Just found this mystery series 8 episodes on the BBC IPlayer. All set in Wales and from BBC Wales. Seen the first two episodes which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just wish the whole series was ready to watch.

I see Keeping Faith is being repeated this coming Thursday at 9.00pm on BBC1. I am going to watch it for a second time as it was so good.

Keep not Jeep ?

NanKate Fri 01-Jun-18 20:56:07

I will PM you SallyAnn1 as I want to jeep my anonymity.

Sallyann1 Fri 01-Jun-18 20:47:39

Nankate - who is your DS ? smile

Brilliant brilliant series thoroughly enjoyed it. Need more like this.

NanKate Fri 01-Jun-18 18:32:56

How interesting SallyAnn1 I am glad she seemed as nice a person as when I heard her on Woman’s Hour. When I see they are repeating the programme I will alert everyone on this thread.

My DS appeared at Hay on Tuesday, but that isn’t relevant to anything ?

Just been to Hay Festival and saw Eve Myles and (the writer) Matthew Hall talking about Keeping Faith. Eve Myles came over as a really lovely person - and very hardworking (learning Welsh and recording one series in Welsh).

I hear they are repeating the series on BBC4 as it was so popular.

No I didn't find the episodes were slow and in fact I am revving up to watch it again as I missed some of the twists and turns.

Doesn’t anyone else think the episodes moved along at a very slow pace? I think Eve Myles is amazing, we’ve watched her in a few things, Belonging being one also Torchwood. She’s actually married in ‘real life’ to Evan.

No doubt the constant use of mobile phones was necessary to keep everything moving along at a cracking pace but it got on my nerves when there was hardly a scene where one didn't ring and interrupt the dialogue.

I thought Baldini did some shady work for them collecting the drug drop - he sort of got himself tied in to working for them again.

Luckylegs Sat 05-May-18 11:25:45

I'm trying very hard to watch it all! I watched 1 and 2 last night and 3 this morning but I might not reach the end before Monday - busy weekend! I realise from up the thread that the husband comes back but I think someone might have to tell me what happens as I couldn't bear not to know the ending if I've not got there, if that makes sense! Please will someone tell me why and where etc and I won't read it before I've got as far as I can and its disappeared! Oh, why didn't I find it earlier?

Sparklefizz Sat 05-May-18 09:53:11

Help! Did I miss something? Where did Mr Baldini get the money to pay off the Glynns?

Cherrytree59 Sat 05-May-18 03:57:57

Just finished watching.
Also binged watched every episode.
Dh came down at about 2am he thought I had fallen asleep on the couch!
Yikes time for bedshock
Looking forward to next series.

It's been extended on iPlayer until Monday, I see.

NanKate Fri 04-May-18 10:05:46

Luckylegs I think you will have to binge watch the series TODAY. ?I don’t think the BBC let you download it unfortunately.

gillybob Fri 04-May-18 10:03:06

Exactly how I saw her too Annie . Brilliantly acted.

Anniebach Fri 04-May-18 10:00:28

I didn't see Faith as a woman who bulldozed her way through people's lives . She is a woman whose secure world collapsed in a very short time

Luckylegs Fri 04-May-18 09:42:33

I'm never going to be able to watch it now before it disappears from iPlayer tonight! Is there anything I can do to 'bank' it?

gillybob Fri 04-May-18 09:28:32

Steve Baldini definitely doesn’t snore Marelli wink

Yes I agree with you there NanKate He’s bloomin’ lush.

merlotgran Fri 04-May-18 09:06:47

Faith reminded me of a character in a drama about a district nurse a few years ago (I think she was called Frankie.) Ego driven and a right pain in the a**e as she bulldozed her way through people's lives. I didn't like that character and I didn't like Faith either.

Great ending though and I will definitely watch the next series.

Anniebach Fri 04-May-18 08:51:17

Terri, in Wales we have rather a lot of Evan’s ?

TerriBull Fri 04-May-18 08:35:49

Yes Evan, heaven knows how I forgot that, Faith spent enough time leaving messages on his mobile along the lines of "Evan when you get this....." followed by a few expletives grin

Anniebach Fri 04-May-18 08:23:20

Evan will have a lot of explaining to do ?

TerriBull Fri 04-May-18 08:11:49

NanKate, I Googled Eve Myles, her absconding tv husband in the series, is her real life husband, hopefully minus the wig grin They have two children, so yes she is a mum in the real world, she certainly played the part very well. Looking forward to the second series, Mr Faith, can't remember the surname, will have some explaining to do!
