I only caught one episode of that on a local PBS station, and it was the last one of Season One. And then they dropped it.

I like quirky small town series (Hooterville, Fernwood, Cicely, Clatterford, etc.), and this seemed to fall into that category....

I think we have seen every episode of that bloody programme at least three times. I found Dani Harmer's version of Tracey much more bolshy then she is in the book, and it is really very hard explaining to a six year old that it is not acceptable to talk to your mother the way Tracy talks to grown ups. They do not understand the concept that it's reaction to circumstances. They just think it's cool and the way you should speak. God alone know what a grown up Tracy will teach them(-:

Having said that I do look JW, but in the main prefer the books which are a little less in your face. Though they could differentiate the covers to make the books for older readers more obvious - one of mine brought back Dustin Baby aged 7 and it begins with imagining a fourteen year old getting drunk at a party and having unprotected sex. Wasn't quite the way I'd been planing to introduce the birds and the bees!
