The Long Firm

[Dover]

Starts tonight on BBC2, and I am in eager anticipation, as the cast looks good. However, has anyone read the book?

 

[dannyboy]

wen does it start?
i read it few weeks back
was very good but bit gay

 

[Gully]

Read the book ages ago, it was excellent, haven't bothered watching the TV prog as I am leaving the country on Saturday and would miss all the other episodes.

 

[Gwylan]

Thought it was excellent, better than the book.

Of course, it helps when you have actors as good as Mark Strong and Derek Jacobi in the main roles.

i watched it last night, thought it was superb

 

[y2dave]

I thought it was excellent, just hope it keeps up the standard.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Excellent. Another tour de force from the beeb. Christened "Our Boyfriends in the South" by a mate of mine.

I read the book and would you guess it BBC1 and 2 broke down for 15 minutes after it started gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Popkins]

it was ok but you could tell it had bee adapted from a book
(if that makes sense?)

 

[Dandyman]

The book is one of a series of three which link the main characters. The other two are "He Kills Coppers" and "True Crime". All of the the books draw on the underbelly on the last 40 year and include everything from the Krays, Harry Roberts, the birth of the Skinheads and convicts as sociology students !

A very good read, IMO.

I watched the first episode last night, then saw the second straight after on BBC4,.... really cool that....... both episodes were good and shall watch the other two ( only 4 in total apparently)

I did enjoy last nights episode. But Jambos mates description is spot on.
