gaynor faye, larry lamb.... there are 4 episodes.

maddyone Mon 25-Sept-23 23:58:41

I was disappointed with the ending too.

Charleygirl5 Mon 25-Sept-23 22:24:53

merlotgran that is what I could not understand. After Nathan was knocked out surely 999 could have been contacted then. I did not understand why everybody just stared at the burning building- a poor ending in my opinion.

Aldom Mon 25-Sept-23 22:23:04

My thoughts exactly Greenfinch.
A weak ending I felt.

crazyH Mon 25-Sept-23 22:14:03

Thanks👍

Greenfinch Mon 25-Sept-23 22:07:54

And no-one would stand so close to a burning building.

merlotgran Mon 25-Sept-23 21:59:00

So nobody phones the fire brigade?

Is it just my TV or is there a voice-over describing everything that’s happening? It’s quite annoying…

it's a button on your remote. done it myself inadvertently sometimes

Greenfinch Mon 25-Sept-23 21:14:20

No voice-over here.Everything normal. Poor Susan!

last one tonight..

Doodledog Mon 18-Sept-23 20:58:25

I'm in, but I'm struggling to remember what happened last week. I'm hoping there will be a decent recap and it will all come back to me.

Greenfinch Mon 18-Sept-23 20:56:42

Me too.

merlotgran Mon 18-Sept-23 20:46:10

Yes!

lemsip Mon 18-Sept-23 20:45:14

anyone going to watch again 9pm

biglouis Wed 13-Sept-23 15:48:27

I prefer watching the whole lot on i-player or on demand so I get pretty impatient having to wait a week for the next episode as in the olden days.

Agree Lemsip, she made herself look so cheap.

and desperate..

hated Gaynor Faye's character in the short dress drinking and snogging face off someone...... didn't suit the actress.

V3ra Wed 13-Sept-23 12:03:10

I spent most of her scenes this week wondering if it were her lips, or her teeth. Yes, very distracting.

Greenfinch Wed 13-Sept-23 11:41:18

I enjoyed the first episode but found it rather tedious this week. I can’t really empathise with any of the characters and so I don’t care what happens and I agree with the poster up thread who finds the swollen lips off putting.

I am enjoying it but I find Jemima Rooper’s enhanced lips very distracting.

They’re all heavy drinkers aren’t they?

Yess! I looked at Google Images of Jemima from years ago in case I was imagining it (I wasn't!) Her lips were much better back in the day.

Yes, they're all drinking like mad out of huge wine glasses.

Smileless2012 Wed 13-Sept-23 11:36:10

I'm staying with it to see how it ends but the plot is OTT.

The sister find the will but telling no one. The brother going to the father of his nephew whose been stopped from seeing his own son, for a 20K loan, thinking he'd have the money in a matter of weeks if he'd been a beneficiary.

Probate can take months when the surviving parent dies, even when there is a will so rather far fetched.

Auntieflo Wed 13-Sept-23 11:31:49

Watched the first episode on Catch up, then have recorded the rest of the series.
I am in two minds about it.
They seem to be always drinking, always with a glass of wine in their hands.
Also, do any of them work, except the chef chap?
Will probably watch to see how it pans out.

Doodledog Wed 13-Sept-23 10:13:00

I agree with that, too. I don't know why they don't put it on My5 so that we can watch it all at once. I struggle to commit to watching the same time every week (and yes, I forget the details between episodes). I think I'll give up on this one and put it on the list of things to watch when it's finished and I can binge it.

Louella12 Wed 13-Sept-23 09:56:47

I prefer to binge watch these days. My memory is appalling and I find it hard to remember what happened yesterday so a week is just too much.

So I'm not bothering with it.
