Since I was in my late teens, Amsterdam has always been my favourite city.
Marc Warren is an excellent actor. I certainly enjoy old episodes of Van Der Valk with it great theme tune and where that character is played by Barry Foster.
So what could possibly go wrong?
Well apparently everything. After half an hour, even the smashing views of Amsterdam weren't enough to prevent me from hitting the "off" button. I simply couldn't stand it any longer.
Why waste money filming in the Netherlands. To make this drama even a fraction credible, it should have been filmed along the Thames estuary - perhaps at Tilbury. At least there, the characters might have appeared faintly believable.
Opinions always differ - but those who enjoyed this dreadful remake are clearly easily pleased.
