Anyone else planning on watching this at 9pm on channel 4?

Yep, can't wait! From what I can see from the reviews it really matches up to the book.

Isadora2007 · 28/05/2017 20:21

Yes!!!!

juneybean · 28/05/2017 20:21

Yes I've been annoying the wife everytime the advert comes on by saying "I'm going to watch that"

Been a while since I read the book.

TheNumberfaker · 28/05/2017 20:25

Upside to our flights being cancelled at Heathrow yesterday... I get to watch this!

GoldSpot · 28/05/2017 20:25

Yes - I'm looking forward to it! Last night was 12 Years a Slave - possibly something uplifting tomorrow!

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 28/05/2017 20:29

Yes, I am really looking forward to it.

AdalindSchade · 28/05/2017 20:30

Can't wait!

muppet1969 · 28/05/2017 20:30

VERY excited - loved, loved the book but hated the film.... This is supposed to be fab!

alabasterangel · 28/05/2017 20:31

Yes. I'm not an Atwood fan but my DH and DM are devotees so I'm up for giving it a go. It's a 10 parter, isn't it?

AWendyAteMyFitbit · 28/05/2017 20:32

I got this copy and love the red page ends .

I've not read the book since A Levels & loved it then! Never saw the film but heard it's not great.

Haven't seen the film either, maybe that was a lucky swerve?

AdalindSchade · 28/05/2017 20:42

I enjoyed the film but it had a lot of flaws

countycouncil · 28/05/2017 20:44

I bought the book (hasn't arrived yet), should I watch tonights episode or quickly read the book first then binge watch? What a dilemma

anotherpoisonprince · 28/05/2017 20:46

I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I read the book a couple of months ago and absolutely love it.

soundsystem · 28/05/2017 20:47

Yep! Well, recording it to watch tomorrow. And rereading the book tonight! Quite excited...

weebarra · 28/05/2017 20:49

Really looking forward to it. Mentioned it to DH and he thought it was a period drama. Hmm, not quite!

MistyMinge · 28/05/2017 20:50

I've not read the book. The adverts for the show have looked good. I do enjoy a good drama on a Sunday night.

Iris65 · 28/05/2017 20:51

Not much longer to wait!

Agoddessonamountaintop · 28/05/2017 20:52

I've got my timer set on my phone to remind me!

Theimpossiblegirl · 28/05/2017 20:56

County, I would read the book first. I won't post any spoilers but I've watched the first few episodes and it's very, very good, but I was glad I'd just finished the book because of the timeline and flashbacks differing slightly.

user1482079332 · 28/05/2017 20:59

Waiting for all the episodes on catch up so I can binge. I'm to impatient to watch it week by week

AWendyAteMyFitbit · 28/05/2017 21:05

Oh it's heartbreaking already.

TheSpottedZebra · 28/05/2017 21:07

YES, I too am in.

I loved, and have forgotten the detail of, the book.

countycouncil · 28/05/2017 21:07

Thanks theimpossiblegirl, I'll wait for the book then watch it.
