That's no way a magnetic car tracking device would be placed on the very bottom rear of chassis...At the first big bump on the road, it would fall...

A reasonably engaging series with some plot twists at the end.

I'm a little confused. I've just started watching episode 1 and can't understand how zooming in with the camera and using the monocular to get the car number plate are different. If it was visible with one it was visible with the other.

Well, what can I say.... The script seems to have been written by a team of 1st year media studies students who have not been shown anything about Manchester at all - especially as to what the aveage Mancunian is wearing. Haven't seen such terrible costumes in Manchester ever!. The story line is deplorable, and bears no resemblance to real police procedures. This it one of the worst productions ITV have ever made - characterisations are poor in the extreme and the plot is so convoluted and just fails miserably in its credibility and continuity. You are just left thinking "That's not right..." and "They wouldn't do that....." A story HAS to have a certain amount of believebility if it is to succeed, and this just doesn't have that. Best avoided, in my opinion.

I agree tashadaviesjj. The clue was in the outline of the story - surveillance - so no screaming tyres, no car chases, no running after suspects. The watcher needs patience - not just us - but the actual people doing it. Everyone now wants things sorted out in a couple of days, which doesn't always happen. One thing did amuse me though did none of these folk have curtains/blinds at their windows therefore allowing anyone to be able to see straight into their home.
