With the Graham-Mays double act giving it both barrels, Code 404's return is one to savour.

If only the storylines were better, this could be a really good series. But the writers seem so enamoured by their star double-act that they’ve taken their eye off the rest of it.

There’s a lot to like but a lot that could do with dialling down.

Code 404's weakness is the plots, which seem to be the show’s lowest priority – it's not a serious crime drama, so why put any serious thought into the crime bit? I watched two episodes and had tuned out of the storyline before the first was over. ... Still, the actors are having a laugh, and it's infectious.

We can see what the boffins and TV format surgeons at Sky were trying to create when they took on re-inventing the long-gone series The Six Million Dollar Man, but I can't help but feel that Armando Iannucci, say, would have been a more skilled, wittier surgeon. As with the bungling DI John Major himself, Code 404 only just about works.

Despite the presence of Graham and Mays, Code 404 just isn’t funny enough or interesting enough to spend any time watching.
