Was so looking forward to this, but not sure it worked for me last night. Yet another drug-dealing gangster story. Will watch next episode tonight and decide!

Ah, ok.

I'm only just catching up, missed most of the first series and episode 1 of this series.

I did hear a "duck" or two the other night (but not from David Morrissey).

Now - Neil Morrissey is from Stafford, not a million miles from Nottingham. Perhaps he should be in it.

Am binge watching at the moment. Can't stand the lady the mother of Nicky. But I guess it's good acting to provoke these feelings.
Finding the whole thing very depressing but will have to watch in the hope they, the murderers get punished!!!

Do you mean Ann Branson?

She was played by Monica Dolan who is such a good actress, she played Jo Hamilton in Mr Bates -v- The Post Office, quite a different character.
Different again when she played Rose West, Marian Thorpe and many other roles.

Isn't she brilliant!

Allira, I think I didn't even plain very well what I meant. I think the actress is great but disliked the woman she was portraying.

I read that this is the first time that Robert Lindsay has used his natural accent in a production.

He spoke in a very posh voice not a Nottingham accent at all. I had heard what you posted too.

Great actress. Very convincing, we watched final part last night.

Yes, I understood 🙂

I was trying to point out how versatile she is.
She makes each part she plays believable

Me too, I thought it was outstanding. My son told me to watch it and we usually appreciate the same dramas, he is also a David Morrissey fan like me.
