Thanks Viper - I'll give it another go. I haven't tried for about three years. And yes I use uTorrent.

If you have a copy of the mag the cars they use as police cars appear to be pictured in there, although there are four and it could be a red herring. Will post in the Spoilers section for those who are bothered.

I wish that by "longer" they meant more episodes in the season. That's probably my only complaint with the show; that the seasons end too quickly images/smilies/sad.gif

I know it isn't much help when it's all over after six but six episodes is the normal length of a British Television 'Series'.

I am in Australia and we get the Friday Night Project in Pay-TV/Cable TV's Foxtel, it is on UKTV 3 or 4 nights a week. I really enjoy it and think Alan Carr and Justin-Lee Collins will be a scream.

P.S. Richmondgal are is your name derived from where you live or the Richmond Football Club?

P.P.S Archie411, I don't know which country you live in but harddisks are a dime a dozen in Australia, 1 Tb is around $300AU. I have filled a 250 Gb harddisk with my torrents, unfortunately with all the Internet in Australia, I can't afford to share it.

Yes Fishman, I wondered how long it would take to see that my name is derived from the Richmond Tigers. Great Team, shit coach.
