Well I enjoyed it !
Escapist gosh it might have been, but Nicola Walker was superb as usual and as for Toby Stephens- the looks of his mother and voice of his father- brought back many happy memories.

But when you look at his wife in real life the idea that he would be attracted to Nicola Walker is a bit far fetched..

Oh Pascal30 - it’s called acting

well obviously I meant as a character.. they looked very unsuited to me..

not quite doo'lally yet Rosiesmaw

And her husband

I have to agree that she looks better in real life.. but she looked so frumpy in this series that we'll have to disagree about their suitability on screen

Watched last night. Really enjoyed it. Have to say who on earth was in charge of choosing her clothes? Dreadful!

I've watched and loved The Split right through from the first series. This two-parter was engaging and silly in equal measure. However, I'm hoping that its going to lead to another London based series which follows the intriguing love affair of Hannah and Archie, the tedium of Nathan's new life and what will happen to Rose and her bizarre relationship with the priest. I never did 'get' Nina.
Toby Stephens was the one feasible character in this daft Barcelona farce, playing his part as befits his thespian roots and being far more interesting than Stephen Mangan's Nathan and/or the Christie character. I like Nicola Walker but would say that she needs to rehearse a new set of facial expressions, get a face pack and recruit a new wardrobe finder.

I agree it was a load of rubbish. What a waste of such good acting skills.

Weve started from series 1 and slowly working our way through the episodes. The actors are really good.
