ITV - Flesh & Blood

Do not so

Loneliness makes people so strange things sometimes.

Mark is really, really creepy. She would never have fancied him I’m sure.
I think the most likeable character is the wealthy woman who Jake is ‘personal trainer’ for. She gives him good advice, seems very unselfish.

Can’t wait for tomorrow night .......

Nah Vivian’s a drip.

Not here at our house, I should add.

We're sitting waiting for a giant wave

Yes I thought that as well- she’s a card isn’t she? Obvs burned the car

I thought Mary had the tablets lined up to take one after another!

I know a couple of women who have been swept off their feet in later life, only to come a cropper financially.

However, we don't know yet, do we. He may be the victim.

?I thought Mary was going to take the viagra herself, not knowing what it was, well she likes to wear her clothes and use her perfume........

It’s a load of tosh with every lazy cliche going. The mother is a complete idiot who needs a good shake. The house is lovely

Oh, it was viagra, was it.

They bring a new meaning to dysfunctional family.

Oh come on - are we supposed to take this seriously? Did enjoy the theft of the viagra though and the second therapy session - that was comedy gold although not supposed to be I expect. Love the house even more

Thanks...just caught up with episode 1 going to watch 2 very shortly..enjoyed the first episode.

It's on for 4 night running, bikergran

Not going to read the thread as recorded it, will record rest of it. Sounds intriguing.

I really enjoyed it. I was torn between between that and Last Tango. I know the Halifax area well and always enjoy the scenery. By all accounts ,I chose the right one.

I think Rea is playing a retired GP; "this little tablet will help you to relax"
Creepy
I think Mary will be the culprit - but I'm not sure what the crime is yet.

Ah yes I hadn’t thought about that, maybe the online doc and nosy neighbour have conspired to get her money
I’ll look for clues about that tonight. I’ve made a list of characters and am going to make notes tonight!

Storynanny, I wondered if the neighbour was the late husband's mistress? Or does she have a connection to the retired surgeon? I am enjoying it very much.

I hadn't seen the cast list and was surprised to see Francesca Annis. She's 74 and is wearing her age well. Didn't think her character was doddery.

Stephen Rea is 73. Looks as though he dyes his hair.

I think it's great that there are now several parts for actresses in their late 60's and seventies.

Francesca Annis is 74 and looking good in my opinion. Like Calendargirl , it reminded me of Gold Digger.

Yes Urmstongran,I agree with you about the jogging and looking good then. She just seemed to me to come across as, well, doddery, later on. I think it’s because I have seen her playing older type roles lately, i.e. Homefires. She is meant to be coming up for 70 in this, not sure how old she is in RL.
But yes, she is still a glamorous and elegant lady.
Perhaps doddery is not the right word- hesitant, tremulous,unsure of herself- all features of the role she’s playing?

It's not fair is it eazybee. I'm looking forward to tonight's episode.

It was filmed near Eastbourne on the Sussex coast. Love the houses and location.
