Gosh this new thriller is good so far - episode 2 last night. Hugh Grant really seems to be coming into his own as an actor i recent years and it is good to NK with with her lovely naturally curly hair left to its own devices (mostly!).

Pity it's only on Sky.

Anyone else watching it?

Thanks Lisagran I guessed that had happened but must have missed the conversation ( knew she’d asked friend to meet for a walk) .So did I miss the whole,point of her volunteering to take the stand?

Atqui I think her taking the stand was planned (by her) as she intended to 'put the boot in' in that she knew her blonde friend would tell the prosecutor about the conversation they had. So in order for those points to be raised, she had to be in the witness box.

It was an all round good production I thought, great acting and plot and dialogue.Hugh Grant gets better and better with age.Nicole Kidman is looking a bit odd with all the work she has had done on her face ( stop now Nicole!) Nichole? But as always, she is a good actress.

I agree lemongrove, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant both gave outstanding performances. We watched the last episode tonight and we both thought it was one of the best dramas we’ve watched since Chernobyl. We are going to keep the Now TV entertainment package over Christmas because there are lots of box sets from Sky Atlantic that we would like to watch such as My Brilliant Friend Series 2, Prodigal Son and Succession.

Yes the while thing was planned when Nicole Kidman’s character phoned her lawyer friend Early in the morning and asked her to go for a walk with her as she wanted to talk to her. The lawyer friend knew the Prosecution lawyer from law school so would have passed the proposed plan and information about Hugh Grant’s past with Nicole Kidman‘s blessing. It was a clever twist that we didn’t see coming.

Didn’t fancy it as have always been allergic to Nicole Kidman (but don’t know why!) Doesn’t help that she now looks like a dummy in a shop window.
Trisher, Helen Mirren had a very noticeable face lift around the time of Prime Suspect, which amused me as she promoted creams to get that effect?

If she did perhaps HM should have asked for her money back. She is rumoured to have had one lately- she is 75.

Yes a clever twist Jane43 . Shame it’s finished. I didn’t think Nicole K looked like a doll, just couldn’t believe how she looked exactly the same as she did in Bangkok Hilton so many years ago, even with plastic surgery.

By the way, that's Nicole Kidman singing the theme song - Dream a Little Dream of Me.

Did she tell anyone about the elevator, Namsnanny?
