Hurray! I loved the previous BBC series (though I will admit to sometimes having a hard time understanding Parker and Small.) Life is good, can't wait!

Did not care for previous guy. Dark and morose. Havers was ok.

The previous tv adaptation was far from the original book in quality, so hope for new writers. The actors zero fine esp Sharon Small.
