Jekyll and Hyde, new series on ITV

[fuzzpig]

Anyone else excited about this? Have to admit I can't really remember how the original story plays out, but it looks good.

Won't be watching 'live' - it's on at 6.30, so must be reasonably tame, but probably still too scary for my DCs, so will watch on catch up.

When does it start?

[fuzzpig]

6.30 tonight on ITV (I was a bit surprised at the time, thought it'd be more a 9pm type thing)

[oneowlgirl]

That is early - I'll put it into series record. Thanks!

[EnthusiasmDisturbed]

that was scary

loved it

not sure it is family viewing

[Asheth]

I really enjoyed that, but I'm surprised it was on so early. It was very frightening and very dark in places.

[squoosh]

I really enjoyed it but was surprised at its teatime slot, it was a bit dark and violent in places.

[squoosh]

Basically I just parroted Asheth!

So I'll add that Mr Jekyll/Hyde was most pleasing on the eye!

[BeckerLleytonNever]

According to the wonderful daily fail theres been loads of complaints to Ofcom about the violence and gore shown at that time of night, before the so called watershed.

I didn't watch it and glad, cos my DC would've freaked out.

[Asheth]

I'm not surprised. I'm pretty laid back about such things but even I felt that ... spoiler for those that haven't watched...




People being tied up and left in a burning house to die was not tea time viewing!

[WorriedCatLover]

It is one of my most favourite books and this series is desperately awful ! It felt very cheesy. I gave it the benefit of watching the first episode but not watching again .

[Rollergirl1]

I'm just watching now. What were itv thinking airing this at 6.30? Very frightening and definitely not family viewing!

Not sure if I like it or not. It is quite cheesy and over the top. But I think I read somewhere that Charlie Higson was going for cheesy somewhat.

[Davros]

It's got a good pedigree but I did find it silly. Will give it another chance, looks like more "monsters" next week

[Obs2015]

Not sure about it. Good cast so should be good..... But, just not sure.
Watched late last night, on sky planner, so hadn't realised 6.30pm - but that seems most inappropriate.

[youngestisapsycho]

I just watched it.... Certainly not suitable for a 6:30 viewing.... My DD9 was quite scared, and she watches a lot of older stuff.

[Asheth]

Anyone watching tonight?

[fuzzpig]

I haven't even seen the first one yet DD uses the laptop for audio books so can't use catchup when they're in bed.

It's been cancelled?? WTAF? I Loved this!!

[Bunbaker]

It has just been postponed due to the events in Paris;

[MarkingMyPlace9]

Oh sorry, I read (In the Mirror I think) That it was cancelled, Jumped the Gun a bit there lol

[MarkingMyPlace9]

Ah, it's popped back on my Series Link to Tape Sunday Night
