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.

A good option, especially against the background of what you can see in general.

I wasn`t able to watch the final episode until last night, but what a disappointingly weak ending, wish I hadn`t bothered now. Maybe Charlie Brooks is saving her talents up for her return to Eastenders as Janine?

The amount of info divulged in the prison visit scene, I would have expected Anna to be arrested.

I hope they do a sequel (Calendargirl). In the end it was as bad as it was good!

I enjoyed it. Yes, there were holes in the plot but overall I thought it was ok.

Not quite sure how Anna pulled off the practicalities of the double bluff re the flat and the packing etc. but well done to her!

What if he hadn't conveniently been lying by the pool? She could hardly have managed to drag him through the house.

At the end I was still waiting for something else to happen .... for Liam to appear and to take Anna in his arms? For Ray to say "I'm not gay after all!" (Yes, ok, I've got a vivid imagination smile )

I agree about MiL's brief grieving over her son.

Pity to leave that amazing house , but I’d be off to the UK

Becky probably got off with manslaughter or self defence because he drugged her, hence the short sentence.

If I were Anna, I would be looking over my shoulder in 5 years time (or less for good behaviour), as I think Becky will be out looking for revenge on her release.

I can already envisage the much awaited sequel- ‘Lie With Me, The Revenge’.

Becky was a right Nellie though.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 22:33:36

I dont think she drank all of it, Atqui but with this program you just have to accept a few holes and go with the flow.

Atqui Thu 15-Jul-21 22:22:04

Beckie not nellie

Atqui Thu 15-Jul-21 22:21:41

What was Nellie accused of . She only got 5 years.
Also, Why wasn’t she unconscious after taking the date rape drug

Well you know how MIL's can be fickle, its only the Gchildren they're really interested in. (tongue in cheek!)

I like the gardener too
Grandma seems very jolly considering her wonderful son is dead

Yes I thought that his mother was not unduly upset considering she just lost a son ?

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 22:02:12

Hope Anna is allowed to keep residing in Oz as she was on a Spouse’s Visa, and she ain’t got a spouse no more, cos she’s bumped him off.

BlueBelle Thu 15-Jul-21 22:00:35

I thought it was good and I think Charlie Brooks did ok

lemsip Thu 15-Jul-21 21:58:38

beware all nannies, don't mess about with the husbands!
I enjoyed this.

Ngaio1 Thu 15-Jul-21 21:57:25

Oops. I have found it fascinating. Charlie Brooks is better than I thought. My neighbour and I were discussing today - we are both hooked.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:52:54

Oh yes, I didnt think of that! grin grin

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:52:00

For a while I thought Ray might be the MIL spy. But I'm clearly barking up the wrong tree haha

I'm pleased too BlueBelle

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 21:50:06

Apart from the GHB in the shed, instead of the usual weed killer that most gardeners have.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:48:13

He's the only normal one Millie22

Well I can’t help being pleased at which one has gone
But
Whodunnit ?

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 21:34:38

shock and confused

Patsy429 Thu 15-Jul-21 21:33:10

It's like Neighbours with sex. I worry about the baby - he sleeps such a lot, what a good baby!
