Yes, the show Japanese Tears (ITV - 1987-1991).

Terry McCann moves to Tokyo and becomes the 'Minder' for the loveable rogue and used Datsun dealership owner Atherukuoka Dailiru.

It is over.

That was a very mixed bag and did have a cobbled together feel to it. In places, it was very dull. In others, genuine talent showed through.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars, as I felt the highlights were too thin on the ground and it was mostly lifelessly produced.
