I understand why it was time for GG to go...
But I think there's plenty of room for more from John Bacchus [played by Lee Ingleby] and Rachel Coles [Lisa McGrillis]
After all, Taggart ran from 1983 to 2010, and the eponymous detective died in 1994. They kept his name for another 16 years. And Morse had his Lewis spin-off. Barnaby's cousin was wheeled in to keep Midsomer going.
"Bacchus and Cole" would make a great series [if only their names didn't sound like a firm of upmarket producers of emulsion paint]
Did others enjoy GG as much as I did?

I was expecting one of your encyclopaedic posts on Dylan Thomas!
ReplyDeleteI'm across the pond here in the USA, Cleveland Hts. Ohio to be exact and I have to wait for all the good mysteries to come to dvd and then to our local library. You're so lucky you get to watch the series on telly. I love to watch them all!! I think Bacchus could continue on. Our last series for GG was series 7.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it but I've always wanted to! I like spin offs.
ReplyDeleteI was so disappointed by the ending!I thought 'surely not'!I agree with your points on keeping it going but I always thought that Taggart was never the same after his demise.
ReplyDeleteWe've enjoyed episodes of this show over the years, and clearly need to finish it. I really enjoy the lead actor. He's excellent.
