The Body Farm - did anyone see it?

[Backdrifter]

I thought it was one of the shoddiest dramas the BBC have produced for some time.

15 minutes in, I predicted it wouldn't last beyond this one series.

[BetteK]

I did watch it and thought it an absolute load of rubbish. Very, very poor indeed. Will not be watching it again.

[mata hati]

We thought it was rubbish too - predictable and over " bloody" with their ice-cream cartons of evidence! - and as for the strange science person testing stuff on his own skin .....weird ! Shant be watching it again, anyway!

[BagPussAA]

I was going to watch it on BBC I-Player but I do not think I will bother now if you say it was that bad!

[Backdrifter]

At times though it was unintentionally quite funny - that Dr Who 'Blink'/Halifax ad bloke played someone who supposedly has some kind of 'disorder', which seems to consist of his eyes going a bit wide every now and then, and not telling his boss when he's found detonator fragments. That's a bizarrely specific disorder.

The BBC's obsession with youth and race resulted in a black girl who looks about 18 being a member of this elite forensic team. It's like the Sarah Jane Adventures or something. I loved the bit where she introduced herself to some people with "Hello, I'm a scientist". In a collection of poor performances, hers stank the worst.

Keith Allen sleepwalked his way through it as the regulation gruff police boss.

i loved the way she took a mouth swab, then said on the phone to her colleague "im sending it to you now" Through the goddamned laptop!!

I didn't think it was that bad. Couldn't watch a lot of it because it was so gory and had to look away. Think I will try the next episode and just hope I can watch a bit more.

I couldn't sort out what was going on for ages. I stuck with it to the end, but must agree with you. It was very poor.

[trionam]

Definately a let down I had high hopes cause I liked Tara Fitzgerald in waking the dead,the Im a scientist bit I agree bad her character was terrible when she said to one of the nursing staff I need to see the rest of that file the nurse just took her word for it and all that filling the family in on all the medical Jargon that wasnt odd at all...

[JonnyBoy12]

Pardon my ignorance but what was this show about? Was it about the trade in illegal human organs?

[bednobs]

no

[cupid04]

Not a patch on Waking the dead. Wont be watching again. Very disappointing.

[cupid04]

best bit was the swb Land Rover and that has seen better days.

I was hugely disappointed to. I had been very much looking forward to it, especially as Trevor Eve is involved in the production.
I won't be bothering again.

[lankeela]

As I said on the other thread I thought it was brilliant.

[Dodger666]

Complete and utter rubbish.

[Frank97]

Watched it on the I-Player last night, can't say I was impressed, don't think I'll bothet next week!

[shaneystar2]

Load of tripe .
I love crime and detective type programmes but this was dire .

[Frank97]

As with many series the first episode is often the best so I dread to think what the rest will be like.
