Blood.

I think the father knew that Cat was going to be like a dog with a bone until she got at the truth so inviting the odious Frank to the funeral was, he hoped, a way of getting her to go back to Dublin ASAP.

I assume the death certificate stated that death was caused by an injury due to falling but I don't remember that bit. Everyone was told that she fell at the side of the pond.

I felt so sorry for Barry. If Cat hadn't dragged him into her battle he wouldn't have committed suicide but then he would have done anything for her.

How very strange I wrote on here after Niggley but the post has totally disappeared
This was an excellent drama I missed the start as I was away from uk for a few days but my friend told me about it and I watched it on my iPad and from the first ten minutes I was hooked
Really great production very good writing and good strong acting and so very sad I was in tears at the ending

Ch5 has gone up in my estimation. Hope they have more dramas as good as this.

I thought the cameo role of the old patient with dementia/confusion was wonderfully acted.

Yes, Nan a nice touch. I really enjoyed this drama although slightly depressing. Nuanced and subtle performances, three dimensional characters.

I wondered about the death certificate as well, but I think one of the themes was the corruption and cronyism in small town Ireland. I don't know how true that is but I think there is a real idea that. this happens.

I recorded Blood and watched the whole thing yesterday.
It was exceptionally good, I thought, from start to finish.
Better than the average tv drama, and marvellous performances from the actors. These dramas often have a poor ending, but not this one. It was very moving.

I agree NanKate C5 are definitely on the up.
I thought Uncle Frank was truly awful as well. A good drama.

henetha....Respect, that was one serious binge.

Good drama, well acted. I still don't think it was right that everyone thought Cat was a liar for all those years, not a nice thing for a father to do. I'm sad it's over though.

I thought it was brilliant! I have binge-watched over 2 days while recovering from nasty dental treatment and it has been an excellent drama, well-written and well-acted with plenty of twists I never saw coming .... and very distracting from dental face-ache etc.

Yes i binge watched too Sparkle sometimes it’s better like that as I sometimes forget some details from one week to the next

Did I see that blood is starting on channel 5 again? Is that a repeat....or new series? Or am I imagining I heard it?

or was I watching a recorded programme ( the knee replacement....which given I will need one made my toes curl) and the blood announcement came on in the ads. Sadly I don’t know how to skip them.

I thought this was a really good drama, but kind of suspected that Cat's father wasn't going to turn out the baddie after all, BUT he still treated wife shabbily with girlfriend, and also treated girlfriend badly, and where did the nasty Frank and gun fit in? Why did the doctor have a hand gun anyway? Surely the family would have known about Frank beforehand? A few anomalies I think.

Oh I really enjoyed it, thanks Merlot for mentioning it here, or I would have missed it.

I binge watched over last 2 days, more like that please C5.

Just watched the last episode and was moved to tears.
A lot of small unexplained niggles but overall an excellent watch.

DH and I have binge-watched over the weekend and we were gripped by this wonderfully well acted drama, Adrian Dunbar was outstanding and Ch5 has to be congratulated for airing something with such a controversial theme.

After reading all the positive comments about BLOOD, I thought I would watch the first episode while doing the ironing this morning.
No luck, CH5 catch up seems to only offer Part 5? ( last part)
Does any clever person know how I can get the whole series please?

Hi Auntieflo I just checked on the internet and all episodes are on the channel five website, you have to sign up for a My5 Account but it's free. You can watch them all online, not as good as watching on a TV I know but thought it might help. You have to scroll down to the bottom of the page as it just comes up with episode 5 first of all. Haven't tried it myself and it might only work on certain computers/tablets but hope it helps.

Thanks Karanlouise, I'll have a go and see if it works.
