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 think it was the best series on tv this year IMO.

I bet you will feel a bit tired today Marelli but well worth it.

Just finished watching the last episode (1.18am). Brilliant. DH snoring away at my side.....(bet Mr Baldini doesn’t snore like that)?. Can’t wait for series 2.

Fair point Merlot

She might be loving but leaving them with any Tom Dick or Harry while going off at a moment's notice?

Terrifying the poor baby by driving into the Badlands and being accosted by violent teenagers?

hmm

NanKate Thu 03-May-18 21:21:10

I think she is lovely Merlot and I wonder if she is a mum in real life, she is so loving to the children.

Now Gillybob you can relax I am sure on good authority that Steve Baldini will be back in all his glory in series 2. A chap I rather fancy is the taxi driver in The Durrells. I wonder if he and Mrs D will get it together in the last episode ?

merlotgran Thu 03-May-18 20:39:01

I have one more ep to go.

She's not exactly Mother of the Year is she? grin

gillybob Thu 03-May-18 14:33:35

Oh I do hope "Steve Baldini" will be in the next series.

He will be won't he? hmm

I sparked a family panic yesterday thanks to spending five hours on iPlayer.

DD2 had an article published in a magazine and was looking forward to my proud mummy comments. shock blush I forgot all about checking my e-mails.

Apparently I'm NEVER off line for that length of time blush so she contacted DD1 who lives next door to check we were OK. grin

So in future if I fall over and knock myself out she'll probably think nothing of it!!

I've been binge watching today as DH went fishing and it was too wet to be outside in the garden.

That's my excuse grin

Unfair she will not get mentioned come the TV BAFTA's , she will get another Welsh BAFTA though.

Pittcity Wed 02-May-18 08:40:41

Eve Myles is on BBC Breakfast this morning because Keeping Faith has broken iPlayer records.

Anniebach Sun 29-Apr-18 14:00:19

BBC Wales has said a second series is now being written ?

tanith Sun 29-Apr-18 12:29:43

That’s good news I really enjoyed it.

TerriBull Sun 29-Apr-18 12:28:49

Of course, what with her husband turning up at the end of the final episode, it very much left the viewer up in the air, so I suspected another series would hopefully follow.

TerriBull Sun 29-Apr-18 12:26:44

Good news for all us "Keeping Faith" fans according to the Sunday Times another series has been commissioned. It's been an outstanding success via IPlayer, some 8 million viewers. We stumbled on it by chance in our house and binged on all 8 episodes over a few nights. I can't understand why it wasn't rolled out nationwide in the first place, so much better than some of the programmes that come with massive hype, for example "Collateral" with Carey Mulligan which left me very underwhelmed.

The article went on to say that although Faith's life implodes, nevertheless the audience were captivated by her open plan kitchen and scented candles. I quite liked her vertiginous black heels that she was prone to kick off at the drop of a hat grin not to mention the beautiful Welsh settings....AND the yellow mack is now as coveted as Sarah Lund's jumper was when it featured in the Scandi drama "The Killing"

Glad you liked it too Mostlyharmless.

I think you need to explain yourself Gillybob. Poor SB looks rather worn out ?

mostlyharmless Thu 19-Apr-18 07:46:00

Just finished watching it. What a brilliant drama.
Eve Myles is outstanding.
Thanks nankate for recommending it.

gillybob Thu 19-Apr-18 06:28:45

Haven’t slept a wink grin

NanKate Thu 19-Apr-18 06:25:58

Apologies to Steve Baldini I didn’t realise he was ‘pure muscle’ you obviously know him a little more intimately than I do. ?

Nelliemoser Wed 18-Apr-18 23:18:23

Luckygirl I have also just finished binge watching this on I player . I was well and truly hooked.

I really enjoyed

gillybob Wed 18-Apr-18 22:53:11

Yes maryeliza54 I think you’ve got it spot on !

He’s not a “porker” at all NanKate that’s pure muscle.

Oh dear I really need to sleep tonight. wink

maryeliza54 Wed 18-Apr-18 22:47:29

There’s an animal magnetism and a suspicion that he would be extremely good in bed

NanKate Wed 18-Apr-18 22:09:03

I can't quite see what you find so attractive in Steve Baldini, he is a bit porkie for me and I am sure he would say the same about me. ?

NanKate Wed 18-Apr-18 22:05:47

Now calm down Gillybob or you won't sleep tonight ?

Yes I think her husband had returned and was standing with the children. Hadn't he been in some covert operation ?

I think the hard faced police woman was far from perfect but she did help Faith in the end. The male interviewer was the baddie.

I wish I had had a baby as good as the one Faith carries around with her and he is so undemanding.

IMO it is the best series so far this year and I can't wait for series two.

gillybob Wed 18-Apr-18 13:22:06

There HAS to be another series!
