Dr Foster series 3?

[TurnipCake]

It will be about James the teacher carving a life for himself in the spare room. It has been 4 years and Gemma is unaware he's still in the house

Utterly deflated. Why do writers sacrifice a story just to cash in on another series? They have made a mistake in this. At the very least I'd have liked to see Tom safe, maybe with Anna in Edinburgh, living the stable life he deserves. Waiting two years to find out what happens next doesn't appeal, my interest has finally fizzled out due to disappointment in the writing. It promised more than it delivered.

It was like they got a different writer to do each episode without telling them what the previous episode had been about, nothing seemed tied in. I thought the blonde doctor colleague would play a vital role but it’s as though they forgot about her after the second episode.

They also forgot the storyline with the hypochondriac patient,that was going somewhere then wasn't!

Yes, him too!

It's a shame it went bonkers.

Haven’t started watching series 2 yet. Is it that bad? Shall I save myself 5 or 6 hours of life by not bothering?

I would skip it.

Her mad behaviour has rubbed off so much on James he is still in the bedroom, Sat in the wardrobe rocking with the earrings.

It is rumoured there will be a series 3 that carries on showing the fallout of cheating and family breakup, But it will focus on Tom as a young adult and how he has been affected.

Gemma’s blue Hyundai deserves a BAFTA nomination considering it’s in every other scene and was probably the least batshit thing in the second series

mum If you watch it you will spend a lot of tie cringing and shouting at the TV

I did cringe and think it was batshit but I did also feel that I needed to watch it. Is that terrible.

I think the hypochondriac patient was supposed to be funny. Like light relief. Because mental illness is hilarious. 🙄

They tried it with Ros in series 1 but it desperately didn't work. I did laugh at her thanking Gemma for being her bridesmaid and it being a shame she missed the reception. Like it's totally fine the chief bridesmaid fucked off the second they stepped out of the church.

And I did not like those earrings. Did James buy them in Claire's?

The earrings were totally fug.

I think the earrings were meant to be ugly, they were obviously not her style so it was a clumsy "oh look how incompatible they are" flag

"Gemma’s blue Hyundai deserves a BAFTA nomination considering it’s in every other scene and was probably the least batshit thing in the second series..."

Ah. Makes sense Fia. She did shove them back in the box very quickly.

Ooooh - glad I've found you all again- I started a new bread in panic when there last one died at the 1000 posting mark! I had to watch in catch-up last night. What an absolutely GRIM waste of time. I think we should script them a third series on Mumsnet.
I've moved on from the "James is Old Man Steptoe" post by MargotLoves. I thought there was a definite air of Jeremy Corbyn in his gait last night.
Cannot believe we watched an hour of what was essentially child abuse! Gaaaaaaaah.

What a load of old bollocks. I was cheering her on in the first series. In this one I hated both her and her slimy ex. Awful pretend crying, awful accent, soooooo many driving scenes (why the gravel sound effects on Simon's new driveway when it's clearly paved??), such a thin plot line - even now I am wondering what actually HAPPENED in this series???

Def won't be watching series 3.

I thought the hypochondriac patient was supposed to make her look good at her job as she had a lot of patience for him.

Hi OP,

I accidentally started a thread last night, not realising yours was already up and running as the continuation from the previous (full) one.
.
There's at least another new one going too, which means everyone's scrolling through/ posting on separate threads/ missing comments. Bit confusing!

Makes sense to combine in one place, perhaps? More traffic.
As you were the originator, do you have any objection to me re-directing over to this one?

I suggested the same to OP of this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3050989-dr-foster-thread-is-full-anyone-want-to-cent-some-more?watched=1&msgid=72396563#72396563 ]

Mine's here

No worries if you'd rather not, just thought sensible to offer.

I only watched the last ep & what a load of crap it was.

She gave her ex syringes & whatever so that he could commit suicide???!!!

If they do make one I won't be watching.
The "thrilling finale" was dreadful. So bad I don't know where to start.

The only bit I liked was when the bastard ordered a double JD for his sadly not so final breakfast

@PurpleChai god yes the Hyundai 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Agree with ZuZu. Ditch my thread (it's not even grammatically correct!). I will stay out on here.
