Vigil on bbc1

Oh my goodness, that opening scene! Watched it from behind a cushion!

Can't wait to see how this develops.

Have it in my planner for tonight. Was wondering if it was worth watching. Will watch it tonight.

Gripping I thought!

Got me hooked so far. Great to watch something new and (so far) good.

There is quite a conspiracy brewing, well dramatized, there will be plenty of action and surprises in this series.

Really gripping. Looking forward to tonight's episode.

I really enjoyed this last night and am looking forward to tonight’s episode.

Brilliant stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We both enjoyed it as well. DH doesn't usually like anything that is part of a series but even he said he enjoyed it.

Can anyone explain, please, why mugs of tea are lined with cling film?
Is it something to do with not wasting precious resources like washing up water?

Gripping opening episode.

Thought it was excellent and am looking forward to the second episode this evening. That's Sunday and Monday night's viewing sorted for next couple of weeks.

Excellent programme, and so well filmed that I began to get all sweaty and claustrophobic as they clambered around the confined spaces of the submarine. The cling film is to save spillages I would think Ixion, the sub moved about a surprising amount, plus all those stairs, ladders and squeezed spaces.

i was surprised how much i enjoyed it
being in a confined setting the action was easy to follow though i suspect it will spread out to the girlfriend and the detective on shore now

i thought it was maybe a bit top heavy on female roles last night
the 2 detectives, top brass on the bridge of the sub, the doctor etc
not complaining, they are very good actresses

Ah, I see.
I must try it sometime - well, just the drinking technique!
I fear I might be a really messy drinker. Or do I just slurp?

I thought it was good.

I enjoyed it, really felt the claustrophobic effect as well Gill.

My husband was not impressed with it at all but couldn't give a reason.

OH was a submariner. He will no doubt spoil it by pointing out all the inaccuracies. ?
We will be binge watching it. Our memories are not good enough to wait a week between episodes. ?

I enjoyed it I like Suranne Jones and the other police woman was in GOT and Downton I believe. A shame Martin Compston kicked the bucket in the first 10 mins but I’m assuming he’ll appear in flashbacks looking forward to tonight’s.

Spoiler alert

Oh my I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking apologies

I don't think it's being streamed Esspee

I really enjoyed it, though it did make me feel claustrophobic, would hate to have to live and work in such an enclosed space. Some TV critics have said that the mock-ups of the interior of the sub were not true to life - apparently it is much more cramped in real life ?Hats off to submariner everywhere!

Wow! An excellent drama at last! I felt claustrophobic in the sub, eg. as she lay on the top bunk, and my legs turned to jelly as she was looking down at the sea, about to be winched down.

I would hate the lack of daylight and fresh air, plus I don't liked cramped spaces and am scared of the sea!! (So not an ideal submariner!!) Won't be watching it before bedtime as I'd probably have nightmares.

Can't wait for episode 2.

Some of our top class actors in it.
I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the next episode.
