Last Tango In Halifax

[SpanishFly]

Anyone been watching this? I didn't think I'd enjoy it much but it's so sweet and heartwarming. I'm thoroughly enjoying it :)

[Mumofthreeteens]

I have really enjoyed it so far. Amazed Derek Jacobi is still alive, he was in I Claudius when I was a kid.

[Clayhead]

It's had much more to it than I thought it would. Some great acting.

[GreatCongas]

He's been busy doing in the night garden until now

I've been watching it. It's intriguing and I can't sense where it is going

[SpanishFly]

I have to say I'm a bit confused as to why Gillian would hv had sex with that creepy guy - he treats her appallingly and is lechy. She seemed disgusted by him, so it's a bit weird.

And yes, Derek Jacobi has always seemed to be that age!

[carabos]

spanishfly I agree - how and why would she get involved with such a creep - and he's young enough to be her son? Actually, her calling up Caroline's husband creeped me out a bit too - I'm wondering if she's a predator? She's the least sympathetic of the characters.

Caroline is hilarious - great acting from Sarah Lancashire.

[diddl]

It´s great, isn´t it?

I love Anne Reid-loved it when she slapped the SIL.

And Sarah Lancashire is good as well.

All interesting characters.

I've been really enjoying this too though I missed it last night due to life intruding on my telly viewing.
I came to the conclusion that Gillian was just using the creepy guy for sexual gratification purposes only - she doesn't want a relationship with anyone as she's no time and it's too complicated or it could possibly have something to do with the reason her husband committed suicide...........
Who knows? - at least it's less complicated than Homeland!

[OodKingWenceslas]

I'm loving it too.

[DreamsTurnToGoldDust]

I`m loving it, I throught the creepy youngster Gillian was having sex with was horrible, but of course I started feeling really sorry for him last night.

[ChippingInLovesAutumn]

I've really enjoyed it so far too, though I made encouraged a friend to watch it last night and it wasn't as good as the first ones... I hope it was just a little dip.

[GreatCongas]

Not sure she could be his mum. I would have put him at around 30 and she's what? 40
And dh wonders why I'm always looking these sorts of things up

[SpanishFly]

winged at first I'd wondered if it was just an uncomplicated sexual thing, but choosing someone who's engaged doesn't seem uncomplicated :)

[jessiegeesusinamanger]

I watched the first 2 episodes on iplayer last night because 2 of my friends were raving about it. I thought I'd hate it but am absolutely loving it. Such great acting and somehow it's believable! I haven't enjoyed a tv drama as much for years and years.

[rocketupbum]

I think it's great too, fab acting too. I got married in the hall they are now locked in!

[GreatCongas]

Is it spooky?

[CuriousMama]

No GreatCongas that's Crickley

I love it too. The acting's fantastic and you really don't know where it's going? Plus it's a bit of a mystery.

I think Gillian rang Caroline's husband as she has no friends?

[diddl]

Another thing I like & I don´t mean this to be offensive, is that the actors are quite ordinary looking.

You could quite feasibly see them together.

No middle aged paunchy husband with a trophy wife.

[diddl]

I have a terrible feeling that they won´t get married.

Perhaps they´ll find that they´ve changed too much.

[marleybrodie]

Loving this filmed not too far away from me.
Thought it sounded far too cheesey....but it's great viewing.

[BackforGood]

Haven't watched this week's yet, but I too have really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Great cast. Lots of different bits of storyline you can see developing. Have to agree though about the sex with the leech! I mean - you wouldn't, would you ???

[CuriousMama]

I think Nicola Walker (Gillian) is a fantastic actress. She was great in Spooks too.

[GreatCongas]

Yes she's very human isn't she. I keep expecting people to call her Ruth though

[Santaslittlemisshelper]

I'm enjoying it, only watched it to spot local areas and rather disappointed that it hasn't really shown much of Halifax!

[BikeRunSki]

I like that it us based on the writer's mum's real-life experience.


And that I can shout and point at the telling saying "Been there!".

[CuriousMama]

Ruth

I didn't know that BikeRunSki?
