The Responder

Discodancer there are no adverts on iPlayer because it’s BBC. There are adverts on the others such as ITVHub though.

It has its own dark humour- the policeman having to record all those garden gnomes!
Yes, with all that's going on! ???
Garden gnomes are quite often stolen and sometimes they'd appear on social media on trips to far flung locations

I'm loving this. It has its own dark humour- the policeman having to record all those garden gnomes! It also shows that people are not just one sided- the drug dealer's daughter saying "Goodnight Uncle..." to the two heavies and them answering her was brilliant. So well written and so well acted.

I record, it’s easy then to go to my list of recordings, never watch on the iPad.

I binge watched this and enjoyed it. The ending had a slight twist and was very satisfactory, which so often isn't the case in these drama series.

We record things - it’s just an easy click of a button to record a whole series, you can skip the adverts if it’s on a commercial channel and also get guaranteed subtitles (not always available from iplayer etc).

I do cast things if I forget to record them, or decide later that I want to watch them.

Record everything...totally convenient. Too many adverts on i players

This programme is on BBC so no adverts though. Plus you can watch iPlayer on your television. And ITVHub, More4, and My5, all on your television, no need for an iPad, although you can watch on there as well.

We have the subtitles on too. Why do they always mumble. Whatever happened to Enunciation ,

They're mumbling into each others' shoulders and the accent is difficult to follow too, particularly the two young people (whoever they are supposed to be; I have no idea as I didn't concentrate during the first episode.

Were enjoying it much more now. After the first episode we weren’t sure, but hooked now. Only trouble is that The Teacher started on Channel 5 tonight, so we’ll have to watch that later on My5.

I don’t record things maddy but friends do because they don’t have iPads etc or they can see it better on the tv than a phone or iPad

Just out of interest, do people still record things on television? It’s available on iPlayer so why would anyone record it?

If it's an ITV programme then you can't zip through the adverts on catch-up but you can if it's recorded.

I’m watching tonight’s now and it’s so tense., I’m so nervous for him p, my stomach is tied in knots. I’m glad I’m not the only one watching it weekly. Thanks Urmstongran for not saying anything till it’s over but remember please, people record episodes and might not watch immediately!

Luckylegs and others - don't wait until next week, I think it's being screened from Monday - Wednesday this week.

I did watch tonight. but we had to put subtitles on

I ve watched it tonight and have really warmed to it I thought it was really good tonight and enjoyed the acting and the twists and turns
Luckylegs if I hadn’t watched it I wouldn’t go on a thread about it, surely that makes more sense than expecting everyone must be so tight lipped and not discuss the ups and downs as we go along

I am watching weekly too lucky so hope there us no spoiler. Goodness it was tense tonight.

We watch weekly too Luckylegs (in about 8 minutes).
Never binge watched anything.

I won’t ask my question Luckylegs until you give me the green light!
Come back on though, don’t forget, & tell me when it’s safe to do so!
?

No I am the same as you Luckylegs.

I’m watching it as it comes on TV each week so can I ask please don’t anyone ask anything about the plot until everyone has had a chance to watch it! Even if you put SPOILER ALERT!!! Why I should have to ask this defeats me. Am I the only person who doesn’t binge watch all the episodes but am just happy to wait for the weekly programme FGS?

We watched half of the first episode, and gave up. It may have got better, but couldn’t stand the constant swearing, and aggressiveness, and there was nothing going on, except he was obviously a bent copper. I felt as though I’d been battered.

Martin Freeman is usually so good. Sorry Martin....not in this.

I’ve decided to watch Munich this evening. I need a bit of light relief after episode 1 of the responder. I’ll toughen up by tomorrow
