I really enjoyed it such a good cast of amazing actors.

I live in the East Midlands and I thought “ mi duck” would be heard, not just duck.
I agree that not all accents were quite right.
I haven’t quite sorted out who’s who.
Having said all that, I enjoyed it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. However, as an ex-East Midlander the accents weren’t right at all so why do TV programmers think everyone north of Watford speaks with a Yorkshire accent!!! I have cousins who were miners in Notts during that time. They were in different Unions and to this day still don’t speak to each other.

I agree that there were a lot of characters to work out but I will stick with it. As someone originally from the East Midlands I felt the only one to get the accent correct was Joanne Frogatt. The use of the word duck did grate on me even though it is common in those parts.

Yes, it was ‘spot the actor’ wasn’t it? Felt a bit muddled over who was who, and what part they had in the drama, but it became clearer by the end. Thought at first David Morrissey and ‘Mrs Lewis’ were the bride’s parents! Look forward to next episode.

I watched it, and agree about the actor spotting; I thought Alun Armstrong had died (sorry)so was pleased to see him acting again. Regrettably, I fell asleep, and was even more confused by having watched a recent episode of Vera also concerning hostilities dating from the minors' strike.

Such a good cast! Much better than I was expecting.

so I don't forget all the links between the characters in between the weeks
I need to sort them out!

It was excellent.

Apparently it's on tomorrow then on Mondays and Tuesdays for six episodes in total.

I'm going to check if it's on iPlayer and try to binge it after tomorrow's, so I don't forget all the links between the characters in between the weeks.

I like Alun Armstrong
But he played quite a different part to his role in New Tricks!

Good wasn't it? A stellar cast. Not so much a whodunnit as a whydunnit!

Did anyone else watch this?

There were so many characters, all linked or related in some way, that it is going to take some sorting out. Five more episodes to find out who is who ?

If it wasn't for the title I wouldn't have realised from most of the accents that it was set in the Midlands, although I did hear someone addressed as "duck".

We spent a lot of time spotting known faces - "Oh, it's him!" "Oh, it's her!" "Where have we seen them before?"

The acting is good.
David Morrissey is excellent.
