Has anyone seen any of this series yet? I've only just found out about it.

I couldn't cope with it turned it off after 20/30. mins

I suppose the Jackal is based on the Bulldog chain?

Does it get good? It seemed a bit cheesey to me - too much glitz and glamour - but I'm always happy to be put straight and as a podcaster I listen to always says - "If you enjoy it then you've won"

OK - cheers Tom, maybe I'll give it another go at some point. The dubbing doesn't really bother me - I'm just a grumpy old man!
