The other day, someone leaned around me to press the button on the door of my tram, despite me standing right in front of it and having done just that seconds before. Do I really look that simple?

The acting is dreadful, despite Eddie being in it. en.wikipedia.org It just seems as if its the normal BBC lets put people in a costume drama - BUT, please accept my apologises z100jeff as I didn't realise it was a book. On the other hand the beeb have redeemed themselves with the GAME, IMO.
