Weak plot; bad script; acting ordinary; only good thing was the scenery.

Had the misfortune to watch this last night. Counted the amount of times the word 'pet' was used, must have been at least two thousand. Newcastle grit eh? I suggest the writers and producers watch Get Carter with Michael Caine...Newcastle seventies style, but without all the stereotypes. Toward the end I actually felt sick of the phoney geordie accents, so much so I had to gargle with Listerine. Vera...destined for Alibi afternoons anytime soon. Awful.

I lasted ten minutes then fell into a deep sleep/coma/near death experience.
Incredibly awful.
