Advantages: Great programme Good Storylines as always

Disadvantages: Mike Baldwins death scene somewhat of a damp squib

Love the serious have watched intently since a child. Mike Baldwin an institution in himself sadly developed Alzheimers a great storyline and brought to peoples attention the plight that many people have gone through and are going through. A real tough gritty part which Mike carried off fantasticlly. It was decribed to me many years ago, as "Like living with a stranger" the person you love not knowing who you are at times, becoming paranoid. Forgetful an absolute nightmare at times for the carer.
Really disappointed with Mikes death scene. The hype that had been given prior to the event and the actual death of Mike in the street to be likened to Nelson surrounded by all was definately no comparison. Feel it could have been done differently. Not the most memorable of endings for such a great character but overall a fantastic storyline.

Summary: Death on the street a disappointment.
