Anyone else listening to Radio 4 ‘Life Lines’?

[EdmontinaDonsAutumnalHues]

2.15pm - on now.

It’s just …

I can hear my heart thumping.

Liked this programme when it was only 15 minutes. This is a fabulous extension. But I’m going to be crying by the end.

Yesterday’s was amazing. Heart in mouth stuff. Writing, directing, acting - I was fully convinced and right there in the moment, trying not to shout out and alarm people in neighbouring gardens!

I suppose it’s in the nature of emergency services work that things are necessarily episodic - it becomes a little frustrating when you don’t always hear the conclusion of a story, but it can also seem a tiny bit pat (is that the word?) when you do.

But the ongoing story of Carrie’s personal life and how it intersects with her work does tie it all together.

Great, light-footed afternoon listening.

I’m loving this too, totally recommend!

I had it on. I welled up at Gap Finders today.

Thanks for flagging this, I'd have missed it otherwise. Once again really enjoyed it but why is she still with Ian!

Oh my - finally listened to Pt 2. And they did follow up, a couple of things at least. Rather different pace to Pt 1, but so absorbing.

It's back. Tuesday and Wednesday next week as the Afternoon Drama:

Yay!!!

Great news! Thanks, @nauticant.

Everyone ready?!

😄🎉

Yep. Just about to make a coffee and start listening.

OMG!

That was all very dramatic! Gripping stuff though.

Have to say, apart from all the heart in mouth stuff, I was questioning her domestic decisions given the logistical difficulties they already have.

Very absorbing all round!

And we're back! Second part on now.

This one feels like a continuation of The Archers!

It was the week of the mega-flood a decade ago that made me give up listening to The Archers. It was just too much.

"Is your husband bleeding at all?"
"Yes, he's bleedin' infuriating."

Hahahahaha.

Oh my God - this is even more terrifying at the petrol station!

That was rather dark. Anyway, it's over now. I think I'll go for a lie down.

😂

Series 9 starts in half an hour, at 14.15.

Today?!?!

Oh, wow - I had no idea. Will catch up later.

Hope they’ve maintained the quality of previous series.

I enjoyed today's episode. I really enjoy Life Lines. It's similar to the one set in the police station which I can't remember the name of, but that was really good too.

Part 2 has just started now:

Oh my God - listening to yesterday’s episode. This is … too much feeling.
