I quite liked it (it was co-produced by STV, so it was repeated all the time here, so they'd get their money's worth). I think my favourite episode was "Silver Blaze", which I recall as being the only one that was exactly the original story ... IN SPACE!

It is however, hilarious for a UK resident to hear "Yardies" being used as a slang term for Scotland Yard. (In Real London, Yardies are criminals of Jamaican origin.)
