[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 384270, member: 26097"] The American version of Cracker paled in comparison to the UK original. One wonders if there was interference by ABC in the show too. R Lee Ermey's character Lt Fry was going to be written out in a similar situation to his UK counterpart Christopher Eccleston (and being the known actor, probably expensive hence being on short term) but ABC put their foot down and Lt Fry survived, exiting by being offered a new position in the LAPD. (The writers made the version of Panhaligon, Hannah Tyler, their new Bilborough instead, and changed the Albie character to a woman). The US version of Touching Evil saved the Mark Rivers character, whereas he was killed off in the UK original. [/QUOTE]
