New Tricks Seasons 1 - 5 Boxed Set will be an excellent addition to any dvd collection. This series is one of the best BBC television series I've ever watched. The main characters are very easily engaging and believable . The series centers around three retired senior detectives and their Supervisor who are brought together to form a cold case department called UCOS or unsolved crime division. These three older men ; Jack Halford, former Superintendent, Bryan Lane and Gerry Standing work through a whole host of unsolved crimes from Robberies to Fraud, Missing Persons and even Murder with all the slapstick humor and suspense as well as some very sensitive moments that only the one of the best BBC shows I've ever seen could provide. You'll laugh with these characters and urge them on as they dig their way through the evidence relentlessly if not comically to the eventual climax of each episode. The theme song too is a riot '' You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks '' sung by none other than actor Dennis Waterman ( The Sweeny ) who plays Gerry '' Bloody '' Standing as they call him on the show. You've got Comedy, Suspense, Sorrow, Joy, Disappointment, everything you need in this show to fully enjoy it and the anticapation of the next episode. I've got the whole series now on dvd and this is definitely a must buy for any collector this is one of my all time favorite British tv series you'll love this one I know. There are 12 seasons of it and I can't wait until they have the whole entire series in one boxed set. Enjoy.Read full review

Watching it was like seeing old friends. The characters are very real and lovable. I like it because i'm also an old dog who learned new tricks. Joan Cantin
