It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the Hunt character was inspired by the old Fast SHow "Monkfish" sketch, in his detective guise. "Oi, you, get yer knickers on! Tea, two sugars!"
I enjoyed the first series of Life on Mars initially, but grew bored once the novelty wore off (which as fairly thin in any case).
Dunno why people are going overboard about it. I find old Sweeney episodes far more entertaining if you're looking for a piggish 70s copper and some vintage vehicle thrills.
