Watching New Tricks Last Night, Did Anyone Think

[Psybbo]

That it set the scene for a new series with Alun Armstrong and Susan Jamieson and perhaps her husband James Bolam directing?

[mxyzptlk]

I said much the same to Mrs M last night

[baza]

it does look that way.

[woofgang]

yup, I did too.

[Psybbo]

Thank you, I do hope so

[marval]

I also thought that a spin off would be good.

James Bolam is just so busy at the moment and on tv every day virtually, he probably is enjoying that work rather than the gruelling schedule of a prime time drama. and my granddaughter thinks he's great.

Loved James Bolam in the Likely Lads and When the Boat Comes In where he played Susan Jamieson's love interest!

I seem to recall her in Corrie, Gerry someones wife ??

[Robinia]

Grandpa in my pocket was made 2009-2011 so James may well be retired or having a rest.

Susan Jameson is still busy

I doubt we've seen the last of Alun on tv.

[Psybbo]

Apologies for miss spelling Jameson. Anyway we shall see.

I thought Nicholas Lyndhurst was replacing Alun, although as a different character.

I hope it doesn't happen.One thing this episode pointed up was that the UCOS team only really works when they are together,remove one and they are less effective.That is why they seem to be having so much trouble finding Denis Lawson's role in the series.
