I think fat B****rd means that in the book Havers is much less attractive than the Havers in the TV production. She's pretty cute on TV, really, they seem to think that a bulky unfashionable coat will cover that up. In the TV show I keep being surprised that Lynley doesn't go for her. In the book, it's seems more natural that he doesn't.

Unfortunately, I missed the Prime Suspect this past weekend due to one of those "it's due tomorrow, Mom" big projects. My TV reception is weak enought that if I tried to tape it, the signal from the VCR would mess up the TV signal. Sigh.
