More episodes of Jericho Of Scotland Yard have
finally arrived on DVD from WGBH Boston Video the previous episodes were not
bad, as this link will show:

Unfortunately, these shows starring with Robert Lindsay as
the title Inspector Michael Jericho (set in the 1950s) are simply not as
engaging or suspenseful. To Murder
& Create has a nuclear weapons expert getting snuffed on
Valentine’s Day and The Hollow Men offers a serial killer hunting
couples in London. Though somewhat
watchable, I expected more and saw less.
The letterboxed 1.78 X 1 image is softer and more color
limited than expected, with a poorer performance than the previous DVD, but
once again something that would have been less of a problem if this had been
anamorphically enhanced. The stylized
shooting is not half bad, but they get more carried away here this time to the
show’s detriment. The Dolby Digital 2.0
Stereo has no real surrounds and plays back best in regular stereo. There are no extras.
