I agree with the comments here..This was a gem of a series and with the right people in charge at the BBC it should have been commissioned for a second series.The script was sharp, gritty and at points hilarious and the subject matter of dealing with the ASBO generation and low-life offenders opened up a world of real issues that are not comfortable or cosy and certainly made you think..Still it was axed but two lagers and a packet of crisps, Miranda and docile crap of that ilk continues to air.
There's one on "that" auction site right now, starting price £49 - considering the dumbed-down rubbish that's being slopped out now, it's worth the price... I wouldn't mind, but I recorded it from BBC3 when it was shown, lent it to someone, then....grr
@zzippyman1 I know it's mental, one of the best shows I've seen on BBC and they can it after one series, Phil Daniels loved doing it, he mentions in his autobiography that it's the best thing he has ever done..I sold my DVD because it goes for mad money but I keep looking for it at Bootsales, but never see it, either no one bought it or they all love it so much they won't part with it!
@HighQualityStandard8 yeah mate I'll try and do it today...I know what ya mean I sold my copy on DVD as it goes for silly money, still wish I'd kept it though.

I agree - why was this magnificent series not given a second series? And why is it harder to find on DVD than rocking horse poo?

You couldn't upload the episode by any chance? This show is harder to find than Osama Bin Laden.
