I miss Mrs McCarthy, Bunty and Sid

Warning: Spoilers
Sid has been gone awhile, but it's always so delightful when he has a guest appearance. I rather liked him as a regular back in the early seasons. Then there's Bunty who I thoroughly enjoyed in every subsequent season. Mrs McCarthy on the other hand has been my all-time favorite and having her gone is just absolutely not doing it for me. I'm not entirely sure if the new person is going to win me over, but as of now the big shoes that she has to fill are proving a little more challenging than possibly the actress can manage. Nevertheless, I'm delighted to have Tom Chambers back in the role of Inspector Sullivan and I'm even more delighted to be rid of Mallory. Inspector Mallory was always such a caricature. The overacting, the exaggerated expressions, the never-ending rudeness that just didn't seem to always fit the scene. I'll miss none of that, but I am very very pleased to see Tom Chambers and he's dashing self back onscreen.

A character that many love, but I cannot stand is Flambeau. Smug, self-assured and a cad. His guest spots I easily skip.
