Gold Digger

Miaow Sparklefizz....

I was thinking exactly the same thing. She's nice-looking and I'm sure she scrubs up well.

I just think she should like she's made a bit of an effort. Her hair is (usually) all over the place and, yes, she has lots of wrinkles. I haven't seen her in anything else so I'm wondering whether the cameras are deliberately making her look more wrinkled to fit some stereotypical view of a 60-year-old woman.

And I don't know if this is just me, but I'm finding the casual references to her age a bit OTT. In fact, I'm finding the casual ageism vibe somewhat tedious and predictable.

I'm being a bit sensitive as I've just turned 60 myself and in good shape with a distinct lack of wrinkles. As are most women my age I know.

I wondered if the Make Up Dept had added wrinkles and lines Sparklefizz to age her?

I watched 2 episodes and then had to binge watch the rest because I was totally hooked!!

I thought her hair was lovely - wish I could grow mine that long and have so much of it! Googled her this morning to see how old she really is, and was surprised to find that she is only 54 as she has more lines than I do and I am much older.... .

It’s good we’re all different, isn’t it?! I love the mother’s hair (the daughter’s not so much ) and I think she’s very attractive, wrinkles and all. I too have house envy, Jane43 - gorgeous place!
Funnily enough, suziewoozie, I too binge watched in bed yesterday as I have a heavy cold / achey /headache. Interesting ending. Definitely worth watching.

People cooking with hair everywhere is not a good look neither is it a hygienic one!
So many women have the same hairstyle that it is at times difficult to know who is who.

Don't get me started on current hairstyles. They are just awful. Everyone looks like they've just got out of bed. I keep wanting to take a pair of straighteners to them just to get the kinks out. And even worse, many of them look like they've been cut with a pair of shears.

Started watching this last night and am hooked!!! I will be binge watching as i cant wait to find out what happens. How comes that both main lady characters have such horrible untidy hair. To me it is not an attractive look. The daughter looks like she has just got out of bed and the mother, well, all that hair whilst cooking eww!!! We always have to knitpick dont we!!! lol

I was not very well so binge watched in bed. I will say no more until it’s all been aired.

I am enjoying this and I have watched three episodes so I will so no more other than it’s nice to have a watchable drama that’s not challenging my brain cells too much. I also have serious house envy and it’s not the only one she owns either.

good things....her bottom is quite large and she has wrinkles...bad things they are all multi millionaires and she has long hair.

(shallow I know)

Hope it has a happy ending like all fairy stories. ?

Liz46 if you have binge watched it with just one episode to go and see hoping for a twist at the end, then you have just told us that there hasn't been a twist so far.

Good point chestnut !!!

This thread is for people watching it weekly! No spoilers please.

We are binge watching and have just one more to watch. I hope it has a good twist at the end.

I thought it was a bit predictable too.
I think (hope) it will have a bit of a twist to it so I stick with it for the foreseeable.
Another story about a toy boy (girl) fleecing a gullible lover (male or female) and the selfish children fighting to keep their inheritance, I can live without.

I've just watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. I will probably end up binge watching as it's all on iPlayer. Looking good.

I'm in!

In my head I keep seeing Julia Ormond in Legends of The Fall with Brad Pitt, she was/is gorgeous, well they both were (are)!

Chestnut I also get cross when the "Next time" clip at the end gives away half the flipping story, so I quickly switch off. I'm not binge watching Gold Digger so no spoilers please or otherwise alert us more measured viewers please

I really don't like the 'forward flash' given at the start of many series. You see a dramatic scene about which you know nothing, and then we go back a year and see the full story.
I hate it! Just give me the story from start to finish with no spoilers! I always cut out the 'coming next week' bit at the end too.

Oh gulligranny - keep us posted

Yes I enjoyed it too, so much more to come. I liked the way the son got sent for more champagne, I bet he felt like punching him in the face

I thought it was really good, very well acted by all concerned and all too believable. Ben Barnes is gorgeous and just my idea of a perfect toyboy. In which case, although neither glamorous, wealthy and no longer anywhere near 60, I'm considering hanging around the British Museum in hope ....

I got myself all ready to watch it snuggled on the sofa and went to sleep throughout it so will have to catch up during one afternoon when wide awake.

Has he "targeted" her though, do we know that for sure.
Of course I suspect him but wouldn't it be a good twist to find her children are wrong about him. If so why then did she run.
Looking forward to next week.

I didn't think she looked anywhere near 60 though!
Probably because she's only 54 in real life, but then the movies have always been good at creating an illusion.
