TizzyDongue · 16/05/2017 23:05

Is he a bad priest?

LightastheBreeze · 23/05/2017 20:14

It doesn't look like it's on, Planet earth is on instead, maybe it's postponed

cherrytree63 · 23/05/2017 20:45

I was just coming to ask about it Light, it was definitely on my guide this morning when I was checking, but now says Planet Earth is on.

RozTheSchnoz · 23/05/2017 21:00

Is it set in Manchester? I read that it had been postponed due to last night's tragic events.

Unicorn81 · 23/05/2017 21:01

Not impressed at al so far. But the church is beautiful. St Francis Xavier, a Jesuit church in Liverpool.

Saucery · 30/05/2017 21:35

I think it's quite good in a worthy BBC sort of way.

2rebecca · 30/05/2017 21:36

Is it going to be 6 episodes of unremitting misery? McGovern's Jude the Obscure? I'm not enough of a masochist to watch if so

cowgirlsareforever · 30/05/2017 21:38

Sean Bean is a good priest.

Iamtheresurrection · 30/05/2017 21:38

This is so depressing.

Toddlerteaplease · 30/05/2017 21:39

Boring and predictable.

Saucery · 30/05/2017 21:39

Haven't seen Anna Friel act this well in a long time though.

2rebecca · 30/05/2017 21:44

I don't get why she's faffing on with her mother and playing games about her death whilst her kids are waiting for her. They look old enough to have walked home when she didn't show

Toddlerteaplease · 30/05/2017 21:45

The body was not in that postition when she left her. What's she going to do when she starts to smell !
