I was actually leaning towards a C+ or B-, since I like the premise of two elderly burglars coming out of retirement, and the use of '70s-sounding background music.  However, I gave up after seventeen minutes because the Syd character (played by Warren Clarke of Dalziel and Pascoe) was such a moron.  Why have him outsmart a sophisticated alarm system and then make mistakes even Harpo wouldn't have made breaking into a house in Duck Soup?  William Sinclair directed the first three of the six episodes.
