    Has anyone been watchin’ the Cracker repeats on TV3? They only started a few weeks ago and already the Robert Carlyle/Hillsborough storyline is beginning next Monday –that seems awfully quick to me. Does anyone know if TV3 are skipping any episodes/story arcs, cos it seems like something they would do. Can’t remember meself, only saw one or two episodes when they were originally broadcast in the mid-90’s. Didn’t really appreciate them back then -was fairly young, so a lot of it went over my head. Really enjoying it now though, fantastic acting, and the scripts… well, all I can say is that Jimmy McGovern is a genius.
    Thoughts anyone?

    A great series alright. The Hillsborough storyline and the one about the guy with the stutter are those that stand out for me. Not sure how many Jimmy McG wrote before they were taken over by someone else.

    Haven't been watching them due to TV overload but it's a fantastic series. The Liverpool fan (which is the Hillsborough one, correct?) was probably one of the best pieces of drama ever screened. Unless I'm getting mixed up, isn't this the one where
    Bilborough dies, crawling away saying "These are the words of a dying man".
