Well, not exactly, but there's been a strange sense of deja vu hanging round this house on Thursday evenings recently.
Jack Taylor, a new drama on Channel 5, based on a set of good books, beautiful setting in Galway, great star in Iain Glen, should have been enjoyable viewing.
Sadly not. The episodes last about two hours and each time so far I have given up part way through, recorded the second half and watched it the next day.
I suppose I have at least been interested enough to watch the second half each time, but honestly if the best bit in a thriller series is a running gag about how, having been thrown out of the Garda months ago, the hero hasn't returned his official Garda coat then something has gone fairly badly wrong with the program somewhere.
