  1. Cardinal (2017-2020) Crime/Mystery Acorn (BBC etc) are rerunning Cardinal (English language ) all 4 season 6 episode a season---- made in Canada An adaptation of Giles Blunt's award-winning mystery novel "Forty Words for Sorrow", It really is good Drama 7.8 ---some seasons over 8 IMDB But very Dark. No series is the same crime---but there are connections so best to start at Season 1 PB has it all still from the beginning
  2. Yer of course---even Prince Phillip (before he became a Royal) and 4 of his shipmates,were arrested for it in the 40s-- In red light district of Kings Cross Oz, near where their Greek warship was docked. But in Oz they call it indecent exposure---sounds a lot worse---so of course it was all expunged from the records , but not from the notes of one of Australia's top crime reporters---who then as a young cub reporter was sent along every morning to see if there was anything of interest in the early court sessions.... "As Crime Goes By: The Life and Times of 'Bondi' Bill Jenkings" is a book about the life and career of Bill Jenkings, a prominent Australian crime reporter, written by Bill Jenkings with Norm Lipson The book details his extensive reporting on major crime stories and the fierce rivalry among tabloid crime reporters Available for purchase online through Amazon https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=bondi+bill+book+Australia
  3. And its so short -actually -about 20 min of the program----- I've nearly had longer commercial brakes on some other USA shows ... pity it could have been good
  4. 26 years here come Dec.....yer its a great style........
  5. Not making excuses for him --but its fact that most Asian countries do not have enough public toilets or public rubbish bins. The guy in Pattaya had no excuses , he could have just run into a bar and the price of a soft drink could have used the toilet. I don't know Singapore enough to know the area that he was in, but a jail sentence seems a little harsh, he was at least doing it down a drain--unlike our Chinese Tourist , who just squat down and Key by the side of the road.
  6. Thanks Will27-- I watched the whole series--- thought it was good after a slow start---I can see the comparison with slow Horses --- guy gets to set up an office in the toilet basement--with a couple of police rejects ---and a box of cold case files .
