BULLMAN AND DIRTY DEN – together at last! An unloved dramatic coupling – he was a streetwise priest, and he was a reluctant villain – it told of the coming together of two mismatched brothers played by DON HENDERSON and LESLIE GRANTHAM. All swept-back hair and long black jackets, a pretty hopeless crime-drama effort all round in a particularly BBC early ’90s type of way (hello, MOON & SON).

Paff, this was ace – and a bona fide Dad fave, to boot.

Lots of arty shots of neon signs reflecting in a puddle.
I didn’t watch it much but was talk of the school the morning afterwards once or twice.

Nonsense! This was brilliant! Really good, in turn both witty and dramatic and always classy, with an excellent soundtrack of jazz and aspiring hopefuls!

Didn’t the final episode feature a cameo from the Stan Tracey big band, playing at the club? Or am I mis-remembering that?

Another hit & miss crime drama from this time was Spender, when Jimmy Nail seemed to be trying to outdo Dennis Waterman in how many elements he could contribute to a programme.
I’m assuming there are some rights issues as it’s never been repeated or released on DVD.
