I think this series will be very emotional and thought provoking with a deffo brill cast.

So I think it will deffo be worth watching

So have I - our paths haven't crossed before though

The op looked like a blatant plug from an over enthusiastic pr, that's all

LineyReborn · 20/09/2016 21:40

Julie Walters is amazing as ever.

The80sweregreat · 20/09/2016 21:52

The daughter is very odd, did she suggest that he injured someone really badly? He is very dodgy.
Love JW, she is very good.
Its very edgy.

LineyReborn · 20/09/2016 21:56

The daughter was describing a dream, I think.

LineyReborn · 20/09/2016 22:02

That was really good.

Bloodybridget · 20/09/2016 22:03

Gosh, it's good, isn't it? Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters both such brilliant actors. But I don't believe the police officer would have loudly announced the allegation of rape on their doorstep.

SaoirseLikeInertia · 20/09/2016 22:03

Oh that was gritty! I think I might have to watch it again, I reckon I missed some bits of dialogue

EsmesBees · 20/09/2016 22:07

Interesting opener. Think JW does quiet rage very well.

The80sweregreat · 20/09/2016 22:08

Quiet rage, a good summing up of her character in this!

Salutarychoring · 20/09/2016 22:12

I missed more than bits of dialogue! The sound was so echoey I could hardly hear it.

RTKangaMummy · 20/09/2016 22:12

Oblomov thank you

That was very very powerful and very brave subject for the actors who are themselves (as RC & JW) "National Treasures"

I also thought the camera direction was very good and different

I really think it is going to be interesting how our emotions change thru the 4 episodes

I think Dee might have been describing a mixture of a dream & RL but not sure cos of her memory loss

I think RC character is dark but not sure if he is totally guilty ATM

Enjoyed this tonight. Agree don't think the copper would have loudly announced the allegation on the doorstop, and she seemed far too chirpy and animated in the interview. Almost like she was doing a lighthearted daytime tv show.

Anyone know how many parts it is?

Salutarychoring · 20/09/2016 22:13

Great acting though!

RTKangaMummy · 20/09/2016 22:14

It is a 4 parter

Yes, 4, once weekly. I loved it. I feel so sorry for poor Cliff Richard who had to put up with all of this and was entirely innocent.

HatePaperDoll · 20/09/2016 22:17

Really powerful performances. Interested to see how the story develops.

RTKangaMummy · 20/09/2016 22:20

Watching it again on 4 + 1 now to check out anything I missed

OP posts:
LineyReborn · 20/09/2016 22:22

I think it's about celebrities crossing the line. Whose line is it, when does it get crossed, and who cares and ultimately makes that moral judgement?

Who claims to be moral but turns a blind eye when it's in their interest to do so?

Who simply doesn't know what to do or say?

The fucked up daughter is so tragic.

indecisivedoctor · 20/09/2016 22:56

'Twas very dark and edgy. Will prob give it one more week but can't say am hooked. Great acting though.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 20/09/2016 23:39

Enjoyed it but found all the arty shots towards the end a bit annoying. And surely no one would choose that doorbell, like nails on a blackboard.

NoahVale · 21/09/2016 07:35

He is not a very nice person
cant believe he stayed away from home the Night he is called in for questionning.

Merrylegs · 21/09/2016 14:36

The 'door' and 'hallway' were very well cast - studio or real? In fact the house was very interesting altogether - I wonder if it was an amalgamation or all one thing.

Lottapianos · 21/09/2016 14:46

I agree - I got such a sense of dread every time that doorbell rang!

mintthins · 21/09/2016 14:54

I am not handling Robbie Coltrane being a bad guy at all well. Even if he didn't do what he has been accused of, the way he is treating lovely Julie Walters is horrible.

Lottapianos · 21/09/2016 14:58

He does come across as a horrible character mintthins. We know for sure that he's a liar and a cheat, and vain and insecure as well. There was something very unsettling about the scene with his daughter, and his reaction when she described her dream where he had been sexually inappropriate with her. Lots more to be revealed clearly. Thought all the acting was wonderful.
