I arrived at BAFTA tonight with Apollo (Jamie Bamber - Battlestar Galactica)… no not arm in arm, but ducking out of the rain at the same time. Jamie (who doesn’t know me from Adam!) was attending a preview of his new TV show, Law & Order UK. The show itself follows the formula set by its famous US parent Law & Order created by Dick Wolf (who was also there for the launch and Q & A session) some 18-plus years ago! As a fan of plot driven TV crime drama it’s nice to see this fast moving style transferred to the UK. The downside is that they are reusing (with adaptation of course) US scripts and thus for fans like me it had almost the feel of a repeat (eg I remembered the US episode used for the pilot and therefore knew the outcome too soon). However, for new viewers they should be in for a treat. The Kudos produced show will be appearing on ITV in the near future.
