I'm in the UK too, I immediately noticed the difference in quality of the first episode following the Xmas break, it’s awful, it’s defiantly like a cheap day-time soap opera now!

It’s almost like a different program, everything has changed, the shooting style  (a lot more wobbly hand-held “follow the actor”shots, quick zoom-in/outs, pans to actors faces etc. The sound quality has also changed, there are now numerous ‘fill in’ background sound effects that were never there before. As for the acting… it’s taken a definite turn towards ham!

I’m just really hoping this is one-off (a choice by the director) if not then the show has instantly gone from being one of my top watches on TV to probably never being watched again, a real shame.

I absolutely agree.
