Annika

I totally agree, I was disappointed too. It seemed a bit ‘comedic’ in parts, all that talking to the camera business. She also seemed to be playing a ‘typecast role’…….prickly cop, single mother, troubled teenager.

My husband thought it was great but the jury’s still out with me.

What’s Alibi?

It’s one of the ‘free view’ channels.

It’s a follow on from a wonderful Radio 4 series in which she alone tells the story, so they’ve kept the talking to camera as Nicola does such a brilliant job on her own. Originally based in one of the Nordic countries, if you can find it on catch up you may warm to the tv version.

Well I m on freeview so any idea of the channel numbe grandma I ve never noticed that name ?

Apologies, it’s one of the Sky / Virgin channels so paid for……?

Sorry Bluebelle, Alibi is not on freeview, it’s on Sky, Virgin, etc.

I may be wrong, but I don't think it's on Freeview Bluebelle. It's a Sky channel.

Crossed post!

We recorded it, thinking as Nicola Walker was in it it would be good. We really enjoyed Unforgotten. As always she played her part well, though I didn’t care for the talking to the camera, but it was very disappointing overall and I was surprised she accepted the role, I agree it seemed a real step down. Have only watched the first episode but don’t think we’ll bother with the rest.

Ahh well that’s me gone I don’t have sky

Has anyway dealt with carpet moths? How do I get rid of them before I replace the carpet?? Never encountered them before

Sorry I can’t help with this one but if you start a new thread under House and Home you will get more attention .

I watched it. I thought it was daft.

Why is it a step down? Why are posters surprised she accepted the role? She's an actress, isn't she? Nicola Walker obviously thought differently. I watched it and enjoyed it. The whole story in one episode. I am looking forward to the others.

Like Rosycheeks, I think Nicola Walker being in a programme means it's worth a watch.
I wasn't overly enthusiastic with episode 1, but I'm recording the series, so I may watch the rest. These things often take a while to bed in.

The Annika Stranded series is currently available on BBC sounds. 4 series in total I think. Maybe this is something that's better on audio than visual?
