Get rid of JNT. NOW!, 19 Feb 2011

The first of JNT's horrid tenure of the series. Awful story about a cactus. Baker going through the motions, nothing redeeming about it, he sort of Who that got it sacked for 16 years.

But they also brought us K9. Good for thier bank account, rubbish for everyone else!!!

His is assisted, and sometimes held back by a succession of Hunters (Hunter being the title given to the head of the department), a psychotic Toby Meres, a brash and arrogant James Cross and Lonely, a smelly rogue who is scared witless of Callan, as he well should be.

This release is the whole of series 3 and 4, and takes the series up to it's conclusion… Read more
