Nope watched Collateral, recorded it but I'm wondering if I can be bothered. John Simm a good actor but clearly the acting equivalent of a bus, nothing for ages then two at once!

News update, my clever dh looked on utube and found someone on there with advice, and he HAS FIXED IT.

Out tv suddenly stopped working last night, it wouldn't switch on, so I didn’t get to watch either. Its on the floor in front of me, its back removed with all the screws carefully placed and its inner bits on display. Am hoping dh will be able to fix it. Actually feeling a bit worried as i have already planned what i wanted to watch tonight.....

We watched Collateral and recorded Trauma, just because John Simm is in both, and being dozy I could well confuse the two plots and get a completely different story altogether.
hmm

I do think the surgeon's daughter will become involved in a bigger way ?? lets wait and see.
I watched it on +1 after Collateral and can't make my mind up as to watch it to-night or not.

Oh dear, I’ve been sucked into yet another drama series that could well disappoint! The father’s a self-centred oaf, and his wandering into the operating theatre and confronting the surgeon at the hospital later were just not credible. At least it’s only three episodes, and of course once started, I need to know how it finishes!

It was a load of boll** (complete tosh)!

You have to remember its fiction so anything can happen. There has been so much drama on TV lately though, with endings left up in the air, I feel loath to get into another series. I watched Collateral on BBC2, then Trauma on ITV+1 last night, not sure if I want to follow either of them up.

Sorry John Simm I mean !

We chose to watch this over Collateral which John Simmons-an actor I usually highly rated-was in on BBC at the same time.Wish we had watched that now,will catch up on I player.
The scene where the grieving father interrogates the surgeon on his own seems very implausible, surely someone from management would also be there.As for the surgeon attending the funeral?Found the whole thing clunky.But it's the same writer as Doctor Foster and I felt that -especially the 2nd series -was a load of overblown tosh with characters I couldn't really care about.
Will watch the lovely Douglas Henshall back in Shetland tonight instead of episode 2 of this .

If you watched this new drama last night how did you feel about it?I am feeling the father of the son is a bit over the top at the moment, hopefully it is for the reasons he believes. He is just coming across to me as a not very nice person looking for someone to blame for everything wrong in his life, apart from the tragic death of his son.
