The Politicians Husband…?

[recall]

Anyone watching ?

Loved it. I read an interview with EW a few weeks ago about it. I won't spill any beans but there is a sinister development looming next time...

"What a waste of red wine, though" - corny, you're my kind of person

And yes, the medical bits and bobs out on the counter were obviously meant to alarm her, make her feel guilty and let her know he was not pleased!

lol teejwood

yes he seems very controlling.

She says she took a step back for the family but maybe she'll realise that actually this is what she has always wanted.

lurcher is the sinister development linked to the twitter thing hinted at?

Nope. It's linked to...nah, I can't hint without giving it away! Maybe I'll start a new spoiler thread!

I'm guessing Aiden's controlling tendencies come further into play, lurcher?

Oh yes, tee. And how.

will that push her further away from him then?

My money's on the hair being a wig BTW - DT's hair that is.

It has helped me fill the Broadchurch gap

OK, I've done a new spoiler thread if you want to know!

I clicked the spoiler thread

I like it. Everyone thinks she's being used to get back at her husband. He's using her to get back at the cabinet. She's not going to be used by anybody because she actually wants the job. Go girl.

Okay folks I'm an hour ahead in Fr. is it worth watchingstaying up late for then? BTW i read the spoiler and I'm not sure it's very naice

Ooh glad there's a thread about this!

Even dh said what a nice house it was. Great show and they're both brilliant in this, love EW especially but isn't DT brilliant at doing nasty.

Poor Noah though, getting so stressed in the car, I almost yelled' go the right way for goodness sake' at the telly.

Can't wait for next week!

Just watched on iplayer. Very good, very Borgen

I enjoyed it as well.

The shoe thing-funny & sinister at the same time.

That he actually physically changed her shoes-bleurgh!

And why was he so upset-she had to say/imply that she didn't agree, didn't she?

And talking about a camera-"no, not really"- I think he did mean it!!

I also enjoyed it, but I think David Tennant came across a bit forced and unnatural, but maybe that's the point. Or perhaps i'm not used to seeing him play a vulpie character. I'm predicting a fling with him and the nanny.

And yes, the Theresa May line was fab. I also appreciated seeing a married couple enjoy sex. Can't remember the last time I saw this on British TV.

It was great! DT's character felt just the right side of creepy - he is so convinced that he is right it is almost messiah-ish, and the destruction of his best friend after his Judah-like betrayal...ooh!

Emily Watson is a great actor, this character is so measured and controlled in the political arena (as opposed to at home) I am on tenterhooks.

And definitely avoiding spoilers!

On again in half an hour!

Did anyone see The Politicians Wife which this is the flip side to? I think it might be the same writer (?) and had Trevor Eve, Juliet Stephenson and Minnie Driver in it. I think (I really am this vague) it was on in the early 90s and was brilliant!

Enjoying this though except I'm not keen on DTs hair (see, vague and indeed, shallow )

I'll be watching it.

I saw the Politicians Wife Mavis.

WARNING in this weeks Radio Times Alison Grahams column talks about a harrowing scene at the beginning of tonights episode which could be triggering.

What have I missed in first 5 minutes?

Did he rape her?

He anally raped her.

Uugh.

I was already finding DT's character a bit scary. Bastard.
