Heartbeat Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
VividSimon Simply Perfect
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Peter Hockley "Heartbeat" is often criticized for its highly formulaic presentation and the fact that the makers no longer work to the realistic 1960s time-line. I can understand those concerns with the show, rolling my eyes at the fact that the show was first set in 1964 and has now been going about 14 years.However, I think the type of program "Heartbeat" is should be taken into account before giving this show the thumbs down and negative reviews. Basically, it is meant to be that warm, enjoyable, pleasant, family-friendly, predictable and lovable show that it has become over the last 13 years. With a mixed bag of some reality, some comedy, some drama and nothing is taken too seriously.I personally am glad they carry on making the show and did not stop after 6 years. And I look forward to when 15 and 16 are shown in Australia! :-) Ohhh and I must say - I'm not much into cars, but I quite like seeing the '60s cars on screen, hearing the '60s music and the scenery that have all been significant aspects of the show's success.
walfordqueen I've been watching Heartbeat for the past 7 years and have to say that it's a very gentle show. The show did suffer after losing the character of Greengrass but I like the way that things have picked up after a brief boring period. The character of Peggy is a bit tiresome but you can cope with her if you ignore the fact that she's supposed to be their latest replacement for Greengrass. I don't know how long this show can still continue to be set in the 60s for though when you consider the fact that soon the cast will begin to look much older than they were ten years ago. Overall it combines some great sounds of the sixties with some entertaining stories about crime.
palexandersquires There is a new Sergeant in Adensfeild, and he is a strict man! he is played by John Duttine of my previous Review! he came into the peaceful Police Station, and what is the first thing that he does? he does not say Hi, I am your new Sergeant, if you have any problems you know where my door is" No, he makes more problems for the policemen at Adensfeild, by threatening to close the Police house. and he did not approve of the tip off to Robert Walker ,P.C.Walker to you and me, about a robbery that was going to take place at that stately home. It is always the same when you get a new boss, (He/She) does things differently to the previous boss. I wonder how Merton would of handled that tip off? John Duttine is still a brilliant actor after all this time, since 1981! People power showed Sgt miller that they were not going to let him close the police house. I remembered the Ford Zeypher 6 police car from when I was a child and I laughed out loud at the condition it was at the end of the trail period. it was not the gleaming prize car but a wrecked one! and the chief constable was looking on at it!!! there was a good technical description of the car's engine by the beautiful Rose, that mechanic a V6 twin carburettor engine under that bonnet. this gives the car a very fast 100 M.P.H. speed if it is needed. I like Gina in the Adensfeild arms pub and Oscar Blaketon it was a shame that he had to retire from being a Sergent due to a heart attack if viewers remember. I also think that Ventress is a good civilian to have in the Police station he did not do much work when he was a copper, but he is making up for it now, by answering the phones. I also can see my Bush radio in the police house! the old VTR 130! mine is the tr82/97.and is a reproduction and is available at Index for £25! I also like the music on this programme. it shows us the golden age, when people respected each other more those days, and life was at a slower pace then. None of this rushing about, trying to get things done! If I had a time machine, I would go to 1960, up to 1969 and stop there.
richteabiscuit "Heartbeat" is a brilliant nostalgic feel-good drama set in the 1960's. It mixes gentle story lines, beautiful scenery and hit music from the period to create a madly watchable program. Sure it is not ground breaking and certainly would not win any awards for creativity but it provides the perfect form of entertainment for a Sunday night. The light and easy to digest stories are just what anyone would want the night before an early morning start for work. What makes "Heartbeat" so good is the likeable characters and combination of humour and action. It doesn't take itself too seriously and never fails to have at least one scene were you couldn't fail to laugh or raise a smile. Even though it is on 24 times a year it hasn't deteriorated into just another soap like "The Bill" or "Where the heart is" with episodes made up of mainly stand-alone parts. It is deservedly the #1 drama on UK TV with 10 million viewers and even had a spin-off made in 2003 called "The Royle".
