I saw the episode that ends in a pub siege and I suspect it's the pilot.
This show was dire. Flying gas bottles, explosions, replacing any sign of a laugh.
For example, Head is a good actor but in the pub siege scene, when the two leads have an attempt at an 'emotional' face-off, Head's old friend is pouring out [badly written] feelings but when the camera keeps cutting back for Head's reactions, he seems to be suppressing a bilious attack.
The men in the pub passing code words to allies outside, like they'd been in pub sieges time and again and made a habit of escaping by firing gas bottles out of windows. The technical guy shouting down the phone "We're being traced." Only an insomniac copper desperate for some sleep would want to have listened in on that conversation. The end scene was a waste of money, Hollywood on the cheap.
The highlight was Jenny in a red PVC catsuit.
I'd have watched an hour of that without complaint.

Should I watch this or that new James Nesbit thing?
With a choice like that, I envy the blind.
