World On Fire, BBC iPlayer

I thought last night's was good, but rather dark and sad. Didn't realise it ends next week, can't see how they will tie up each storyline.

They won’t, it will be left all open-ended for next series.

I am finding this drama harrowing and boring in equal parts; the scenes last night seemed very protracted. Robina's speeches about a woman's place was ridiculous, and I wonder what will happen to her son if the body of the German prisoner is discovered with his hands still tied?

We have been following and enjoying this, but now we're finding the chopping and jumping from one scenario in short order to another rather frustrating.

Unlike some on here, we would still give it the thumbs up and look forward to the next series if there is one.

Robina's speeches were ridiculous, women at home were helping in the war effort, as well as keeping the home fires burning!

Surely her son would have had enough sense to remove the rope from the German? He really is a drip, though, so perhaps not.

I'm watching on iPlayer as I missed it first time round. It's really good. Lesley Manville is terrific and it's not an easy role.
I'd not complain about potentially boring bits as that's something that was often written about during the war. Lots of nothing much then all systems go.

It is the way the scenes are presented that is boring, not the events themselves. They do not serve to move the plot on or develop the characters, and i am sure they are intended to point up the differences between the awful events and the dull times.

The stiff upper lips do wobble a bit!

I found series two very disappointing when compared to season one. I doubt if I will be watching the next series.

She is, and must be a good actress to deliver that script without laughing!

I nodded off the last 10 minutes or so last night, so shall have to re-watch the end. Just saw Kasia jumping out of a plane.

It zipped about from one scene to another so many times I couldn’t keep up.

Not on tenterhooks till series 3, if there is one.

I can't get over how good Lesley Manville was. She was such an awkward, prickly and stiff upper lip posh, British type 'lady'. Sir James was lovely.
I really hope there's a series three. I want to know how they all got on.

Looks as if they're hoping for a third series, so many unfinished stories. Enjoyed it, though. Made a change from the usual detective or thriller dramas.
