The Fixer – Series Two

26 May 2008 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Yes, it’s a Bank Holiday and I’m not supposed to be working but writing is my life. Oh well.

Anyway, just thought I’d drop by briefly to mention that The Fixer has finally been commissioned for a second series. Well done ITV; well done Peter Fincham. Apparently, there’s going to be more action (good) and more guest stars (erm, maybe good).

My reviews of the first episode; the finale.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
