" of Upstairs Downstairs (original series on ITV) is on BBC. Meanwhile, back on topic: Inside Men (BBC1). We're not in a bank here, but a security deposit, a big warehouse full of cash that people are employed to count (do these places exist?). A couple of the guys who work there – a security guard and a warehouse man, both of whom have financial problems (plus these are difficult economic times, we're constantly reminded) – are siphoning a bit off. Fifty grand actually, but that's little compared with the millions there. Still much bigger than my level, but again victimless ... Except it's not. There is a victim: poor, uptight, number-crunching gamma-male depot manager John (so excellently played by Steven Mackintosh). Very insecure, to be managing a security depot. Up until now, he's covered any losses out of his own pocket (as well as winning manager of the month competition every month). But 50 grand? That's out of the question, especially now with a new adopted daughter. Anyway, he tells the two culprits after catching them, what's the point of putting your hand in the till if you're only going to pull out 50 grand? Why not take the lot? Whoa, is timid, stuttering John suggesting a heist, on his own depot? In fact, that's where the whole thing starts off – a proper robbery, with men in scary masks, pump-action shotguns, a blown-off knee- cap, screaming staff. John looks like the victim here: they're holding his wife and new daughter hostage at home, he has to help the masked men help themselves, to millions. Then we jump back a few months, and begin to work forwards, through the two employees' thieving, and John's discovery of them. So do they then team up, are they behind the big one? Is this mild-mannered John's master plan? It looks that way. It also looks as if we've almost caught up with ourselves, the past with the future. Can there really be three more episodes? There must be more twists and turns. And I'll be tuning in. It's great. A tense, knuckle-gnawing thriller, with a lovely stark industrial quality to it – refreshingly unflashy, unOcean's Eleven. They are great characters – real and believable, not just John but Marcus (Warren Brown) and security guard Chris (Ashley Waters) too. And at its heart there are interesting issues and questions of morality. Sam Wollaston, guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 February 2012 |

I agree the BBC dramas are quite the pain... slow-paced, mostly book adaptations, with a "nordic independant movie" touch... Nah, where GB shines is comedies (BlackAdder, father Ted,...), fantastic (Misfits) & ofc documentaries (Life, planet Earth...) |
