Tonight 6 part drama ITV 9pm “Out There”.

I don't think I can watch it

Just started watching it thanks for the heads up!

Will watch it when we’ve finished with SAS Rogue Heroes.

Actually I can’t watch it tonight either Jax, I’ve been chatting with a friend but I plan to watch it during the day tomorrow on catch up itv. I think it looks a really promising drama.

I enjoyed the first episode although storylines about teenagers/drugs/county lines always make me uneasy. Add rural issues into the mix and I think it might be a hard watch.

Martin Clunes is excellent as always

Yes, it's making me uneasy too, merlotgran.

Farming is a tough life.
Loving the scenery though! 😀

Oh, bum!!!
Have I missed it?
I had it earmarked to watch, too.

Watched the first two episodes, it's interesting so far.

I don’t care for Martin Clunes, never watched Doc Marten, but thought I would give this a go, although the storyline looked depressing.

It jumped about quite a lot, sometimes I wasn’t sure if we were in Nathan’s house or his deceased neighbour’s.

He spent quite a bit of time in the pub, just having the odd pint.

But it was when he offered Eva a cleaning job at his home. No mention of what was expected of her, how many hours she would work or what her pay would be.

For a hard up farmer, that would have been important, I would have thought.

No doubt she will be a love interest.

Watched the first episode and enjoyed it. The son, Johnny, is played by the son of Lorraine Ashbourne and Andy Serkis, both great actors. He's actually 20 in real life but playing a 15 year old!

I m with you Calandergirl not a Martin Clunes fan at all and don’t watch much with him in
I thought it was a bit predictable and again like you would you just take a cleaner on to go in to clean your personal rooms
(bedrooms) without even checking their background or getting a reference and how many cleaners would cook a meal (with all the ingredients to hand) on their first day or even week
I ll stick with it as not much else to watch but not impressed so far My opinion might all change though

Ps no idea who Lorraine Ashbourne or Andy Serkis are 🤣

They've both done lots of TV and film work - Google them!

What accent was Martin Clunes attempting?

Photo of Lorraine Ashbourne and Andy Serkis attached. To be fair he's usually heavily disguised as Gollum or King Kong. She was recently in Sherwood and is in the new series, Riot Women.

I recognise her but not him.

Serkis and Ashbourne for parents - wonder how he got the part??!

I recognised his name, Serkis, but no idea who his dad was.

His mum has been in lots of stuff, of course.

I watched the first episode and will watch the rest. It's not exactly a laugh a minute but it is good drama.

I like Martin Clunes but find it hard to think of him as anyone other than Doc Martin. After the first half an hour I had bought into his character.

I though his slight Welsh accent was fine. I think if he had done a full on Welsh accent it would have sounded too OTT. I think he did say his father was English though.

I will watch as well on catch up. I watched Lockerbie which I am really enjoying.

I have never been a fan of Martin Clunes but I was never a fan of Martin Freeman either until I watched The Responder. He was made for that part so I will watch it and see how Martin Clunes is as farming is close to his heart.
The story line about the impact of County Lines dealing and the already difficult enough times for farmers sounds an interesting watch.

Thanks for the heads up about this drama, and I like Martin Clunes in just about anything.

Me too.

Welsh accents vary too, just as English accents do.
This is supposed to be Border country although I think some of it is filmed elsewhere.

I'm not sure why but I just couldn't get into it. Id fancied it so decided to abandon it and try another day.
