I enjoyed the first episode but I found the lighting was almost non existent- all dark.

The last production of Towards Zero is on now -ITW 3 .
I thought and think it beautifully cast and acted .
I'm watching it .
I found the latest production boring.

Oh I think so, though perhaps not in full view of everyone .

Hiw embarrassing for the 2 actors on the stairs. Do people actually behave like that?Surely not.

Oreo I watched Bridgeton with my 90 yr old aunt. She wanted to know what they were doing up the ladder in the library. So I told her. She was surprisingly interested and not at all censorious.

I fell asleep, I shall have to rewatch it.

Not for me with my peripheral neuropathy!

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:59:10

Maybe we should all try it and report back.All except those who live in a bungalow.

Mouseybrown60 Sun 09-Mar-25 17:56:22

I thought it was a very odd thing to do on a staircase. I mean they could easily both have fallen down the stairs!

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:43:40

Oooh, what’s the ‘image coming soon’ ? Very apt hey?

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:42:20

Anyway, a surprising scene and not one you’d want to be watching with old Aunty Dot in the room, haha.

Allira Sun 09-Mar-25 17:42:12

I don't need to watch the programme 😯

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:40:30

Thinking further, the word is correct but maybe it wasn’t the woman performing the act on him? Was it him with her? In that case the cunn word which I can’t spell.😄

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:37:21

Hmm, now I look at that word it does sound like a character from a Shakespeare play😂

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:36:24

Isn’t it?

Mouseybrown60 Sun 09-Mar-25 17:33:23

I don’t think that is the correct word for it Oreo!

We watched all episodes on iPlayer and have to say that one particular scene might have a few GNetters clutching their pearls shock

I must buy some pearls to clutch, wonder if DP would be convinced by the reason I need them.😁Otherwise I can only clutch DP or hide behind an anti-macassar when I feel an attack of the vapours coming on.

Oreo Sun 09-Mar-25 17:25:53

I quite enjoyed it but the scene on the stairs, fellatio😲was hardly Agatha Christie material!

Thanks, silverbrooks.

I think you may be misunderstanding the use of the word drop, thinking it means the BBC are no longer showing it.

Drop in TV scheduling parlance means when the show is first available to watch e.g. New episodes of xxx will drop weekly on Fridays at 8:00pm.

So if BBC drop all three episodes it means all are available to stream one after the other rather than being released week by week.

Mollygo Sun 09-Mar-25 12:59:24

I read a post from someone this morning that
BBC has dropped all episodes of ‘scandalous’ new thriller on iPlayer.
I don’t know how true it is, and I’m not really bothered, but I would like to know why the rumour started.

In the book, Audrey is fragile, pale and delicate, the complete opposite of Kay. In this drama, she's glamorous and scheming, and obviously up to something!

I am sure Agatha would be amazed, specially the sex on the stairs!! Just read the book, Joan Hickson it ain’t

I was waiting for them to whizz down the banisters. grin

I don’t mind a bit of variation from the story but this was too far removed.

I think the best that can be said about it was that it was a good advert for lipstick.

The acting from the two wives was terrible.
Facial expressions quite off putting but also funny in a
“ can you believe it way”.
