Anyone else gripped by this mini-series? I watched last weeks episode and am writing this in the break of the second episode.

It really has made me think about those headlines about people brought here to take part in the sex industry against their will. I have a hell of a lot more sympathy for them now, really is quite shocking.

Don't know how I'll get on with tonights episode though if it is going to be about children. It is awful to think of anyone going through that.

No, its a drama on Sky so will probably get repeated on Sky Two or Three. Really worthwhile watching even if it is just to realise the true extent of what goes on.

Although it is a drama it is probably closer to the truth than I'd like to think. In fact I would imagine it is watered down for tv.

Me! I'm waiting for the second episode to tape tonight cos it didn't for some reason last night.. sigh.......

Fantastic, but bloody hell... it stays in your mind.

I think that Robert Carlyle is a brilliant actor. His baddie scares me because he seems so "reasonable" iyswim.

What I found shocking was how easy it could happen. Like Elena last week, thought she was going with her new boyfriend to start a new life, walks into that building and that is that, no going back. Actually quite scary.

Second episode is a cracker by the by, can't wait for next week!
