When the BBC made watchable programs

Big deal is a rarety, the BBC make rubbish political correct brain wash rubbish these days. Their guts are gone, but back in the 80s there were a few programs and series that were good. Big deal is one such show, written by the same writer as Minder it is entertaining and believable, watchable and enjoyable. The cast do a great job and the story lines are entertaining. You notice loads of faces from past shows like EastEnders, Grange Hill, The Sweeney. Stepping back in time when you watch this you realise how bad and rubbish shows these days have become. Shame only series one is on dvd. It was a great entertaining bit of TV gone but not forgotten.
