The Au Pair

escaped

So far it seems a bit silly and far fetched. I hope I get to find out why she needs retribution, and on whom.

It is ridiculous and far fetched. And the last 2 episodes are far more ridiculous and far fetched.

I started to watch it but decided that cleaning the air fryer was far more entertaining.

I kept waiting for Jill Halfpenny to pop up as she so frequently does in these overwrought Channel 5 thrillers.

Does Vera know that Aiden has another wife and children?

And they live in a posh house, but don’t seem to possess an electric toothbrush.

lol - I always ask myself the inevitable multiple choice question with a Channel 5 drama -

Who is most likely to appear in this programme?

1. Jo Joyner

2. Sally Lindsay

3. Jill Halfpenny

(I gave up after about half an hour, found myself checking out Fb on my phone - always a certain sign of complete boredom)

Watched it all. It's not going to win any awards but it was watchable. To me, anyway. Mr. Rula did keep nodding off.

Thank you Catterygirl. I have complained to Ofcom. I felt so strongly. Ignorance of insulin dependent diabetes is frightening.

Oh Nuttynanna2,
Sorry to hear that. I won’t be able to watch the programme for a few days.

I wasn’t impressed. Too far-fetched. May continue to watch to see why she is acting as she does but not really bothered.

Father had "dangerously low blood sugar." They appeared to give him more insulin which would have undoubtedly killed him. I know that he need glucose administered quickly with a glucagon pen. People believe what they see on TV. This could actually cause someone to die needlessly. I have lost count of the number of times I have sat by my son's hospital bed because of hypoglycemia. These sort of dramas need to get their medical facts correct even if everything else is make believe. It made me so angry.

I’m taping it. Had two au pairs when son was young and I had an international dating agency before it became a thing! One was a Spanish Gothic who got up in the night and choked on biscuits. We did feed her well. Then we had Fiorella from Italy who ate more than my six foot husband with a voracious appetite. Every time he sneaked to the fridge for a midnight snack, she beat him to it. Then I stumbled upon a junior Welsh nanny training to be a proper nanny at college, seeking work experience. She was only 16 but perfect. My advice would be give it a try if you have no choice but to work.
