Ha, i enjoyed it. Will we ever get bored of watching crime drama with a broken/tragedy-struck/autistic lead detective who is being given one last chance by a fatherly/motherly senior officer...

It is the past history that led to the award. Or, they give it to rundown cities that need a bit of tourism as they struggle for tourists. Hull, Coventry, Bradford. Which is why one city I can think of didn’t need it with all its attractions.
Londonderry? Some, like one in Norfolk, make a bid but fail to win. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Londonderry, glad to see you using the right name, was given it to help it recover. Don’t know of any in Norfolk who bid.
Norwich bid for this year, but lost out to Bradford, probably disqualified for having too many cathedrals.
They lost out to Londonderry also, we may not have a cathedral but we've also never been excommunicated either, unlike some Norfolk city. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
There was a big debate about whether they were going to broadcast it or not, but decided it was unfair on the contestants if they didn’t. Viewing figures are 30% down.
