In fact the whole theme of the programme has gone out the window I reckon. So now we have the new 'New Tricks' and having watched it for three weeks I can tell you that I won't be watching again. Boring, boring, booooring! What say you members? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Certainly no good now, and not worth watching any longer in my opinion. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It would not be the same without James Bolam for sure. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Probably a new broom been told to 'spice things up a bit' get the audience figures up. That being the case, I think he/she has failed miserably and I for one won't be watching it again.

Amanda Redman and Dennis Waterman both want to move on to other things. It certainly lost something when James Bolam left. I still enjoy repeats of the old ones though.
