I'm sorry but does anyone else just piss themselves during the trailer when Eve Whatserface says "I need a man as strong as I am" and the man says "where on earth will you find one of those?"
Cringeworthy cliche central...

Predictable. Yes, that's the word. Very lightweight. And clunking.

ExitPursuedByABear · 04/06/2013 21:43

Surely they don't provide their own transport?

smokinaces · 04/06/2013 21:45

Yes exit. Very common. All the health visitors I have worked with in ten years have too. They have an option to pay leasehire through the nhs, but they have to provide their own vehicle in some way or nother.

I love the Scottish nurse!

ExitPursuedByABear · 04/06/2013 21:48

Do they get mileage?

XBenedict · 04/06/2013 21:49

Oh yes if you need to travel within the job you need your own car and obviously these nurses travel a lot!!

XBenedict · 04/06/2013 21:49

Yes you get mileage.

smokinaces · 04/06/2013 21:51

Yes you do get mileage. But obviously any finance or lease is mega costy because of their mileage figures.

One health visitor I knew bought at auction - got best she could cheap as she could, ran it in and ran it out until she did it again.

smokinaces · 04/06/2013 21:52

Scottish nurse is so evidently in love with frankie

Horsemad · 04/06/2013 22:02

Who was the guy in the trailer for next week who keeps calling into work for her? Was it the guy from the assisted suicide case?

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 04/06/2013 22:02

I loved the bit where the woman having the scan that was convinced she'd lost the baby suddenly heard the heartbeat. Her delighted face was a picture. Made me go all 'awwwwwww'! Smile

smokinaces · 04/06/2013 22:07

Yes, was the assisted suicide husband.

Horsemad · 04/06/2013 22:09

Ooh, we might see the lovely Golden Retriever again Grin

ExitPursuedByABear · 04/06/2013 22:12

I cried at the heartbeat moment

rufussmum · 05/06/2013 19:31

How can a senior nurse get pissed every night then go to work with a hangover? Stuffing her face with junk food - battered sausage last night - and necking wine from the bottle? She could lose a kilo or two.
What's with the bumping down the stairs in her pjs, she spends a lot of time in her pjs? Is she supposed to be Bridget Jones type? Chucking peanuts into her mouth like a big kid. The 'I'm whacky, me' act is too much for me. Won't be watching next week. I think.

SpanishFly · 05/06/2013 23:14

I agree. It gets under my skin, the constant wackiness and the constant "she's the only one who understands what the patients are going through" type of thing. I read a review that described this weird extreme personality as coming across as borderline deranged Smile

cheerfulweather · 07/06/2013 19:43

If she didn't sing, dance or smile, or behave in that ditzy manner, she might be marginally less annoying. Does seem she's supposed to be a maverick but she just comes across as flakey, over- emotional and indecisive.

Some of the other characters could add to it if brought out more, and Frankie toned it down. I swore I'd stop watching after the first week but I'm still here.

XBenedict · 11/06/2013 21:17

Anyone watching this week or have you all given up on her? Grin

smokinaces · 11/06/2013 21:26

I'm here. Liking the older nurse showing her caring side, but think it will fuck up and surrogacy mum will nick back baby.

Disliking Paula.

I like frankie. I like her wackiness and talking to the radio and stuff. Probably cos I act similarly.

smokinaces · 11/06/2013 21:32

Ah Paula has just taken the termination pill hasn't she?

smokinaces · 11/06/2013 21:33

A new style mini for .£2K?? Where?!!!!

XBenedict · 11/06/2013 22:11

So who is the stalker? The GP?

smokinaces · 11/06/2013 22:13

Well so far the options are:

The GP
Andy
Joseph
Ian
Paula

Not sure out the list tbh who is most unhinged!!

BoreOfWhabylon · 11/06/2013 22:59

Not convinced that Paula was ever pregnant.

My money is on the GP as being Crazed Stalker.

Frankie continues to be spectacularly irritating.
