The Syndicate

[MintChocAddict]

Is it filmed in Scarborough?

[StepfauxWife]

It's so bad but I can't help but watch it!

[Pud2]

Well I really enjoyed t bs found it really emotional! Love Anthony Andrews and there are some other good actresses too.

Misstiredbuthappy - painting turned out to be fake. Lady of the house and rouge son have sold it. Housekeeper and daughter are using some of their money to save the house. Mum of missing girl offered a reward to help find her.

[NoahVale]

am watching against my better judgement.
are we meant to find Lenny Henry funny?

it is ridiculous.
And would they seriously be celebrating winning the lottery when her daughter could be dead?
and the wicked new wife and Spencer.

[notsogoldenoldie]

Loving Anthony Andrews! Anyone know who the ctress is who plays his dodgy wife? She looks familiar........

[loveliesbleeding1]

She was in spooksgolden,was the cid woman married to mike Baldwin?.

[notsogoldenoldie]

Ah! Spooks....great to see so many "Rent a Northerner" actors out in force. I thought the Cid woman may be Carla Corrie's sister! The red-haired one is in Stella (or was) and the mum is in Corrie too, as the allotment owner. Lennie Henry's getting on my pip. I'm enjoying it, albeit against my better judgement.

Anyone remember Fat Friends? I loved that!

[MitzyLeFrouf]

I really enjoyed the last series, this one isn't half as engaging.

[loveliesbleeding1]

Fat friends was great, it must be time for a re-run on drama channel by now.

[GemmaTeller]

I usually like Kay Mellor dramas but, flipping heck, the acting's bad in this one!

[eeyoredebbie]

CID woman was in Mistresses and Mr Selfridge

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

She was in prisoners' wives too which I loved.

[TealFanClub]

did no one else find this REALLY BAD

shit acting, cliche story etc

[TealFanClub]

Kay mellor seemingly SO out of touch here

[Emiliasmumtobe]

The posh woman is played by Alice Krige who was Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact.

[Oblique27]

This got even more annoying this week, I shall give it up.....there is really almost NOTHING worth watching on terrestrial TV these days...sigh

[oneowlgirl]

I really enjoyed it

[MissBattleaxe]

I liked it too. Key Mellor still writes good watchable telly. Polly walker is the cid woman. Did anyone see her in a BBC film called Enchanted April? She was stunningly beautiful and still is

[MrsEmmaPeel]

The Syndicate. Series one. Brilliant! Matthew McNulty is so sexy.

Series Two. Good, but not as good as the first series.

Series Three. Watched ten minutes of it and thought it was total shite. So far-fetched, with the Downton slant.

Hasn't it been two years since the second series was shown? Either way Kay Mellor is flogging a dead horse now.

[MissBattleaxe]

Well I'm enjoying it!

[MadauntofA]

Oohhhh teenage bunnyboiler!

[bluebump]

It's taken me forever to realise that Mary is played by the girl from a cbbc programme that my DS loves.

[2rebecca]

I think the American lad who was flirting with her has got her. He disappeared at the same time. The Americans are maybe conmen.
Don't see why they want to buy the mansion to keep the old posh bloke happy. Suspect the stepson was right when he says he sold some stuff just to pay the upkeep and wife wanting to sell it and buy somewhere warm and small and travel sensible

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

This episode was much better. But hope Lenny Henry reaches an untimely end in the tractor.

[hollyisalovelyname]

I missed the last ten minutes last night.
What happened please ?
I think you might be right about the young American.
You do have to suspend disbelief watching though - how could you possibly think of lottery win, saving Downton ( oops) when your daughter is missing !!!

[MissBattleaxe]

But hope Lenny Henry reaches an untimely end in the tractor That's horrible!

What I don't understand is why Anthony Andrews doesn't want anyone to buy the house and make it a golf club, but is OK with selling the house to be a cookery school. I thought he didn't want to sell the house at all? And by the way, he is still dreamy.
