did anyone watch 739 ??

[JupiterGentlefly]

Quite perceptive and horrible. I can see how easily affairs happen. I know its fiction but I am getting quite angry and unsettled. Why did they pursue the liaison?

The wife should have left. Have some respect woman.

And I would ask for a dna from sally, condoms break and arent fool proof.

It annoyed me too both very selfish tbh

Why would a woman leave an otherwise kind and caring man-it wasn't as if he was a serial adulterer- that she has built a life with for a one-off affair?

I watched this with my wife. As a commuter (into London) for over 15 years it made for interesting watching on my part. Whilst nothing like that ever happened to me, I did sort of recognise some of the dynamic (everyone sufering together) and I did strike up some friendships (of sorts) both Male and Female.

Needless to say, Mrs. Contrarian now thinks that every single train journey throws up a some sort of liaison which falls between the 07.39 and a Brief Encounter!

In all the years I commuted, I only ever took one woman's mobile number....and that was the number of the woman who ran the station tea shack.

I knew someone would start this thread. 2 hours of my life wasted watching it

There were a couple of threads running on the evening of the showing iirc.

Quadro, yes Sally and Ryan's relationship should have been stopped if you like but not by hurting him like that surely? She should have had the guts to tell him that she wasn't in love with him, didn't want his babies and didn't want to go and live in Australia. Poor bloke shouldn't have had to go through that .

Belize but he was a control freak with violent tendencies (as demonstrated in the programme) so it might have been hard for her to do it any other way. He was the least sympathetic character. Sometimes it is hard to have guts with somebody like that. They're the sort that will insist black is red IYSWIM.

Perhaps she should have had an affair with a non-married man.

Yes I could have been more open to the idea of her and a single man. The married man (Carl - he so didn't look like a Carl) seemed very unhappy in his work life but not with his marriage until she started to flirt with him. I took a very dim view of that I have to say and would in RL.

Her ex fiancé reminded me of my BF, not good haha!

If everyone had behaved as they should there would have been no drama...

I thought the part where he had to talk to his children was very sad.

At least he told them himself.

It brought home the enormity of what he had done and risked.

Bad acting??
Really! David Morrisey and Sheridan Smith, two of the best actors in the country at the moment played really good parts.

My DW and I watched it, and we both enjoyed the story it told. Neither of us felt uncomfortable with the subject matter.

I thought the acting was good. She is a lovely looking girl.
