Not crying as I've seen those images before. Not sure what to make of it so far.

MumInBeds · 06/02/2011 21:28

It's certainly very moving.

It was fucking amazing. The director is doing a live webchat now [http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-promise/articles/peter-kosminsky-live-qa here]].

BitOfFun · 06/02/2011 22:56

sorry

Tillyboo · 06/02/2011 23:42

I missed it & missed it on Ch4+1, forgot it was on.

Does anyone know when & if it's repeated ?

itsybitsy08 · 06/02/2011 23:42

Just finished watching on ch4+1 - can i just echo bitoffun and saw "wow"

Cannot wait until next sunday!

Cant believe this is the only thread - surely some more must have been watching?!

kittya · 06/02/2011 23:44

I think we have all been posting in the Israel chat thread instead!! Ive taped it and am looking forward to watching it tomorrow.

itsybitsy08 · 06/02/2011 23:46

Oh thanks! Will go and see what everyone else thought :)

Tillyboo · 06/02/2011 23:47

Israel chat thread ????

Help, I don't want to miss episode 1, hope it's repeated again BUT when ????? Agh !

kittya · 06/02/2011 23:49

Oh no, sorry. Its not about the actual series but people where saying they would watch it to try and understand what is going on there.

It was me that started it as I was confused as to what is going on over there and how it started.

itsybitsy08 · 06/02/2011 23:56

It looks very interesting anyway - going to leave my book for tonight and read that thread instead! Seem to have been reading/watching alot about the war/jews and after effects of the war this last week or so and i am fascinated - it is all so mind blowing.

BenHer · 07/02/2011 18:56

Just caught up with this.Absolutely fantastic.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 08/02/2011 12:36

thought it was an excellent drama and will watch it next week

rupaul · 08/02/2011 13:18

Claire Foy who plays Erin just is Anna Friel, in looks and mannerisms. Shes like her fatter identical twin.

edwardsbella · 08/02/2011 15:41

i think erin looks like bella from twilight (kirsten stewart)

mizu · 08/02/2011 20:38

Thought exactly the same rupaul, just like Anna Friel. Really enjoyed this and am lookng forward to next week.

RamblingRosa · 09/02/2011 10:40

I thought exactly the same re. Anna Friel too.
I loved it. Didn't get why the brother would be interested in Erin though. She just seemed so dim, naive, and young. If he's this great political activist (who looks a bit like Julian Assange, no?) surely he would find her really thick and boring?

RamblingRosa · 09/02/2011 10:41

PS. Don't know about fatter version of Anna Friel. She looked pretty slender to me.

rupaul · 09/02/2011 22:08

Yes you're right she did, but Anna Friel is a mere twig.

southeastastra · 11/02/2011 20:16

really good so far, am hoping this will help me understand the israeli situation fully for once!

kittya · 13/02/2011 19:44

Ive just started watching it and loving it so far but, nothing to do with politics, who paid for her to fly first class like that and, wouldnt she have needed a visa? You are right about Anna Friel, right down to the Lancashire accent

ThatVikRinA22 · 13/02/2011 21:48

fantastic drama - watching second episode now...something different from channel 4 to the usual gubbins.

you can tell its from the same bloke that did that one about Kosovo - was it called Soldiers?

PotPourri · 13/02/2011 22:48

Anyone got a link to the israel thread pls?

BitOfFun · 13/02/2011 22:51

Fantastic episode once again.

I hope that they show this in schools.
