Luther - BBC1 9pm

I do hope this picks up as the first episode was so leaden, so BBC drama-ish. Scenes ran for too long and scenes where needlessly repeated - I go to my house, I get mad at my wife and I kick a kitchen door in. I go to where my wife works, I get very mad at my wife and throw some of her work colleagues out of her office. I go back to my house, I get madder still at my wife and start a fight with her new boyfriend and four police officers. OK Luther, we get it - your not happy with your wife.

Luther wanders about a strangely uninhabited London behaving in a most un-police officer type way. He's just back off suspension and yet he conducts an illegal search of a suspects' flat and steals potential evidence - an urn containing the ashes of a dog!

BBC budget cuts are in evidence everywhere, the policestation is deliberately small in order to make it look crowded and yet he seems to be conducting the investigation into the cold blooded double homicide on his own.

Still, it can only get better
