Phillip Jackson who plays Mickey Sparrow has a very authentic accent too, I think.

Yes, he has.

I realise that locals will spot the good and bad accents, but I can't say that I can.

I wonder if there will be another twist before the end? It crossed my mind that Gary might have been in on the spying. nobody would suspect him, as an NUM member. Purely a guess though.

I keep waiting for the ad breaks and I am always pleasantly surprised.

Good to see something so watchable on for a change.

Perry Fitzpatrick who plays Rory Sparrow has an authentic accent as I believe he’s from Nottinghamshire.

I’ve watched three episodes so far and am enjoying it; excellent cast and acting is superb.

Really good story lines. How good to have a drama without ad breaks to disrupt the tension.
Are there really only two more episodes? And it's not the sort of thing to have a sequel either I suppose A standalone gem.

By golly this is good! So many familiar faces. They really have a stellar cast but a drama this good deserves one. Can't wait for the next episode.

I'm really enjoying this. So many real actors and an intriguing story line, facts of the past blending cleverly with the fiction of the present.
I like Lindsay Duncan. Was she in GBH with Robert Lindsay years ago? Or am I confused ? ? That was a great series too.

This is the best drama I have seen for some years. Great acting performances by a stellar cast.

That was really good, wasn't it?

Another twist I didn't see coming.

. Didn't Stephen Tomkinson look different!

He looked so different I didn't recognise him until DH said he played the vet in the series set in Africa. Amanda Holden played his wife!

Brilliant drama. Thought the two sisters were excellent. Great story lines and fantastic acting. Didn't Stephen Tomkinson look different!

Last night's episode ? Brilliant.

And does no one notice the bow and arrow chap whizzing about on his bike?

Has he not got a shelter in the woods?
What is he eating, drinking?
Where are the sniffer dogs?

I found the sisters talking through the wall to be a poignant metaphor for their divided life.
Anyone else think the butler did it? (Downton reference.)

I thought it was quite Shakespearean!

I prefer to watch things like this on iPlayer, so that I can rewind when I think I've missed something .

I'm away from broadband just now, so just have Freeview and have to watch live.

Thanks Jane

I think I dozed off for a vital few minutes, which is why I missed relevant bits!

Best series on TV at the moment. But last night,s episode took a bit of sorting out who was who and felt it moved too quickly for me. But cannot wait to watch this tonight.

^It's gone now but the old Groby Road Hospital reception desk and a lot of the nurses who worked there^

Did you work there Yammy? My brother has just spent 4 months in the latest version of that hospital.

No I didn't live in the hospital Kitty but my husband did. We were given the old lodge house as married quarters and I had to go to the reception whenever there was a problem.
I hope your brother is much better now.

Calendargirl the visiting police officer found out that Neil’s father had signed for the parcel at the end of last night’s episode and when the police contacted Neil in the car to call him in to update him on developments his father realised he had been found out and that’s why he ran off.

The visiting gang weren’t welcome because of historic animosity between striking miners and miners who resisted the strike. The visitors were members of the striking union and most of the village ex miners were members of the break away union that worked throughout the strike. Gary was an exception as he was a striking miner but seemed to have been accepted in the community although he was obviously disliked by some people.

I agree it was a bit odd that the boy was able to ride around undetected but I suppose he knew the routes to take where he could be concealed for a lot of the time.

Didn’t Andy sign for delivery of the spade? Surely that will be traced back to him, and he denied accepting delivery?

I found last night’s episode a bit of a muddle. I thought the Stephen Tomkinson gang were mates of Gary, but they didn’t seem welcome.

I too have often been called ‘mi duck’!
