The BBC comedy drama with Alun Armstrong, James Bolam, Amanda Redman and Dennie Waterman? Now I liked Series 1-9 because it had James Bolam as Jack Halford who I thought was the best, Waterman was good but don't like Armstrong What is it like with Denis Lawson, Nicolas Lyndhurst, Tamzin Outhwaite and Dennis Wateman

has james bolam as already quit and amanda redman and alun armstrong have said they don't want to do anymore was this weeks episode designed to see if dennis waterman and denis lawson can carry a series on their own.

I love New Tricks and the cast are amazing (I have a massive girl crush on Amanda Redman) so am really sad that it is coming to a close and about the friction between cast and writers: http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/amanda-redman-slams-new-tricks---daily-tv-round-up-.html http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a400885/new-tricks-writers-hit-back-at-cast-script-criticism-wkers.html http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a400297/amanda-redman-quits-new-tricks.html As much as I love New Tricks, I am inclined to agree with the cast when they say it isn't as good as it used to be - while it is still a great drama it seems to have lost its "edge" (for want of a better word) that it had when it first started, and the comedy element isn't as sharp anymore. I will still watch the new series on Monday but it won't be the same now jack has left/is leaving. Now that James Bolam has left it doesn't surprise me that the others are following suit to be honest. It a shame its ending but in a way I am glad because you can't call it New Tricks without the amazing cast - it would be rubbish with anyone else!
