I like it, so far. Feel like its abit like Homeland, in that the actress playing the wife looks too young.

I think Billie Piper is great and very beautiful.

So disappointed with this too. Trailer looked very impressive and I like a lot of the actors involved too. Really great cast but it's just awful. Some directors can do improv really well and bring out the best in the actors, like Shane Meadows for instance. But this just looks like they haven't been guided at all.

And although the actors are a good bunch, some are just mis-cast in their roles. The kids in the first one were far too old for instance. And Lacey Turner and Vicki McLure as sisters? Both using their own accents? Major disbelief there!

I've just watched both episodes and I was hugely dissappointed.

The trailers made it look as if it was going to be excellent, but the actual shows were very poor

OH I MISSed the bit where he gave her money, the carpet salesman? gavethe blonde girl money and then never saw her again. plus if i hadnt read that Stacey didnt want sex with him, i wouldnt have known. not really. it wasnt made clear enoughp
it was sad for him in that respect that he stayed, in a sexless marriage. dont spose i will be watching tonight, too tired, but may catch on iplayer.

Id be a darn sight more impressed if a tv drama showed a woman coping in a sexless marriage for a change. Dont suppose something like that is ever going to be shown on tv though.

Bit slow tonight....

Flossie69 · 19/06/2012 22:52

but quite obvious which way its going

LeB0F · 19/06/2012 22:54

Here we go with the angsty silences and the Homes Under The Hammer expositional music...

LST · 19/06/2012 22:55

Argh!! The fakness is cringeworthy!!!

carernotasaint · 19/06/2012 22:56

still involves another married man cheating on his wife.

LST · 19/06/2012 23:00

It does carer they sorta snuck that one in didn't thee!

LST · 19/06/2012 23:03

Really....... WTF.

Sleepydog · 19/06/2012 23:04

Was that it ? Confused

theliverpoolone · 19/06/2012 23:06

that was the worst so far. The girl was ok, but Billie Piper's acting was dreadful! And she was a rubbish teacher, no shred of authority.

noddyholder · 19/06/2012 23:07

I preferred that to teh other 2

Sleepydog · 19/06/2012 23:11

Preferred this to the other two ! Shit what on earth were they like !

EclecticShock · 19/06/2012 23:18

Saw the one tonight... Didn't think much of it. Should I bother to watch the first two?

TheNightWatch · 19/06/2012 23:26

She's a terrible actress. I've never got her.

God, having watched tonight's am not going to bother with anymore.

Load of bollocks. The whole scenario was bordering on daft - but the end just topped it for me with it's ridiculousness.

TheNightWatch · 20/06/2012 00:03

Can someone summarise so I can delete? Was it the same crap music as well?

So you can sleep with whoever you want, married man, student, whoever and whilst things may get a little unpleasant you will end up walking away triumphantly with the schoolgirl (FFS) you love. Whatever.

LST · 20/06/2012 08:11

Can't wait for it to end! I don't understand what the 'moral' of the story is ... Confused

slartybartfast · 20/06/2012 08:16

somehow i think the acting was better here, and i like billie piper. but the ending, stupidly unrealistic.

slartybartfast · 20/06/2012 08:18

this is a disappointing series. the other one they did, tht was on every night, was really good. all different sides of the same story were told. unless this is related in some way, i think billie piper's married man's wife is going to have an affair. if i recognised him correctly. but does this relate to the first couple and the second?

BezzieMate · 20/06/2012 08:32

Bored to tear by last night's one. Billie is gorgeous and there were glimmers of good acting there, but the script and the whole narrative was just weak. There us no real story. These are 90 minute stories squashed in to 30 mins with bad results.
