This is one off the BBC's most underrated shows. Sue Johnson is brilliant in this as Grisham, as are the two main characters Jeff Slade and Holly Turner. Slade is likeable for the viewer becaue he always pushes things that bit too far! Employing cheeky and rebellious methods to solve the crime. Wheras Holly is the down to earth (as much as you can be having a time machine hidden away!)and sensible one.
Although many people would point to the flaws in the 'time travel' aspect, the show is not a strict hard nosed drama. More a drama with comedy ailments, which, in turn allow us to bypass any such flaws.
In an era where the BBC have, by their own admission, struggled to find a good Saturday night show, why not bring this back? Several years on, and with the SAME CAST? I mean none of them Johnson aside have really been in anything else particularly successful after this. (Although French does appear in some other 'Sunday evening' prog)
They could start it up as if the machine had been tampered with and that it hasn't been used in the years since the programme was last aired. Possibly having the two characters have drifted apart, only to bump into each other and regurgitate the need for time travel.
There was much scope for other adventures in another series. Possibly having episodes where they were transported back further.....?
I would urge the BBC to seriously consider this.
The show was proceeded with Jonathan Creek, and you can see shades of it in this. However although Jonathan Creek is a good show, this was better, had more scope in another series.
Please get it back! A Saturday night hit beckons...

Why this wonder film is not on DVD yet I'll never know. Its probably the most under-rated film ever! Foul Play combinines genre's of Comedy, Romance and Thriller. There are many things that you may not get away with today included, which only adds to its quality. You get a classic array of villans. The "Albino", the "Dwarf", the Archbishops twin brother, Scarface!!...
In this and Silver Streak (Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor) Colin Higgins has 2 masterpieces! Why are both not out on DVD, its criminal!!
This one of Chase's first (if not the first?) of his feature films. Goldie Hawn (Gloria Mundy)is in great form, and the late Dudley Moore (Stanley Tibbets) adds some sly comic wit. But the combo of Chase and Hawn is superb! As also in the (not quite as great) 1980 film Seems Like Old Times. Unfortunately not a sequel (despite the title!)
This simply is a must see. Fans of both Silver Streak and Fletch will like this one.

This is probably the funniest of all Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor films. They are a class act as a comic duo.
See no Evil Hear no Evil comes a close overall second to their best film, Silver Streak (1976). But for laughs this beats off both all 3 of their outings (inc. Stir Crazy and Another You.)
The whole blind guy deaf guy thing is superb, and Pryor as usual has some great lines. Check out his response when Joan Severence asks him if he has any last requests!!
Most people prefer Stir Crazy but See no Evil Hear no Evil IS definately funnier. And its one of only a few films you can watch again and again and still find hillarous.
