Who else started watching this on Channel 5 last night?

It’s on again tonight and tomorrow, I think.

I have the book on order from the library, ready to collect.

Hope I can get it read before it finishes on tv, think there are 6 episodes.

I never watch anything until all the episodes are available, because I don't want to wait a week for each episode, although sometimes I know it's one episode a day.

Whole series is on paramount, if you have this service.

Binge watched it all yesterday, we started watching and just ended up watching it all

It's very watchable. There's a few things that just wouldn't happen in the real world but all in all , very good.

I agree flowers

Would someone mind filling me in on what happened in the last episode? I realise that I missed it, and for some reason Ch5 catchup isn't working on my tv. Thanks in advance.

It turned out that the husband of the friend, the one who wanted to start his own business but had no money, can’t remember her name, he was the one who went to the house and between him and Franky the baby rolled off the changing mat. He told the boy his mother would go to prison for leaving the children on their own if he told anyone. So he was scared to. Anyway, the mother was released without charge,had counselling as she seemed to be suffering from PND as she was trying to be the perfect mum. The bad husband was arrested.

All ended up as being good friends again.

This televised version veered from the book considerably.

Thank you, Calendargirl.

I usually moan about these sorts of drama series as they often start well and then fizzle out, but I really enjoyed this and thought it raised some important issues regarding the treatment of pregnant women and the lack of understanding of post-natal depression - which I am sure is much more common than is recognised.
