Couple of comments on the last two eps of "Hustle" aired in the States...
Last night's was very fun. I can't remember when I last saw Richard Chamberlain doing comedy. It looked like he was having a great time. The silent-movie flashbacks were a gimmick, but gimmicks (such as the musical episode and the occasional looks directly into the camera) seem to work well with the tongue-in-cheek approach of this show. Last week's was also good (you won't find *me* complaining about seeing Adrian Lester and Marc Warren in their birthday suits), but I had trouble buying the activities that would have attracted police notice. First, dropping Mickey and Danny naked in Piccadilly Circus (or wherever that was; apologies to any Londoners reading this :-)). Then, even more egregiously, having Danny sic the cops on Mickey. Yes, Mickey was able to prove that the charges were false, but Danny was putting the entire team at risk by bringing Mickey in contact with the police again. Those are minor nits, though. All in all, an absolutely delightful show. Anim8rFSK...
