Outlaws: good telly

I caught the first episode of Outlaws, a BBC Three series which has come to BBC 2. I caught it again on Sunday night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Centred around a pair of solicitors, Phil Daniel's cynical, desensitised Dunbar, and Ray Emmett-Brown's young, idealistic, Gulliver. The writing's sharp, and the comedy is black, but the series tackles hard issues (domestic violence, mental health) with subtlety and heart. It also has fantastic titles.
