I thought it was brilliant, although some generational shifts confused me. The lead character played by Sarah Lancashire had a grandson but didn't look old enough.

The company boss had been friends with the accountant's father, that didn't add up did it? Or did I get that wrong.

Great to see the George Costigan and Siobhan Finneran reunited although not onscreen together.

Brilliant writing and simply superb acting I thought, anybody else enjoy it?

counting down the days/hours, til tuesday.

Only one more sleep...

Nancy I'm also v

It's a long time since I've woken up in the morning actively looking forward to a TV programme. Roll on 9pm!!

Oh I can't wait.

Such a great role for SL.

Some time ago, she agreed to play the lead in a television production of one of my books and I almost died with excitement. Unfortunately, the production company couldn't raise the capital, and by the time they did, SL had committed to other projects...bitterly disappointing for me!

I'm the same Beck - this is truly event TV.

did anyone else do One of your books The Word Factory? were they any good?

slarty someone else did do it (I won't say who, as that might out me) but they weren't that great.

And I'm not just saying that because I adore SL and really wanted her to do it . Everyone involved in the project agreed that the finished article wasn't as good as it should have been.

In the end, the production company couldn't sell it to the chanel they had in mind, and it ended up being sold to a chanel no one watches (which was probably a blessing)...

It was a steep learning curve for me about selling options on my work!!!

I am also wildly excited for tonight's episode. I am very interested in the hardly seen brother - the previews suggest he is key to the plot though.

Oh god, the brother. He has revelations up his sleeve.

S Wainwright is doing a webchat after the show, it's on the BBC website.

I wonder if she'll announce about whether there's a second series.

Five minutes to go. I think the brother will blurt out that Becky slept with lots of men including Tommy and this will send Cath over the edge...

I'm scared so I thought I'd watch along with you.
We got no work done for an hour today discussing this.

Here we go!

Oohya, nearly dropped my cuppa there!

Nice son.

Hard work, families...

I don't like the sister.

I love this series but I want to brush their fringes out of their eyes!! Little things....

Why would they let Ryan start having more freedom when they know nutter is still on the loose! Totally unbelievable!

Oh no can't watch

Yes I agree, what a big flaw in the otherwise good script

I was just going to post the same Andi - you would never let him ride home at that age with that guy on the loose.

Went to answer door ... Who was dead in the flat?

Much preferred TLR in his hat and glasses shallow

I agree Ledkr, I am irrationally annoyed at that!

I can't watch
