Talk:Scott & Bailey

Poor characterizations
This article doesn't adequately address the gritty personal lives of the 2 (or 3 if Murray is included) main characters: 1. Bailey is a promiscous lush, excercising little if any good judgement in her personal life. her accomplishments include blackmail and other criminal behavior. 2. Scott is unfaithful and her character is what I'd say is "undeveloped", mostly revolving around Bailey. Also, Murray is described as a single mother...Wasn't her marriage was intact at the beginning of the series? (Not to mention that Bailey is NOT sergeant until, what?, season 4?) The article also claims that DC Lamb is fired for leaks, he was also under CRIMINAL investigation for the same. (I dont know if season 4 resolved that...)173.189.75.8 (talk) 13:34, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Fifth series?
Has a fifth series been ordered? There is nothing reported in the article, yet the "Character list" section seems to assume that a series 5 will be made, despite the pat ending of Series 4. Unless there is some news of which I am not aware (and has yet to be added to the article), then we should perhaps revise the chart accordingly. Thoughts? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:16, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Cancelled?
The article is unclear as to whether the series is cancelled or not. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 05:26, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

writer vs idea
Sure, the idea "drama set in Manchester with two ballsy female coppers" was Jones and Lindseys, the writer is credited in the show. The idea is covered adequately by the Production section; increasing prominence of writer. CapnZapp (talk) 00:14, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Encyclopaedic not media-speak
Please do not use ‘creative choice was made to end the series’ as this is close to meaningless, and is simply media-speak. The current version is clear and further ‘explanation’ is unnecessary. Also, others are requested to stop their confrontational approach such as making snarky comments and false accusations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:930B:B000:B5E3:3DE8:6D15:8CA8 (talk) 20:26, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
