Three Girls (BBC 9pm)

[ASauvingnonADay]

Looking forward to watching this tonight. Feel it might be one to watch with your teenagers..

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Harrowing
Those men are disgusting pigs preying on vulnerable young girls.

I love Maxine Peake , she's amazing whatever she's in.

I'm struggling to watch it.

So sad.

very sad.they have no one.

Social Services woman fuck Off .

Very very hard to watch. Hideous to think these girls went through this and lots of others going/have gone through it too.

Awful harrowing. Making me feel sick.
Those poor girls.

God. This is harrowing

I dont think I can watch two more episodes of this.

I am struggling with the dramatic narrative though..it's not clear why these girls were in the grip of these bastards and kept going back. I know the reality of it but the way this is filmed is quite clunky...they are unhappy and know their situation is wrong but kept going back long before the threats were made against them ( NB I'm not questioning what happened in real life I'm just saying I don't completely understand how it is being portrayed)

Primadonnagirl
Threats were made against holly the first time she was raped. Then when she tried to leave threats were made to her family and her little sisters. She's fucking terrified. And no one is listening. That's why she keeps going back.

That was very sad.

Awful. Powerful. Well done BBC.

It was really hard to watch the girl on the child protection register being left behind.

Very powerful piece of television. I don't know if I can watch the next two.

Maxine Peake! Absolutely brilliant performance.

Harrowing watch but this story NEEDS to be told.

Harrowing and horrific. I'm not sure if I can watch any more.
I have to agree with PrimaDonna that, in parts, I didn't see the grooming elements and threats being portrayed, although there were undertones.

I'm horrified that this happened, it's just unspeakable really. Services failed these girls.

Very disturbing

I think the reasons as to why they went. Can are murky because, it was murky and complicated and they were children who couldn't see what we can see. They didn't know how to handle it.

It's a powerful watch and had made me sick to my stomach.

Harrowing to watch. I really cannot understand how inept social services were. I work in this area and I just can't understand how these girls were desperately let down by social services and the police. Absolute disgrace

• work in child protection area not Rochdale area in case that was confusing

Dulra I work in social services too and sadly, because services are still being cut and because we still don't hear those who we really need to hear and because we still make pre-conceived judgments about girls, I can understand how this happened.

I think the 'why would you go back' question was explained and portrayed brilliantly. Confused, terrified and vulnerable.

Those poor girls
