I am, but I tape it and watch it during the week

I do have a tendancy to get lost in some storylines, and I did at the start of thism but think I am just about OK now!

noddyholder · 20/02/2011 22:46

MumInBeds · 20/02/2011 22:47

Yep loving it. Especially like the way it is intercut so both story lines unfold in synergy although after tonights episode I did think it might occur to Erin to read the entire diary before running off willy nilly into one if the dodgiest parts of the west bank. Also I am finding her naivity and complete ignorance of the situation there a bit hard to swallow. But the stuff set in the 40s is fascinating and Christian Cooke is hot very good. Wink

Oh yes I do like Christian Cooke!! :o

diddl · 21/02/2011 14:02

I meant to watch this & have somehow missed it!

How many parts have been on & how many are left?

said · 21/02/2011 14:04

I am loving this. Yes, was wondering last night about how come it's taking Erin so long to read teh diary Grin But, I don't find her naivety annoying. She's only 18 and she's a device to ask the questions for the viewer.

Thats true said Its not really annoying just has introduced a slight element of Hmm in an otherwise completely compelling program. Roll on next Sunday!

rocketleaf · 21/02/2011 19:39

Absolutely loving this! I've learnt so much from watching it, things I had no idea about. It really is fantastic.

womma · 21/02/2011 21:53

It's wonderful, Channel four have really pulled done us proud with this

womma · 21/02/2011 21:53

...oh, you know what I mean!

AimingForSerenity · 21/02/2011 21:56

I'm loving it too but record it and watch in the week so am always behind everybody else and confused!

southeastastra · 22/02/2011 09:09

this is still fantastic, really interesting am wondering how much is true, the kids throwing stones was awful :( so much hate

mizu · 22/02/2011 12:04

There is a lot of hate. I watch it with my DH who is Muslim and he was brought up to pretty much hate Jewish people. It is an interesting watch for both of us and I am really enjoying it.

I don't think Erin is particularly naive, I didn't have a clue about what was going on there when I was 18 that's for sure.
