Broadchurch new series.

I bought "Life isn't all ha ha hee hee" because I'd enjoyed "Anita and Me" so much but I found it to be a disappointing follow up.

I can't remember much either Ana except it was about a group of 30 something Asian women. I do remember it being quite funny though.

I read that years ago, but I can't remember a thing about it now!

My DDiL was mucking horses out only a few hours after giving birth to my DGS. So sitting in the court (whether or not she should've been there????) would be a doddle !

Perhaps "Life isn't all ha ha hee" afterall Juliette

The baby was born large enough to be weaned anyway, it's probably eating proper dinners.

I thought that about the daughter, too! Then remembered how good DD was with her baby brother.

I did child-minding for a few years, and often kept my charges overnight. Now I am wondering what their parents got up to!

I like Meera Syall as the Judge. She reminds me of a number of the younger, female, not all white judges whose courts I've worked in. Her informality alongside not taking kindly to sarcasm from witnesses reminds me of one judge in particular.

Mind you, none of us are saying much about Broadchurch is reflective of 'normal life' are we, it wouldn't be half as entertaining if it was some kind of docusoap

They're copying the format of The Killing so much I was wondering if I'd be less critical and picky if I watched it with subtitles and pretended it was Scandinavian [?]....

I know teenagers do change but the complete transformation of the daughter (who had dodgy boyfriend and possible drug use in the first series) is nothing less than miraculous. She could even be left with the baby!! Even some of the best teenagers I know would be useless if they had to change a nappy.

Me too! I thought it was hilarious when she said she didn't take kindly to irony or whatever it was.

Oh yes - I did think that was a big casting mistake!

The only thing I can't take seriously is the casting of Meera Syall as the judge, keep expecting her to say something amusing. Oh, apart from everything mentioned so far.

I suppose her milk wouldn't have come in yet (if it was real life!). The older daughter was waiting outside the Court with the baby in its pram...

Her daughter was feeding the baby and milk doesn't usually start oozing on day 2 (does it - not in my experience anyway)

Mind you - in her situation, I'm sure most newly delivered mothers would have been unable to stop weeping in the court room.

Amazing breast pads now, and it's a magic baby that will never need to be fed or changed.

But who was feeding the baby and why wasn't she oozing milk everywhere?

Tegan they throw you out the same day now if you get into hospital at certain times, so I was out shopping the day after DS was born - in the snow!

After DD was born I couldn't walk properly for about three weeks, mind you.

I caught up with Broadchurch last night and I'm still enjoying it. I didn't have a problem with the character who went to court to watch proceedings the day after giving birth. The birth was complication free, all she was doing was sitting and she's understandably obsessed as the man on trial is alleged to have murdered her son.

Her attending the court proceedings was the least of the numerous ridiculous things to happen. Still love it though, another great cast and as someone already said, I could watch Olivia Coleman endlessly, what an actor

Yes, she did but they should have thrown her out on her ear (or backside) because she is also a witness

It's so bad, it's unmissable!

Benidorm in Dorset

Did that woman really go to court straight after giving birth to her daughter [albeit taking a cushion with her to sit on ]?

I lost the plot of the plot....so I gave up on it!
