Bit risqué!! Definitely not one to watch when the kids might wander into the lounge...

And definitely a Russell T Davies series - Queer as Folk's little brother

I was hoping their would be a thread on here tonight. Amazing if dark and heartbreaking episode. Clever having Denise Black in it too, remember her from Queer As Folk

TiredButFine · 26/02/2015 22:18

Had to search for a thread-am absolutely in tears.
Will try and avoid "spoilers" but I had to google the cast list to lift myself out of it and remember it's not real.
But that is how it happens and it does happen. Bloody love Russel T.Davis he is something else.

MehMyselfAndI · 26/02/2015 22:19

Argh, I'm completely traumatised! Horrible and heartbreaking :-(

MehMyselfAndI · 26/02/2015 22:22

That's exactly why it's so upsetting Tired it just felt so real, you can't help but think about 'real life' . Urgh, I'm not being very articulate, am too upset.

BestIsWest · 26/02/2015 22:22

I love Denise Black.
DH is devastated.

HelenaDove · 26/02/2015 22:25

Ive been watching this. Its excellent But i watch an hour later on channel 4 +1 cos Dh likes all the American comedies on E4.

I've recorded this weeks episode. Reading the comments, I best have my tissues at the ready Sad.

LidlMermaid · 26/02/2015 22:27

Very powerful episode.

I loved Lance in this episode and was really rooting for him and Henry to reconcile. Gutted by the outcome.

ElizaPickford · 26/02/2015 22:28

The trailer for next week removed any doubt as to which way that went...

HelenaDove · 26/02/2015 22:28

Loving the Eurythmics/Annie Lennox soundtrack tonight.

ElizaPickford · 26/02/2015 22:28

(Sorry, vague post to avoid spoilers!)

FlipFlippingFlippers · 26/02/2015 22:30

I really hope it gets another series. I didn't care about the characters like I did with queer as folk but I really do after tonight.

annadina · 26/02/2015 22:32

Bloody hell, half an hour behind - just wow, and I was expecting bad!! am now watching The Golden Girls for balance

LaurieFairyCake · 26/02/2015 22:35

It was so bad Sad

Im a bit gutted actually, - yes, it was funny and had some slight darkness

But this week was too much, too far from before.

In isolation it was brilliant. But not considering the rest of the series.

TiredButFine · 26/02/2015 22:36

Meh I know someone who has known it happen through their work, who confirmed how accurate the situation and main character are- said "I've seen a lot of that type". Still being vague to try not to give it away!
Having tea and biscuits to get over it.
A big well done to all for a moving and well acted/written/produced piece.

Hoplikeabunny · 26/02/2015 22:45

Oh nooooo! That was so hard to watch Sad I was confused after the ad break when C4 made the announcement about the next quarter (trying not to give anything away!), as it had never been like that before.

The trailer for next week was annoying as it leaves no doubt about the outcome of todays episode. I was hoping it would all be okay. Sad

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 26/02/2015 22:46

I thought this evening's was the last episode?

HelenaDove · 26/02/2015 22:48

OMG what a twist (the scene by the canal)

HelenaDove · 26/02/2015 22:57

OH MY CHRIST.

HelenaDove · 26/02/2015 22:58

Agree with TiredButFine Amazing production.

TiredButFine · 26/02/2015 22:59

There's an interview with Russell on Tadio Times- he says there won't be another series. I'd be upset except I've used today's upset quota up

TotalBlamBlam · 26/02/2015 23:04

Wow what an amazing episode. Totally shocked!

StaircaseAtTheUniversity · 26/02/2015 23:37

Knew there would be a thread on this. It's been more than an hour and a half now and I'm still feeling sick to my stomach. Jesus.

SycamoreMum · 26/02/2015 23:45

My heart broke. I couldn't even finish my fag after that. Sad
