Heartbeat from the beginning

[Deleted]

During my absence without internet, I started watching 'Heartbeat' again in the evenings. I have DVD's from season 1 all the way to the 15th season. It was wonderful catching up on Heartbeat again. It was like revisiting old friends.

One thing  I noticed was about Phil Bellamy. I was never keen on his character when I first started watching it, but now that I know what I know about his private life - I disliked him all the more. I did feel bad for him when his baby son died though. It was such a heartbreaking episode when he and Gina lost baby Daniel.

I would have loved to have seen Oscar and Alf in a Heartbeat spin off from when they were young coppers in the 30`s and 40`s. What a shame that never happened. 
Can you imagine what it would have been like if they showed Heartbeat n its present day? Gangland type shootings, and drug related crimes in every episode. Ugh - no thanks.

I think it's disgusting that the programme never got a proper ending, the last series ended on a cliffhanger! Not even one episode to tie all the loose ends up like they did for that Stephen Tompkinson vet in Africa programme (forgotten it's name) which hadn't been running anywhere as long as Heartbeat. Very shoddy treatment.

Glad you had something to watch in the long winter nights though Wend.

Was it 'Wild at Heart' Lottz?
I have season one of DVD that I still haven't gotten around to seeing.

I`ve never seen the final episode of Heartbeat Lottz.
Yes it was cruel what the producers did to the 'Heartbeat' fans. It was loyal viewers that made the show the huge success that it was. To be treated so shabbily was spiteful, and uncalled for.
