Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The reason none of Nicholas Rhea's original stories were adapted for this series was because some of the real Greengrass's activities were rather bizarre, and because one of his reminiscences was a near duplication of a James Herriot story (the one about the dog who was put to sleep because he was thought to have been attacking sheep, only to be proven innocent after the fact when the real culprit was shot to death somewhat later, after he had died). more

Time for Heartbeat to be taken off life support!!, 4 July 2007
3/10
Author: (mikedunton) from United Kingdom

It really is time to bring this to a close. This is set in the sixties. It began in 1992, so the regular actors have now aged 15 years in a series that is supposed to span 10. Gina in mini skirt and boots, trying to dance in 60s style just looks ridiculous now. Alf, Bernie and Oscar are well past their sell-by dates and the whole thing is tired. Please can it now!!! By the way, I used to think it was a really good programme - especially the music. Just as an aside.......... Now that smoking is banned in places of work in England, they won't be able to smoke when making the programme. So, no smoking in the Aidensfield Arms, no more roll-ups for Alf in the police station - over 40 years before the ban came into being!!!
