is anyone watching moving on on bbc1 right now?

[stainesmassif]

have come home from work feeling poorly and there's the lovely john simm on daytime telly doing acting and everything!

you're missing out!!

turned out a bit ordinary actually, but john simm -

o o will get it on iplayer asap

and hope you feeling better soon

sharbie! hi! i will feel better when i get this bloody baby out! four weeks to go.

its officially the worlds' longest pregnancy

Yey!! It was the highlight of my day :) (2 sick dc and a loopy dog) I'm rewatching life of mars at the moment too so its a John Simm love in at the moment- dh is concerned what recent birth has done to me

Yes and apparently Philip glenister's in another episode. Daytime telly is just not that good. Mind you, I had diagnosis murder on after.....

I think the pregnancy might seem long cause it's been a bit of a whingefest! Love the end result, not a fan of the process...

hmmmmmmm it was ok

I know I know, but i was having a shite day, so it really was my highlight whilst playing trains and settling LO.

yh it was ok tonight too as there wasn't much on tv

felt a bit sorry for the ugly bloke though - he didn't really stand a chance against js did he?

Didn't you recognise the ugly bloke? He was the one from trainspotting who took a load of speed for an interview. I did say it ended up quite ordinary, but for daytime viewing it was quite a treat. I can't find anything to watch this evening either.

Not a chance, especially as he did his cute shy smile thing

spud? staines

No I didn't- but then I some how missed that js was in human traffic (or maybe I was trying to blank that film from my memory?!)

now i like js but he does just really play the same role each time doesn't he??

i liked that moneylender thing he was in years ago

They had Jenny Agutter (sp?) on yesterday, playing a 60 yr old woman who felt she was ugly and fat and started having lots of plastic surgery to compensate. It was hilarious, Jenny Agutter is bloody gorgeous and it made the whole story line unbelievable.

Well done sharbie! Spud. Thank you. Pg brain.
What's wrong with human traffic? That is 'the weekend has landed' isn't it? I must've watched that about 10 times at the time and fancied him in that too. (obvs I can se now that it was drivel).

The other 'Moving On's have been much better. Even though it had JS in it, I couldn't get over the fact that Spud lost his family and his job. Maybe that makes it more realistic as shit happens to nice people all the time....

It was directed by Dominic West too.... was expecting it to be better...

Staines-it could be my memory, I watched it trying to spot a girl from school in it one drunken evening, so perhaps not the best critic!

Still, better than bargain hunt or whatever other soul destroying shite was on.

I luuurved human traffic at the time, esp 'nice one bruv'. My only defence is that I was in my 20's.
So, moving on, produced by jimmy McGovern, directed by Dominic west, how did it end up so pedestrian? I found the end particularly cheesy, spud watching the family from a distance - how the tables are turned etc etc.
I say all this, but it was still better than diagnosis murder.

yh and she was slightlyyyyyyyyyy overacting

I think the problem is trying to depict gritty drama midafternoon- they pull their punches so it begins to resemble an article in "chat" or "readers digest" rather than the quality it would be over 2 hours in the evening with full characterisation etc etc.

I guess it's true for most tv- it's made for the lowest common denominator, how ever fantastic the cast is.

I think you've hit the nail on the head seashells! Am going to watch rest of series on catch up tv however.
Sharbie - I think the actress is a jimmy McGovern fave - I remember her from a good cracker and she was a bit ott in that too.

Ps pls excuse my random capitalisation. iPhone.
