Unforgotten.

My GD and I binge watched the previous series, usually two episodes each evening, over the last couple of weeks.
We are recording this series so that we can do the same thing when this series finishes.
We also watched a series called Collateral which was new to us.
Nicola Walker played a lesbian priest in that, the same misery/ attitude/ hesitant speech.
I still find her eminently watchable though.

I think Nicola Walker has cornered the market for playing parts in that way. She is the same in Last Tango in Halifax. Really good actress though.

My memory is so bad that I look up the previous episodes before switching on the latest. The fact that two of the women look very alike foxes me.

Really good! Brings in all the home lives too without over exaggerating.

I love this series it's probably the only one at the moment I'm watching avidly via one of the mainstream channels. I like the pairing of the two leads, Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar. I wasn't pleased on Monday evening when it was shifted to make way for that other rubbish programme.

Unlike some tv series Unforgotten is getting better, last night’s belated episode was very good.

I always enjoy Unforgotten. Good ending to last night's episode. I shan't say what in case some haven't watched it yet. Looking forward to next week.

Well worh going to the first episodes we are watching on Netflix and really enjoying them .

Urmston that would not be difficult! At least we have something to look forward to and we want to watch.

I didn’t bother with the back story just jumped in on this series but it’s understandable, even without doing so. I think tv watching tonight will be more entertaining than last night!

I finished the previous series last night. I missed it first time around, so wasn’t up to speed on why she was on long term sick leave. It’s a great series, emotionally intelligent and compassionate. 30 years of working on the edges, not losing your moral compass or ability to empathise is impressive. No wonder she eventually fell apart a bit

It’s on TONIGHT folks!

If the start of the new series is the same as the others, there’s a pram outside a building, which you’ll miss if you blink, which was my children’s pram. I advertised it on eBay and it was bought for that purpose. I had been hoping it would be used for a longer part in the series!!

Juliet this is brilliant!
Did you see my 'Rubbish Claims to Fame' thread? (Not that this is rubbish, far from it!)
We ended up doing a secret vote for the best one via PM.
You would definitely have made the shortlist.
Riverwalk was the runaway winner due to her connection to the donkey from The Durrells.

Yes Jane, she hasn’t had that partner before, (Monarch Of The Glen, was he called Jamie in that?)

She was divorced/widowed with a son.

They started their relationship in the last series. The one where the GP was the serial killer.

I foolishly decided to watch episode 1 of an earlier series of Unforgotten, immediately before last nights episode of the current series. I won’t do that again, I was confusing bodies and suspects

I found a couple of the characters looked really similar. I kept asking is that the wife of the One accused of interfering with that woman or is she the one applying for promotion.

I’m glad it’s not just me! I’m a bit face-blind to start with, but this is really challenging. Though at least I noticed last week that the body was missing its head and extremities, which somehow passed DH by.

It's on ITV lovetopaint. We record and watch later so we can skip the ads.

Here’s another one who struggled with working out who was who and what was what I kept thinking did I fall asleep last week ......who’s that ? I might have to start again on iPad

Urmstongran I too found tonight’s episode difficult to sort out. Even my dh who is able to follow the most complex scripts was confused. I found a couple of the characters looked really similar. I kept asking is that the wife of the One accused of interfering with that woman or is she the one applying for promotion. What exactly did that group of graduated police offers do all those years ago. Someone died but how did it happen. Like you we decided we had better watch the series on BBC I Player.

Thanks Jane43 for that bit of background.

So, the victim’s head, hands and feet are missing. I need to remember that much at least next Monday!

Urmstongran

Took me a while to recall who was who tonight!
Obviously why I like my drama series on consecutive nights.

Me too Urmstongran I do find it difficult when I have to wait a week between episodes.

Last week I decided to watch the previous series. The man Cassie is living with now is a police officer from a different force who helped them in an enquiry which happened outside their area. He asked Cassie out a few times but she decided not to pursue the relationship because she was so stressed about the enquiry she was carrying out and deleted him from her phone but right at the end he was with her and Sunny laying flowers at the grave of the victim. Cassie also has two sons, in the last series one was studying in the USA and the other was at college, in this series one of them is living at home.

Bluebell think you're right.

Thought all the other series were brilliant.

Loved Nicola Walker in Spooks and The Spit.
