In my opinion Cracker was the greatest of all TV dramas or crime shows. The writing was superb and the storylines had everything. The best actors also starred in Cracker. You have got Robbie Coltrane, John Simm, Robert Carlyle, Christpher Eccleston and Ricky Tomlinson, who had some funny one liners to break up some tense moments. This box set is well worth having as there is not one episode that in my mind is a weak one. There are no extras on any of the discs which is disapointing but still the Cracker set has to be a must. I watch them time and time again.
