Wow , how do I sum up this episode, it has every painfully bad stereotypes about British people in 50 minutes and it even has Americans doing Australian accents.
I just hope this is ironic and done tongue in cheek as its quite painful to watch.
The series as a whole is weirdly amusing , this is just weird.

This has it all humour, 80's style humour and an enjoyable science fiction plot.
I once read that Frank Grillo stated that he couldn't act but I think he is selling himself short as he is wonderfully comedic but in a Die Hard sort of way.
Would I look forward to a sequel, absolutely.

When the new Battlestar Galatica came out all the fans of the original hated it and if your a fan of the books , you will probably feel the same about this.
What helped with BG was to forget the source material and treat it as it's own series and if you do that you will probably enjoy it , I did and although I have read a number of Terry Pratchett novels , I never read Guards , so I think not reading the books may help.
It is darker in tone than the books but there is some moments of humour and it's actually very watchable.
This has the feeling of a program that was written by committee , I can picture the BBC meetings.
1. 50% female - Check.
2. Transsexual / Homosexual Individuals - Check.
3. BAME representation at least 50% - Check.
That said this shoehorning doesn't detract from the program and it still very much worth watching , just think of it as a comedic Lords of the Rings and not a Discworld program and you should find enough to enjoy the series.
