Cry of hte Blackbird? I havne't seen all the first series on UK
Drama, as its on when i get home from work, and if Im late I might
not bother watching. which one is that as I have never seen it? why
is it controversial?
I enjoyed Bloody Week, as I said, soem of the acting was a bit !"Allo
Allo" but overall i thought that it was good and i didn't think that
it was an implausible development for James, that he shoudl tihnk a
little about politics and morality in such a situation, I really
liked that aspect of it.

suggestions that Cry of the Blackbird from 1 was a bit controversial
at the time the VHS recordings were first offered, political
correctness creeping in or some such nonsense, and that Bloody Week
from 2 did not really lose much to the thread of the story and was
not up to the standard of the rest of the production anyway. (Which
is a matter of opinion – not necessarily mine).
