Last night's was more on the black than comedic end of the spectrum; still enjoyed it. Will need to iPlayer last week's episode, wasn't sure after episode 1 tbh.

[wintera]

Oh last week's was very good. We laughed a lot at that one. One thing that's staying with me now is pronouncing the 'ensuite' bathroom 'onsweety' like in episode one.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

ooh that was creepy!!!! what a good actor sTEVE pEMBERTONIS, YOU FEEL ALL SOFT AND SORRY FOR HIM AT FIRST AND THEN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE BY THE END FROM HIS BRILLIANT ACTINg.


GAAAH! ITS EVEN AFFECTED MY CAPS LOCK! cba TO CHange it back!

what a twist at the end, didnbt see that coming. very clever writers and actors

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

reminded me of 'armchair thriller' or 'tales of the unwxpected'.

[wintera]

Yes that's what they are going for apparently, Tales of the unexpected, type of thing. Agree about Steve Pemberton being a great actor too. He was outstanding last night.

[southeastastra]

this is fab only caught half of last nights but watched the art theft on watch again, really brilliant! reminded me of tales of the unexpected too but funnier and weirder!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Tom and Gerri was really sinister. Felt so uncomfortable, brilliant.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

was just reading in tv times Reece Shearsmiths doing an ITV drama with Alex Kingston.

and of course Steve in Benidorm (don't watch that though) .

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

Is it okay that Im getting quite the crush on Shearsmith?

he seems to be flavour of the month on tv atm. 2 things hes due in on itv soon as I understand.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

He's mine!!

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

ahem! .>>gets claws out and ready for handbags at dawn>> !!

I spotted Reece Shearsmith walking round Warwick Castle. My DCs had a photo with him.

He surely has an ageing painting of himself in the attic doesn't he!

We're loving the series, the quiet episode was my favourite so far. I enjoyed Tom and Gerri least because I am uncomfortable with anything that has an ambiguous ending and leaves me unsure what was real and what wasn't (Fight Club, Inception, American Psycho - all infuriated me!). Fantastic acting all round though. Who else noticed Tom's colleague was the eunuch from Game of Thrones?

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

were not jealous !

Great that the silent episode had Charlie Chaplins granddaughter isn't it? the coincidence that CC was the king of silent comedy.

Looking forward to tonights.

I loved RS on Horrible histories with glasses on. reminded me of Kevin Spacey.

and Steve Pembertons got the most gorgeous blue eyes!

[RiffyWammal]

Oh yes - and Oona Chaplin was in GoT too! Trying to think if anyone from 'sardines' was in it now...

Sometimes I quite fancy Steve Pemberton. I heard him on Richard Bacon's show the other week and he sounded lovely.

Reece Shearsmith was ace as a ghost on Vic & Bob's House of Fools last week.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

Gaah! missed Vic and Bob! you need to tell us in advance us if and when these guys appearing anywhere!!!!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Looking forward to tonight's episode . I will be sad when the series ends.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

Hope they repeat them on BBC3 or something again. too good to be on so late. 9pm fine.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Tonight's was different again but I loved it. Steve Pemberton is doing a charity auction of his own breath in a balloon!

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

it was good but I didn't think it was brilliant and thought the ending was a bit lame.
felt a bit deflated (no pun intended!) really after the last 2 brilliant episodes.
And Reece wasn't in it! and don't really like Tamsin grieg anyway!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

The 70s style house brought back a lot of nostalgia for me!
Obviously not the death bit

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

its got loads of great plaudits AFAIK. not one word against it. theres 3 letters in Radio times praising it. it did lastweek too.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

awww. Did you see Steve on This morning? hes so lovely!!!

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

I never cease to be amazed at what a BRILLIANT actor Steve Pemberton is!

He totally makes you focus on the character, not the actor playing them IYKWIM.

last nights was brilliant again.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

He was so good in the end scenes . Reece was very Keith Drop in some of last nights.

[LetZygonsbeZygons]

don't know who Keith Drop is!

hes very good too, I just think Steve deserves a Bafta/Oscar whatever it is, hes so believable as his characters.
