Ordinary Lies ... BBC1 9PM

[GetHappy]

I think I'll give this a go .. anyone else??

Your post just reminded me of a story. When I was at sixth form a lad told me he was going to run away. When he didn't turn up for a few days I was genuinely concerned but none of his mates took me seriously. Then I found out that he was just playing truant and hanging out in the youth centre. Wasn't impressed at all esp as I was close to ringing the police!

Or an ex (also at sixth form) who told me that he had a serious brain disease and if I broke up with him it'd kill him. After an argument he "fainted" and wouldn't open his eyes, we had to call and ambulance. He later got a real telling off for wasting the paramedics time cos he was putting it all on.
Weird times!

watched and enjoyed, felt sorry for the red head he bedded, esp as obv still with his wife, fine lie about her dying, but dont sleep with someone else, if wifey finds out about that she may still leave him

didnt think much of michelle keegan acting, think her big part is next week, so will be the big test .......

I enjoyed it

Anyone watching tonight's episode?

Me!

I think It's all quite realistic, even the dead wife part. Enjoying it!

God I feel stressed!!!

Much prefer this week's episode. Quite exciting. Last weeks plot was a bit silly.

Great episode again!!

very impressed with Michelle Keegans first role since leaving corrie!!

Look forward to next week's show!!

I like this series. Roll on next week.

It was good, I am not keen on Michelle Keegan usually, ( she appeared a bit stand offish on the breakfast show the other morning) but I thought she did well. I don't watch Corrie, was struck how much she looks like Cheryl Cole!
I know nothing about drugs or smuggling etc, but now I can gather why certain ones have nicknames like Shit and brown!!
I wonder what Mackensie crooks story will be - that dog was lovely, although would they let in a big place like that with the public milling around?? It is growing on me. Much better than Truckers! ( and max beesley is still good looking too)

I enjoyed it too and found it quite tense st times. Poor stitched up friend stuck in foreign jail!! Thought Michelle Keegan carried it pretty well.

Sally Lindsay's episode looks good next week too.

Are they separate episodes? Or do they all link together?

Bit of both Nativity. Seem to be couple of ongoing plot lines running thru every episode, like Bev's missing husband. But then each epidode focuses mainly on one particular character's problem with other characters in the background.

Did enjoy - seemed to be able to act and gawd she is slim !!!!!

Wonder what will happen to her friend and seems last weeks episode that nothing was done after his big lie

Lovely dog :)

Wonder what the other lady lied about? Obv was seeing her hubby / wonder why she has now confessed

The mere fact of there being no murders or maverick detectives involved is a big plus to me. Up with this sort of thing!

Not thought of it that way Boswell, but totally agree - need more 'normal' shows on telly with average people (although arguably Michelle Keegan couldn't be classed as average given how beautiful she is, but you know what I mean!).

Other than Corrie & Greys Anatomy, everything I'm watching at the minute contains murder or hardcore criminals! This is nice easy viewing!

Love this show

Tonight's is great. Who else is watching?

Oh god, this week's is making me really uncomfortable. He's such a sleaze!

Football is on here will watch when get control of the TV again!

I'm watching. It's quite compelling.

I love this series.

Wow! Just wow! What a story that was. Looks like there's loads of other stories brewing too.
