BBC I: The Control Room

There seems to be a fashion for this type of TV drama - a seemingly random string of mysteries that, quite soon, viewers couldn’t care less about.

I'm watching it but can't understand a lot of it! Either the sound is dodgy or the diction is poor. It's a bit like some of the Welsh dramas - gloom, doom and a bit scary - but not half as good. Last episode tonight I think

Juliet27 No not a lot of steps. I am in a modern block with 5 steps at the front and none at the back.
I had my head out of the window until the director told me to put it inside whilst they filmed Sam and Gabo walking past in episode 1.

They told us that other filming took place in Stirling, Paisley and Glasgow city centre.

I stuck it out and the ending wasn't worth waiting for.

That's a shame. I'd planned to see the last episode tonight then +1 the Ch5 one, as I did last night. After investing 2 hours in it, it seems a shame not to see it through, but experience shows that I won't watch it properly anyway, so I'll be no wiser at the end than I was at the beginning.

I thought the opening sequence first episode was pretty good, then it veered off all over the place, I've seen two episodes so far I'll probably stick with it for the final part if for no other reason that to admire Gabe's rucksack which I thought was quite stylish [envy}

Aww TOPSYIRENE06 that must have been amazing....I couldn't figure out where Sam's flat was ....I grew up near Hampden so know Langside well...Get the feeling Gaybo isn't as innocent as he looks...Find out tonight

You were right, Pittcity. That's three hours I won't see again. I'm not sure I care enough, but if I decide I need to know the finer points I will have to find a synopsis, because as I suspected, I wasn't paying much attention.

Watched for 20 minutes , couldn't make head nor tail of it ! Bored , so gave up .

I got right to the last 19 mins but got too tired and achy so went to bed...don't know what happened but could probably hazard a good guess.

I'm glad I stuck it out, although that was touch and go during the second episode. The final episode had all (well, nearly all!) the pieces of the jigsaw falling into place so I'm glad I persisted. Not so improbable as one might think......

Mr G and I both stuck with it because we thought it might improve - it didn't.
