I might have just SQUEEEEED loudly at the TV.
Series 1 and 2 of Bodies (Jed Mercurio series with wall to wall super dishy cast inc Max Beesley) I adored it first time round and am rewatching ASAP

Like Casualty meets Line of Duty. Fabulous

I didn't see it first time round. Really compelling viewing. Feel like I'm too familiar with max beesley's arse though.

AntiHop · 17/04/2019 21:57

damediazepam his oily hair really bothered me too! Much better when he cut it short.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/04/2019 21:59

I wondered if it's just because we're used to seeing such polished actors on the screen these days?

Purplemond · 18/04/2019 21:40

im enjoying watching it mid way through series 2 im surprised it stopped at 2 series
i didnt realise keith allen was married to his registrar i thought they had good chemistry on screen

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/04/2019 21:44

I didn't either,there was definitely a spark,wasn't there ?

I am missing it, it was SO good!

Thanks to this thread I've spent the past week re-watching series 1 and 2 (off work for 2 weeks). Loved it the first time round and enjoyed it just as much this time. I'd forgotten how it ended though - very sad.

RaininSummer · 22/04/2019 00:06

Really enjoyed this and gutted to find that there were only 2 seasons. Maz Beasley is gorgeous in it. I am rather terrified of hospitals now though.

bumblebee1987 · 22/04/2019 00:13

I've just binge watched the whole two series in about a week...bad idea as I'm having a baby next week, haha! (Great maternity leave viewing though!)

WarIsPeace · 22/04/2019 00:32

I'm so glad I posted this now and you've all got to enjoy it too
Bloody great wasn't it.

Thanks WarIsPeace. I did check iPlayer every now and again but had given up hope. Gutted I've watched them all now though. ☹️

AnyFucker · 23/04/2019 22:55

What did we reckon to the ending ?

Don't want to post a spoiler...but did Rob have that thing he was convinced he had ?

And is it wrong to fancy Patrick Baladi ?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 23/04/2019 23:04

SPOILER ALERT

I think he did have it and it was from the scalpel Hurley jabbed him with. So he fucked him yet AGAIN.

shatteredandstressed · 24/04/2019 00:10

Completely went off Patrick Baladi after he played this character. So incompetent and no insight at all. It's a great series -very realistic.
Jed Mercurio did Medicine at Birmingham.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 24/04/2019 00:14

He really does "look like a gay Bobby Ewing" Grin

TooStressyTooMessy · 24/04/2019 07:39

I haven’t rewatched it yet but I like to think he didn’t have it .

It’s not wrong to fancy Patrick Balardi Grin.

WarIsPeace · 24/04/2019 07:57

It is mandatory to fancy Patrick Baladi and Keith Allen and MaxB in this despite him being an utter bastard

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 24/04/2019 09:08

Max was quite sweet with his little short legs Smile

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 24/04/2019 09:23

I saw Keith Allen in a play last year, my Godfathers, that man can act! His stage presence was electric

JessMariano · 24/04/2019 11:09

Yes I’d never seen Keith Allen in anything before, I wasn’t entirely sure what he actually did apart from occasionally be in the tabloids and being Lily Allen’s father. But he’s excellent! Why isn’t he in more stuff? Or does he do more theatre?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 24/04/2019 11:15

m.imdb.com/name/nm0020717/

He's done loads!

Was recently a life model in Celebrity Painting Challenge Grin

Yourownpersonaljesus · 24/04/2019 12:21

SPOILER

I think he did have it. I didn't like the fact that he had a relationship (and baby) with Polly. I had a thing for Max Beesley when he was in this - though I think it was more his character than him. Did anyone see him on the One Show last night? They mentioned Bodies. He was on it with his dad and seemed lovely.

Herland · 24/04/2019 12:26

What did he inject with Donna with before they shagged in series 2? That scene came out of the blue a bit.

EntirelyAnonymised · 24/04/2019 12:33

Patrick Baladi was the one I had the hots for in this, despite the character he played. Beesley was just a greasy, fat fingered oik.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 24/04/2019 12:35

Pethadine I think. At the time I seem to remember there being lots of talk about how many people in health care were using IV drugs so seemed apt.

DinaCaliente · 24/04/2019 12:59

Just binged watched as I love LOD.

Bent Doctors instead of Bent coppers!

Really enjoyed it, it's a shame there were only the two seasons.
