Drama 9.00pm BBC2
Opinions have been divided over the dot-com drama, which has been rather too metropolitan and high-tech for many. Some felt that, after a promising start, they couldn't warm to any of the characters. For others, creating a web site is a so-what kind of enterprise compared to the life-saving and crime-fighting staples of most other television drama. At the time of writing, some 1.5 million viewers have stayed loyal to the series, which ends tonight, though another 1 million who saw the opening episode have opted out. For executive producer Tony Garnett, it has slipped below the appeal of his previous series Cops. And, once again, in this final episode of the series, Mike and Luce go through the wringer as they try to keep afloat. GE
