I have just started watching the Show. Only seen three of the First Season's Episodes (6 Episodes). But its one of the best Crime Dramas I am watching. After that I download all 9 Seasons.
I am also watching
New Tricks
Prime Suspect
Wire in the Blood
Silent Witness
Really great British Crime Dramas. Well scripted and acted.
Can anyone recommend any other British Crime Drama of the same caliber.

More of a dramady rather than a true drama, but I've always really enjoyed Hustle:

Seen LUTHER and SPOOKS. Just finished Season 9. The one thing I admire about British Crime Series is that you never know what is going to happen next. They don't hesitate to kill off the main character.
Another Show I'm watching is NEW TRICKS. Love it.

Wire in the Blood is a bit too dark for me so I watched only a few episodes then stopped.
