Thank goodness for some decent TV viewing again. That's one of the few good things about winter - improved TV.

you can NOT answer the phone you know

LeBOF · 18/09/2011 22:54

I even felt a bit sorry for Scheming Thomas.

senua · 18/09/2011 22:55

Was it extra-long because it was the first one of the series? I can't be doing with giving over an hour and a half of my Sunday evening on a regular basis.

Yeah I felt sorry for Thomas too, and the other lad who was given the White feather.

Suppose they couldn't win, sign up and face the horrors of war, don't sign up and labelled a coward.

hiccymapops · 18/09/2011 23:02

I even felt a bit sorry for Thomas, but I'm sure I won't when he gets back.
