New drama Life

Can’t stand the woman with the lip fillers

And here was me thinking, ‘Poor thing, having such awful thick lips!’

?

I couldn’t agree more about the casting of Adrian Lester

Yes - those lip fillers are a bit much. Looks like she’s been stung by a bee! I’m loving “Life” and have just watched episode 5 on iPlayer so still have the finale to watch. I love it - some great acting by Alison Steadman (always love her) and Peter Davison and several of the others characters. Elaine Paige - never seen her in a drama before - not bad acting! Some very discordant people and relationships in that block of apartments! David (Adrian Lester) was seduced by bee sting lips when he was at a very low ebb - she pretty much threw herself at him! He could’ve resisted - but didn’t. Love the music - pretty heavy, but atmospheric. I think i’ve probably worked out how it will all end for the characters in Life!

I enjoyed it BUT was really disappointed that the writers didnt research Pancreatic cancer fully. My husband died from the disease 13 years ago this week and 6 months before he certainly wasnt drinking wine and eating birthday cake.

Other than that I thought it was very good

Which one had the lip fillers? I can’t think of them now.

Awww, I remember, the Amy Winehouse lookalike was it?

Which one was Elaine Paige? So sad when Gail packed her new clothes away in a box.... I just thought “ yes you’ ll be put back in yours by your husband “ . If only she’d left him earlier , but who am I to talk! Let’s hope she can spread her wings when he’s gone.

Yes: Belle was my favourite too.

She is good isn’t she?
In my mind’s eye though I still see her as the Queen Mum in the firs two series of The Crown! Hear hear to the praise for the music.
I think this is definite Box Set material to enjoy again and again.
(I shall never see Peter Davison in the same light. again though. He was lovely as Tristan Farnon, even as Dr Who. What do you mean he was only acting?)

I’ve never seen The Crown. Belles was the only storyline that was plausible I think. I got confused though cause I was talking tv with my cousin and he said Belle was his favourite character but we were both watching Ghosts at the same time and I thought he meant Belle from Ghosts. I like it when a character that you don’t warm to at first becomes your favourite at the end.

The storylines weren't very plausible and I agree it was cliched - but I have to admit I found it entertaining.

Which is a Elaine Paige ?

She is ‘Helen’ who the poorly husband had the affair with BlueBelle.

Just watched the final episode.
Thought the whole series was nothing special.
Surely there won’t be a follow up?
