Does anyone fancy White Heat tonight at 9pm?

[BrightnessFalls]

I really like Clare Foy. Its supposed to be the new Our Friends in the North. I doubt it can top that though.

I'm watching! What do you think, so far?

The script is awful. Have had to stop watching.

Got bored have now turned over.

Turned it on at the end, looked like it might have been ok, but after reading this, maybe not.

oh, i think it was ok, what else has she been in. bit obvious she was gagging for it, free love and all that.

I enjoyed it but would the word 'shag' have been used in 1965??

Looking forward to episode 2!

It's a bit slow but I enjoyed looking at the retro decor - reminds me of my childhood.

I quite liked it BUT the art teacher said "Go and work it off in the gym" - did people go to the gym in 1965? and 'shag' too -really?

I don't like Clare Foy and she's in everything atm - she has the same blank facial expression wether she is masturbating in 1965 or running through the streets of Israel

Love the decor though

I quite liked it too, it it's a bit didactic IMO. I do remember parties like that valium yes we had gyms in schools in 1965/6 But not ones on the street that EVERYONE went to with cafes and pools and carpet etc. Just sweaty body builder type blokes IYSWIM. i'm trying to remember if we said shag (I was a bit young to say it but I think it's a VERY old expression)!

IKWYM about Ms. Foy's expression she's another like Romola Garai who happens to be flavour of the month with the producers. I love Juliet Stevenson and I didn't 'get' them turning up at a very clean house with yellow tape round a room that had their 60s wall paper cleanly underneath another layer.

Was a bit slow but I will give it a second chance next week - I think it might get better. I thought about the 'gym' comment too!

Of course, she was in that Israel drama. I knew I recognised her rather bland face!

it was ok but a bit cliched I feel.

Not got the sixties feel for me,and too clunking when they try to get it right. will watch next week though! Not being cattybut there is no way Juliet Stevenson could have looked like that when she was young!

The party was the only time I thought it had the right 60's 'feel' clawdy and as you said Ms. Foy and Ms. Stevenson had no resemblance at all; also J.S. can act !

was gonna catch up with the 2nd episode on iplayer today

was it worth it?

I'm enjoying it. Jack reminds me looks wise of Miles in that programme i watched years ago with Egg and the lawyers. (Can't remember name.)

I'm a bit confused as to what year it is supposed to be to start off with. I presume it must be the eighties as they keep saying 'twenty years ago' and Juliet S looks young.

Blink and you'll miss Julian Barrett as the Art teacher.

I am having fun looking at the errors. A student would not have taken a colour photo in 1965, it would have been black and white!

I think Clare Foy can act - I've just being watching her as Persie in Upstairs Downstairs and it's quite difficult to see that it's the same person.

However, I don't like White Heat and won't be watching any more. I'm glad I was too young to remember 1965, if that's what it was like (Andy Pandy, anyone?)

bringback-This Life.

This life is being shown on Sony channel - it's still fab!

I'm still enjoying White Heat, it's not gripping but it's good Thursday night viewing.
