    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jim Proctor's very first words in Episode #1.1 (2001), as he is grabbing the attention of the audience when he is giving a speech, are "Shut it!". This is probably a sly reference to the same phrase that Jack Regan (also played by John Thaw) used frequently in The Sweeney (1975).
