Just started watching this new 4 night drama on Channel 5.

I’m only at the first ad break, but already think it’s following in the footsteps of sooooooo many other four night dramas.

Not much else on though.

Namsnanny Mon 12-Jul-21 21:33:25

Yep, so far so yawn. Might pick up though.

Calendargirl Mon 12-Jul-21 21:59:01

Oh, it’s perked up a bit.

I didn’t trust the husband, and guessed the nanny wasn’t as sugary sweet as she appeared.

Namsnanny Mon 12-Jul-21 22:21:53

Yes, I'm interested to watch to the end, but it irritates me as well!
All the women are stereotypical. The unstable one, the sexy one and the interfering one.

Still as you say there isnt much choice.

Not bsd I think it has potential (best drama we ve had for a couple of weeks or more) ???

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 00:10:37

Yes has potential BlueBelle. Plus we can look at the gorgeous Aussi countryside.

Compared to other offerings recently it seems watchable. I was on to the nanny straight away then wondered if I had jumped the gun!

I did like her red bra though. I’ve been looking for something like that but could only find ones costing silly money.

BigBertha1 Tue 13-Jul-21 06:16:43

I took myself off to bed half way.

Calendargirl Tue 13-Jul-21 07:03:26

I’m sure her bra wasn’t cheap. The knickers soon came off.

Gingster Tue 13-Jul-21 07:22:05

Yes it’s ok up til now. I’ll stick with it!

BlueBelle Tue 13-Jul-21 07:29:28

I didn’t notice the bra I was just envying that beautifully flat stomach I can believe food ever passes her lips

BlueBelle Tue 13-Jul-21 07:30:10

Can’t not can SIGH oh for an edit button

TerriBull Tue 13-Jul-21 07:56:10

Put it on and promptly fell asleep, but will try and catch up later, it's not as if there is a lot on the telly to watch right now.

Charleygirl5 Tue 13-Jul-21 10:08:01

It definitely picked up towards the end. I will watch it tonight and then make up my mind. I have no objection to an early night.

So if you thought youe husband was cheating and you saw him leave work with his PA what would you do? Well at least follow him and find out where they go. Then a few photos with your phone might be a good idea. There's so many holes in this it's practically a sieve!

I like a series on consecutive nights. This one is ok, not marvellous, but watchable.

Calendargirl Tue 13-Jul-21 11:32:58

When does the wife do any work? She’s either on her mobile or nipping out to spy on the husband. Can’t be her lunch hour surely as she and taxi man Ron seem to be staking hubby out for quite a while.

Think the new boss will soon notice that her mind is not very focused on her work.

GillT57 Tue 13-Jul-21 11:34:12

Yes, I agree, not marvellous, but watchable. I did find myself shouting questions at the TV though; how was she able to prowl around in the taxi during work hours, did her new employers not notice her absence? Why have a new nanny arrive within ten minutes of you going off to start a new job?

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 11:35:33

Yes trisher so many holes its practically a sieve
The writers are expecting us to swallow a lot!

Hussey - red bra!!

The actor who plays the husband seems a bit wooden though?

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 11:36:15

Oh, perhaps I should have re worded that last sentenceblush

Calendargirl Tue 13-Jul-21 11:45:07

And when the new nanny started helping with the children’s breakfasts, (not very successfully), never washed her hands before handling any food, after travelling from goodness knows where.

Should have arrived the night before, to get acquainted with everything before Mum set off for her new job.

Oh well.

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 11:52:10

And she wanders off at any opportunity leaving children unattended.
Of course I could give the writers the benefit of the doubt, and say they are leaving us crumbs of info.
So they can lull us into a false sence of security?

GrandmaTrisha Tue 13-Jul-21 19:55:05

Just watched last night’s episode. I thought it was very corny and Charlie Brooks’ acting is absolutely awful!

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 21:16:10

But so is Brett Tucker.

Calendargirl Tue 13-Jul-21 21:36:32

Whose body will it be that they are discussing at the start?

I think it will be the husband- it ought to be, he’s a right so and so.

What’s going on with the wife’s job? Why do the other staff members keep giving her funny looks?
