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.

I noticed that too Calendergirl.

Do you think it will be a case of the girls ganging up on Jake then?

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 21:47:14

I think its the script letting them down.

BlueBelle Tue 13-Jul-21 21:49:34

I think it’s really good and I think Charlie Brooks acting is fine it’s keeping me on my toes anyway
I m thoroughly enjoying it

Seems to be jumping from one thing to another. The holiday home, then suddenly back at the office, then taxi man Ray driving her home unexpectedly.

The husband and the nanny seem to like risky sex. How long does Anna go running for in the mornings? Are they not worried that she might get a bad stitch and cut her run really short, returning early to find them in bed together?

Roll on tomorrow’s episode.

It’s fiction Calandergirl ???

Namsnanny Tue 13-Jul-21 22:54:01

Yes BlueBelle, but it has to have the ring of truth about it, or it doesnt gel.

Had the nanny already visited the " holiday cottage" as there was some to-do about the key?

He can't be getting rid of Anna because of the money as he isn't short of a bob or two. Must be the red knickers.

I do wonder if it's possible to have a secret bondage room in a house without being aware of it.

I would love to live in a house which never needs to be cleaned.
The people in Anna's office are giving her odd looks because around four months ago a few people were made redundant and then she appears and there does not appear to be much work for her.
I have never had a job where I could swan off as I fancied, There are many holes but it is still watchable.

I thought he wanted rid of Anna so he could keep the kids and play Happy Families with the nanny. Don't think he realises that's a completely different game to the ones he has been playing.

I think the job has been set up by the husband to keep her out of the way and the bosses don’t care if she is out of the office as the work she is doing is superfluous as the company she is designing for have not commissioned anything. More to the point is how he is able to swan off every afternoon when he has a legit job in a law firm.

Sparklefizz Wed 14-Jul-21 14:51:39

He's gaslighting her. I hate him and find myself saying "B***ard" to the TV set every so often.

Lots of holes in the storyline but I'm still enjoying it.

BlueBelle Wed 14-Jul-21 15:17:04

sparklefizz I feel the same I m definitely enjoying it Warts and all and I m taking (did I say talking) to the screen

Calendargirl Wed 14-Jul-21 21:34:31

I’m starting to think Anna is playing a cunning game.

I think she will end up co-ercing Becky into killing the husband, getting her accused of murder, leaving her, Anna, with custody of the children and able to return to the UK.

Oh, and taking Ray the taxi driver with her as chauffeur!

Atqui Wed 14-Jul-21 22:38:37

Or the gardener?

LullyDully Thu 15-Jul-21 07:50:22

Or stay in the rather nice house which seems to stay so pristine with little or no effort.

Shirlb Thu 15-Jul-21 12:12:02

One of those things so bad but got to watch it ??

esgt1967 Thu 15-Jul-21 12:14:05

Have watched 2 episodes now and I agree there are very many holes in the plot and some of the dialogue is awful but I am rather enjoying it.

Haven't worked out yet if the "deceased" mentioned in the opening is the husband or wife - I suspect it will be the husband but you just never know......

sarahcyn Thu 15-Jul-21 12:35:32

This series sounds so awful I'm going to have to watch it!!!

Stella14 Thu 15-Jul-21 12:57:35

I think it’s very good

Alioop Thu 15-Jul-21 13:21:04

I am about to watch the 3rd episode this afternoon and looking forward to it. It's lucky I live alone, cos he's a dirty dog and it has shouting at the telly like a mad woman. Sad I know grin

RosesAreRed21 Thu 15-Jul-21 13:21:08

Yes I agree but I’m enjoying it

inishowen Thu 15-Jul-21 13:53:44

The wife's job was a set up. Staff give her funny looks because they know she has no real work to do. That's why she swans off when she feels like it.

Nanny27 Thu 15-Jul-21 14:27:49

I'm loving it. I agree it began badly and I was all set to abandon it after episode 1 but it has definitely picked up and I can't wait for the final one tonight.

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 14:30:45

The ending will be far-fetched and a let down, I’m sure, but still quite looking forward to it.

Gabrielle56 Thu 15-Jul-21 14:50:09

Clunky.dreadful script.they just d,not appear to be comfortable in such a large home? Best acting? Daughter! Love her sham messing with the plug! Husband and wife mismatch.... cannot be bothered going on. Deleted from planner....
