Well here we are again! Series 3 has finally arrived and continues in the tradition of great show, great storylines, bugger all extras! Blue Watch are still in shock after the sudden loss of Vaseline in an underwater rescue tragedy. Malcolm takes it particulary hard as he gave the instruction to use breathing apparatus in an attempt to save the lives of the men whos van had slipped off a dock into the Thames. Josie Ingham the watch female officer moves onwards & upwards to another station but pops up from time to time. And then, there's Colin! Ah young Colin! Fresh from the training college, keen, fearless, clueless and so green he's almost luminous! All credit to actor Stephen North for such an excellent portayal. One minute you want to scream at the guy to grow up & get on with it, the other, you'll felling sorry for him & wish everyone would just give him a break. On the emergency side, there are a few good set pieces that the crew get their teeth stuck into. A fire on a boat, a worker trapped on machininary halfway up a high tower block, workers trapped alive under a trench and a chemical lorry collision. All done with the convincing realism of a pre-CGI era. High marks then for the series, low for the production company Newtork DVD for no extras and long waits between series.

Series 3 of 'London's Burning' is definitely one of the best, combining some of the most dramatic, action-packed storylines with some meaty subplots and a terrifically humorous set of scripts by the the brilliant Anita Bronson, a writer of whose caliber today's television is severely lacking. Add to this wonderful characters in the shape of Station Office Sydney Tate and Area Commander Bulstrode played brilliantly by 'Blake's 7's' Gareth Thomas, and you have an absolute winner of a series that demands to be viewed again and again. Series 3 also marked the time when ITV started injecting extra money into the show to beef up the set pieces, and the credit for this goes to the producer Paul Knight, who was told by ITV bosses to cut the budget, and instead replied 'No. It's one of your top-rated dramas. I want an extra 100,000 per episode!', the results of which are here for all to see. Enjoy!Read full review
