Anyone watching?

I enjoyed it but I used to work for the police and it was unrealistic in lots of ways, including launching a big search and deploying two FLOs for missing teenagers who, in the absence of any evidence they'd come to harm, would be assumed to have run away. I also am the parent of teens who are frequent runaways, and we're lucky to get one bored looking bobby popping round hours after they've gone.
And as a pp said, the FLO wouldn't be the one to arrest the father.
I'll have to go back and watch the start again as I didn't take in what the twins were doing.

So have I understood it that the guy is unaccounted for for about an hour-outside of the knee trembler?

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/03/2019 18:52

finally seen the end :(

i had kinda hoped they would be found, well may might still find the girl .....

hope the dad/step dad didnt kill him :(

but if was a 10min shag, where was he the other 50mins

plus would she really have shagged a total stranger who she spoke to for 2 mins

but as usual love an itv drama :)

and as baptiste finshes tonight need a new one to get teeth into

Doje · 24/03/2019 21:34

Another drama based on a premise that just wouldn't bloody happen! So annoying. And would never be done if the police officer was a man shagging in an alley.

However. I will of course be watching the next five episodes. 🙈

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 25/03/2019 07:25

None of it remotely plausible and no character at all sympathetic. And the main police officer - she is shit at her job!

But now I have to watch to find out what happens. Damn you, ITV!

I watched the start again last night. The twins were going to a youth club and the girl was saying to the boy that she couldn't tell him something. It didn't really give much away.

Thanks, Honey, that saves me watching the start again!

DixieLandReject · 26/03/2019 14:59

I’m local and the accents are nothing like a a Lancs accent, they sound more Mancunian to me.

RandomMess · 26/03/2019 15:12

I haven't heard anyone says "yous" yet so def not local Grin

Drives me insane!!!

I agree the actors don't sound north Lancashire at all.

Clawdy · 27/03/2019 08:32

I always thought "yous" was Liverpudlian!

RandomMess · 27/03/2019 08:58

Sadly very alive and well around this area too, one of my teens was adamant that it is the plural of you 🙈

DixieLandReject · 27/03/2019 10:32

I’m originally from east lancs, now north lancs and have heard ‘yous’ in both areas. Highly annoying.

Honestlymaybe · 27/03/2019 16:39

Looking forward to watching this tonight

ChandelierSail · 27/03/2019 16:52

Yeah you have to ignore the inaccuracies in the plot and just go with it. I'll be watching episode 2.

AnyFucker · 27/03/2019 16:57

DixieLandReject · 27/03/2019 19:40

It is on the cheesy side but a good watch nevertheless.

So he went and shagged someone else afterwards! Eww!

UpsyDaaaisy · 27/03/2019 22:00

What a boring episode!

Twotome · 27/03/2019 22:17

Was he packing up food to take to her?

SquigglySquaw · 27/03/2019 22:17

I got very confused. I thought the guy Abbie was hanging out with is Nick Mooney. Until actual Nick appeared. So who's the other guy with Abbie? He's definitely got something to do with it and I bet Sean has killed/seriously injured Nick and it turns out he's innocent.

AnyFucker · 27/03/2019 22:27

Pretty much all the men in this programme look alike

Don't they have any blonde or ginger men in Morecambe ?

Honeyroar · 27/03/2019 22:39

I quite fancy Sean!

Yes who is Abbie lusting after, he's bad news.

Lisa made another bad decision turning her back on her kids and rushing off to work. She's not holding her life together, is she!

It's not unbelievable that she would have a one nighter (ten minute-er) with a random just because she's police, 😂 the police I know, lots thru work, are right shaggers!

What's unbelievable is that no way would she not have said to her boss that she couldn't work the case. What does she stand to lose by saying that? Nothing. A lot to lose when they find out she lied tho, why would she risk her job

Calzone · 28/03/2019 08:56

Agree with AF......all the men look the same.

A bearded bloke would help.
Ginger?
Bald?
Chubby?

Piggywaspushed · 28/03/2019 17:20

Youse is also Irish and Glaswegian, so Morven Christie owuld be familiar with it!

I do know someone from Morecambe. She doesn't sound that dissimilar to some of the actors (those that are really from the vague area). If you are North Lancs, who do you think sounds most authentic, out of curiosity?

Does Morecambe not get any generic estuary accent/ overspill effect?

At least most of the actors are at least fairly local (ish) to the area. I can't remember what I was watching recently where the accents were beyond awful. Probably something elses set in 'the North' since everyone in TV land does seem to think that is one generic accent. But it could have been 'East Anglia' aka 'The West Country'... actually, it was more than likely Broadchurch.
