----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Marlyn I assume you are talking about the TV series produced up here in Manchester by Granada Television, starring Robbie Coltrane as Fitz, and the fabulous Geraldine Somerville as 'panhandle'. I am a second year degree student in Tv & Radio at the University College Salford just down the road from Granada, we have seen them filming the series onmany occasions. I has had rave reviews here in Britain, along with its criticism for being to real (Sex scene at beginning of second story, this season, although after watershed). We are looking forward to a new series of Cracker in the autumn, with filming commecing in the summmer. Robin J Boldon Manchester, UK.
