In The Dark

Indeed! Perhaps wrecking ball would be nearer the mark!

Bowling ball Maggie? It looked more like a space hopper !

Well I liked it but I was disappointed with the ending that didn't seem to clear enough up for me .

Well I really enjoyed this (we recorded the four episodes and binge watched this week). I've read a few Mark Billingham books, but don't even recall the main character, so that says a lot for my memory! Tom Thorne is the name I remember.

I preferred the second story of the two, and thought it was very well executed. Once you'd suspended all disbelief in MyAnna's ability to rush around solving the whole thing while holding that bowling ball up under her jumper, that is.

I was surprised at Hendricks as well, expected a much tougher looking bloke.

I agree AuntieFlo neither Hendricks or Weeks are as I thought they would be, I need to forget the books and enjoy the series, think I like this second story better than the first.

Is he as camp in the book Auntieflo ?

we're watching and enjoying this, although I wasn't sure about Myanna Buring as Helen, but she seems to be doing alright. I have read quite a few Mark Billingham books, but the pathologist chap, isn't at all as I imagined him. he's supposed to be pierced and tattooed, and has a new one, tattoo that is, for each of his 'conquests'.

I love it! Are there more books?

Yes he was the usher callgirl. He seems like a nice bloke and he likes country music!

Wow i am gripped now, her partner seemed such a great guy and i felt so sorry for him because of her behaviour, now there is a twist in the story and i am not sure if he was so nice or a bit shady!!!! Cant wait for next weeks episode.

travel I'm not watching this,series, but it seems as if in all TV cop shows the first rule is not to call for back-up going into dangerous situations.

I watched this on catch up last night and found myself wishing it would hurry up and reveal the obvious abuse she had experienced. I felt it was too long and drawn out.
Also when they were in the old pump house i kept thinking would they not have called for back up under the circumstances before going inside the room.

I watched on catch up tonight, I felt like felice at the is it my baby point. Not all coppers have tortured personal lives honest !

She was in Downton as well Alima but perhaps you didn't watch that.

I realised that I have read a couple Mark Billingham books but imagined her differently - did one or more of his books feature her partner more prominently?

Just watched on catchup, looks good. Have not seen the lead actress before. I have read the book and remember the name of the lead character but I'm blowed if I remember the storyline. Makes it all the more exciting!

Thanks BlueBelle

I was enjoying it last night until the "is it my baby" bit, and I just thought, here we go again. I will stick with it but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Tegan2 it's My Anna

I enjoyed it too. Was it just me who thinks young Linda in the flash backs looks like a bloke in drag ?

I enjoyed the first episode too. I have read another book featuring Helen Weeks and I had imagined her quite differently. Didn't spoil my enjoyment though.

I enjoyed it too but the main character saying them instead of those made me want to shout a the TV

I started to watch but discovered within 5 minutes that at present I am reading the book with a different title so I stopped watching- I would prefer to read the book as I am 3/4 way through it.

I enjoyed the first episode, started much better than the last couple of new series I watched a couple weeks ago (The Loch and another I cannot remember name) so hope it carries on like that.

The "bit on the side" who appeared at the end is the sidekick from Vera, liked him in that.

I read the book a couple of years ago, being a great Mark Billingham fan. I can remember some, but not all, of the plot, so will keep on watching. I knew that Mark Billingham had a small cameo role in the drama, I only caught a quick glimpse, but I think he was the court usher, can anyone tell me if I`m right?

I enjoyed it as well. I do hope the police couple remain together and don't encounter the predictable marriage threatening scriptwriting although I don't hold out much hope.

At the moment it's a change from, 'Your career's ruining our relationship so I'm off to shag the woman down the road'

They actually laugh together and he stood up for her when his misogynist mate made an inappropriate remark.

Can't last
