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.

OMG I watched the final part last night. I wasn't disappointed but I was very confused and would appreciate a few points clearing up.

Was Faith imagining Evan standing with the children? or was he actually there?
Williams was a bent cop but she wasn't "the" bent cop (is that right?) the bent cop was the guy who interviewed Williams and asked for the recorder to be turned off (and the other hard faced woman with the pony tail??? )
The mother in law was a complete bitch btw.

I'm also madly in love lust with Steve Baldini blush

It was made by BBC Wales and S4C, so in Welsh for S4C then English for BBC Wales

I was amazed to hear that she filmed the series twice, once in Welsh and once in English and she had to learn Welsh for the role.

Anniebach Tue 17-Apr-18 08:56:33

She is a good actress. Yes they filmed in Laughane which is so beautiful, Dylan Thomas lived there and is buried there. Some town shots were Carmarthen and some sea shots were Swansea .

NanKate Tue 17-Apr-18 07:58:03

Yes isn’t she good Anniebach she is a new actress to me ? I had forgotten how beautiful Wales is.

Such a pity she will not be up for a best actress award , bet she will get another Welsh BAFTA though

Thanks Chelseababy for letting us know that Eve Myles was on Woman’s Hour today, I’ve just listened to the interview which was excellent.

Just a heads up to let anyone who lives near Hay-on-Wye that Eve Myles and Matthew Hall (writer) will be talking about the series at the Hay Festival at 1 pm on Friday June 1st - tickets £7.

chelseababy Mon 16-Apr-18 07:20:22

Eve Myles (Faith) is on Woman's Hour this morning.

Oh dear I thought this was a religion thread. Sorry Anniebach but you know how me and the big fella are with each other.

Anyway I’m up to number 5 . Daren't read the whole thread for fear of spiders. Can’t wait for number 6 . I’m speaking / typing in Welsh / Geordie .

Anniebach Thu 12-Apr-18 21:35:55

An excellent series, but it caused me to weep when the children called Faith Mammy, it's what I called my mother even when an adult. Also enjoyed seeing the areas where it was filmed, haven't been to any of them for some time. Look forward to the second series

Glad you found it.

I watch early evening stuff on the laptop, mainly because OH likes the quiz shows - even when they are repeats hmm
Then when he goes upstairs I watch the TV and things on catch up/Sky. I enjoyed Crossing Lines and recorded the first series episodes as they appeared. Was looking at my stored programmes last night, to have a bit of a clear out, and found two episodes have recorded from second series, nice surprise lol.

NanKate Thu 12-Apr-18 16:15:10

I watch most programmes on the IPad and it is an excellent medium as I still get them on HD. I don't watch much on the TV itself, other than Bargain Hunt with DH, but as he hardly ever watches the TV I have carte blanch to choose what I like, which suits me just fine.

So pleased you have found the episode you want Mostlyharmless I was riveted throughout.

mostlyharmless Thu 12-Apr-18 16:05:26

Aha. Now found it on iPlayer on Amazon fire stick! Isn’t technology wonderful? grin

mostlyharmless Thu 12-Apr-18 15:53:26

Thanks jusnoneed. I’ve now found it on the iPad version of iPlayer. Now need to work out how to transfer that to the TV!

Welshwife Thu 12-Apr-18 13:03:53

Also I don’t know the program to use!!,! grin
I would willingly play a fee to watch the programmes legally - as it is I manage to watch or record most things we want to see

jusnoneed Thu 12-Apr-18 12:56:22

Just looked on iplayer via the laptop and all the episodes are there Mostlyharmless. When you so on A-Z and look for Keeping Faith select it and episode 8 is on screen and under it is "more from this programme". Click view full list at the right and all the episodes appear.

When I started watching it I downloaded them from Sky Catch up onto the Sky box.

maryeliza54 Thu 12-Apr-18 12:14:50

I wonder if it’s about performing rights/copyright issues? Anyway if you are watching illegally, there will be a digital footprint somewhere and one day.......?

varian Thu 12-Apr-18 12:11:34

Aparently there are ways, albeit illegal, for people to get access to i-player in other countries. I would have thought the BBC could make a fortune selling access to i-player, but presumably there are international treaties which prevent it.

maryeliza54 Thu 12-Apr-18 11:46:55

And you wouldn’t do that would you WW? ?

Welshwife Thu 12-Apr-18 11:42:39

I cannot get iPlayer in France - you need some sort of download which hides where you really are.

mostlyharmless Thu 12-Apr-18 11:23:30

Thanks nankate. Still can’t find it. Where’s it hiding? I will try again later.

NanKate Thu 12-Apr-18 11:08:57

I have just checked Mostlyharmless and episode 4 is still available on BBC IPlayer. Do try again.
