Mix Tape on BBC2

Thoroughly enjoying it.

Ooh I hadn’t noticed that but will look out for it. The “young Alison” actress is very pretty.

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes. The only thing that irked me was that the young Alison had dark, curly hair, whereas the adult Alison had straight blonde hair!

I just accept that people straighten and dye their hair - and that she was hiding the fact that she had gone grey by going blonde!

True, but the adult Alison had blue eyes too! Still really enjoyed it.

I’ve just finished watching it and did enjoy it. It so took me back to being young again and then my children’s teenage years with the mix tapes. Thanks for the recommendation; it isn’t something that I would usually watch but I’m glad I did.

I thought it was lovely.

With such glowing reviews, perhaps I will find it on I-player sometime in the future and give it another go. Perhaps I am just not in the right mood at the moment.

It gets better as it goes along. I almost switched off but am glad I didn't. Looking forward to the next two episodes.

I binge watched it - thought it was pretty good. I thought the actors playing the teenagers were better than those playing the older couple. Very nostalgic!

I’m enjoying it. Very poignant.

Hubby and I binged watched all episodes last night. We absolutely loved it. We both said it makes a change to watch something that wasn’t full of violence and bad language. We didn’t want it to end

It is superb - I binge watched it over a couple of days. Superb acting and direction, and brilliant screenplay with subtle twists and insights. 5 stars from me for sure!

Like Charleygirl5, I started watching it, skipped a bit to see if it got better, gave up and deleted the Series Link I had set up. I didn't take to the characters and the story failed to grip me.

Have you watched The Chelsea Detective, Charleygirl5?

I am afraid I prefer murder, and that is all I read nowadays. I have not enjoyed the recent ones shown, but during winter, there will be something on TV for me.

Loving it , I don't want it to end . Trying not to binge . Stirring up lots of happy memories, the music , first love. Sigh !!

Yes really enjoying it.

I gave it ten minutes, possibly not long enough and gave up.

Perhaps watch it on iPlayer so you can skim through to see if you change yourr mind?

I am enjoying it, very nostalgic, I am sure a few of us have looked up ex old flames on Facebook out of curiosity and ask the question "what if...?"

I watched two episodes last night. A tender young love story. I was heartbroken at the end of episode 2, regarding the girl's brother, no spoilers, so I won't go into detail.

We both liked it.

I'm enjoying it It reminds me of my children's late teen times.

I’ve just watched the first one, I love it DH not too keen. But it’s reminding me of my first love, never forgotten those feelings.

A friend recommended it this afternoon!
