Steve from Birmingham on Heartbeat: "i like the nostalgia and steam sequences on the railway. Dr Kate Rowan was the GP i would love to have-talk about anything and totally gorgeous-sad when she left. not many left from the original cast sadly and the newer story lines arent as good but still enjoyable."
elaine from rhondda cynon taff on When The Boat Comes In: "My husband and I are really enjoying the reruns on yesterday. 2010 hasnt been a great year so far for us. But the show has helped us escape. Jack ford is a really great character and James Bolam plays him so well, Jessie Seaton is also great and all the cast and crew. The storylines are great and it feels like you are transported back with the show we are so grateful yesterday has rerun all the episodes it is a real treat for us."
DAVE BROWN from S.YORKS EX NORTH SHIELDS on When The Boat Comes In: "Fabulous acting - Gripping to watch. Wish we still made them as good these days.
Well done all the cast!!"
