The Night Porter

'different from' before anyone plonks me into pedants' corner

Does anyone remember Rev which was on BBC as far as I remember?

Tom Hollander as a lovely vicar and Olivia Coleman as his solicitor wife - quite different to the parts they are playing in The Night Manager!!

When Tom Hollander became quite sinister and threatening last night, I kept thinking of him as Rev Smallbone to stop myself being terrified of him

I closed my eyes during the violence too, I always do. Opened them to see him on the floor with a mangled face.
Well done the makeup department, very convincing. So was the work done on the supposed healing process.

Loved it - despite the violence which I closed my eyes for -- Olivia Coleman is brilliant too -

Atqui I have to agree about the violence, it made me feel sick... but I persisted and it is getting more and more intersting. my only quibble is that I can't understand the pschyocology of such peole. The Tom Hollander character with his thinly veiled menace, protecting his boss, the various people pretending to be one thing but being another.

I'm such a transparent person, I just find the gratuitous violence in any film/book very difficult to understand.

I enjoyed the first episode , but I had to turn it off last night as I couldn't stand the violence.

It is,very exciting and compelling. DH has read the book. Can only get better, though it is very violent.

Loving it. Something for both if us which is unusual.

I enjoyed The Night Manager, and am recording the series.It's a bit different.

Second episode very good. Lots of blood and guts. Hugh Lawrie very menacing.
I bet he enjoyed playing a baddy for a change !

Came across it by accident when looking for another program on catchup, watched it and glad I did - now hooked.

I'm hooked too. I thought it captured the 'darkness' of the espionage business well.

Really good - loved it but then I always enjoy a Le Carre.

DH was going to watch it upstairs as he didn't think it would be "my thing" but I said I'd give it a go.
Glad I did, I'll be watching next week.

Sorry! Manager! Night Porter is unfortunately seared into my brain, can't watch Charlotte Rampling now!
I will give it another shot then, I do rather like Tom though!

I'm hooked! Hope it continues in the same vein. I can just remember the film, might look it up.

Hugh Lawrie is playing his character well, it must be tempting to go into' Bertie Worcester and Jeeves ' mode!

We were both transfixed. It certainly has promise and I'm really looking forward to the next episode. And Tom Hiddleston is such a gorgeous hunk great actor.

I loved it certainly edge of the seat stuff, we'll be watching the next one.

Yes, very dark film with Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling.

Yes I think it's The Night Manager, thought it was gripping, looking forward to the next episode. I think the Night Porter may have been a film a while back, the name seems familiar.

Ah, light dawns - sorry, didn't watch it.

Um - The Night Manager?
Thought it was utterly brilliant.

Didn't know they'd done a tv version...what channel was it on?
