Cuffs (new crime drama set in Brighton)

[Elvis]

, many years ago ITV made a Royal Navy drama called 'Making Waves', after 3 episodes they stopped showing it, i doubt the Beeb have got the bollox to do the same!

I remember it well. It started with six million viewers and lost one million every episode. As it was due to run for a total of six I suppose ITV couldn't risk ending up with no one watching.

I know this because ironically ' Making Waves' has made its way onto the GCSE Media Studies syllabus, as an example of the power of commercial TV channels and their power to axe a show with spiraling ratings. As you say I doubt the BBC will take such action. Why should they? they are funded by you know who.

Not a patch on BBC's Warship then?

I just watched the second episode and I think it's OK.

I think its ok as well. My kids love it as they are spotting all the places they know. I just think people are disliking it as it has gays in it and they think it stereotypes the town?

I'm glad I'm not alone. I enjoyed it.

Add in another person who has watched both episodes and liked it.

And me

Having worked in the Civic Centre for many, many years I also find it quite odd seeing the offices, corridors and even furniture on the TV! There will be an episode at some stage where the Town Hall in Worthing was used for filming too. I know some of the ladies were very happy having their photos taken with a couple of the actors. So much excitement in the office!!

Warship was a doc. Making waves was drama, allegedly!

The longest car chase up mill road ever?

 

[surrey jim]

What multi storey car park are they at?

 

[bobbysmith01]

Worthing I think

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I could only stand it for about 10 minutes, then The Beatles programme drew my away from that shite.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Pity they couldn't finish filming the Dukes Mound scene on the same day, one minute brilliant sunshine the next fog and rain

I think every car chase in this BBC shocker if filmed in Mill Road.

Must do the filming when we have a game on and the roads closed!

What multi storey car park are they at?

It looked very much like the main car park in Worthing Town centre to me

 

[The Rivet]

Politically correct in every respect. typical BBC bull.

 

[Rogero]

This is all getting rather kinky. Two male cops snogging like mad,two female cops snogging,a detective at a brothel tied up in handcuffs, is that what our police are like. In Brighton?

Maybe we should ask Edna . However I believe she's unavailable for comment at the moment : a little tied up i believe .
