Wanderlust

Anyone looking forward to watching this tonight? 9pm on BBC1.
It's a co-production with Netflix, starring Toni Collette (Muriel's Wedding , The Sixth Sense).

Apparently it's the naughtiest drama to grace the BBC! They've said they are ready for a swarm of complaints..

Husband’s reaction to her confession was funny though. It’s ok for me but not you.,
!

Marvin has been in lots of things : none of which I can recall.

yep that was about right! he was getting on my wick.

Any Manchester about around? The area where she lives looks like Whalley Range but could be Withington.

Music was similar to keeping faith music! I gave up on that early on.

I told my Mum to watch it, didn't realise it was all about sex.. haha!

Marvin was in Where the Heart Is, Waterloo Road and Clocking Off.

@The80sweregreat you were wise to give up on that one. pfft!

Now: is your mum broadminded?
Mine would not have been impressed and written to Mary whitehouse ( look her up if your young!)

Yeah she is The80sweregreat luckily haha!

Going to look up Mary Whitehouse now!

She used to campaign for ‘smut’ to be taken off air, no sex scenes etc,
Long time ago now.

Thought it was rubbish. All the hype. It can't decide if it's serious or a comedy and falls short of each.

Predictable and lazy writing in the first episode but I'll give it another go next week.

can't help thinking Mary Whitehouse was right....

I found it tedious and a bit cringey. Not bothering to watch any more.

I found it depressing! Basically they’re bored of eachother sexually. Watching their failed sex attempt at the beginning and when she got dressed up ...cringe. I guess that was the point

I’m gonna keep watching though

Well i watched it and won’t bother again. I hated the small talk, the conversation she has with cake lady , too many quiet moments and the therapy couple at the start.

Boring!

it seemed odd and desperate to be different.

Having such a big celeb in it though must have been a real scoop for the BBC - considering that Netflix is so profound now and usually gets the big names. Shame the script is a bit clunky.
i will carry on with it though.
( i did say that about keeping faith and gave up on that, so have to see)

I liked it! It reminded me a bit of The Slap. I love their house and now I want a wooden office in the garden to toss off strange men in.

Toni Collette is mesmerising in everything and I have a soft spot for Steven Mackintosh and his sad baggy eyes

Seeking

he does have sad baggy eyes

Watching now

I got your comment @80’s. You and are often on the same wavelength 😂😂

So it’s abour wanking and lack of sex yet she’s a sex /relationship counsellor

Tho Havnt seen it all

So I want to

How do they afford the amazing houses on teacher's salaries, with the big garden offices!

Plus - do swimming pools really go purple - I thought that was a myth!

Only if have a chemical in them
