A Confession - ITV

[southeastdweller]

Anyone else going to watch this tonight?

There's a two part "Someone Knows Something" true crime pod cast done on the subject to tie in with the series.

A very sad story.

I love Siobhan Finneran but she is Northern and she sounds it a lot : it keeps coming through.

It's back to that same conversation we had about that thing set in Boston with the dreadfully wrong accents.

Dialect coaches are a thing : it's a job. Do they not employ them any more? Do the y think people don't notice?

There are plenty of west Country actors.

That aside, I thought it was good but thought Little Boy Blue and the one about Levi Bellfield were better, mainly because the leads were so effective and affecting in those.

Saw the first episode, quite liked it.
Is the whole series up on itv player or is it week by week?

@piggywaspushed do you remember what the Levi Bellfield one was called? Didn't see it and would be interested to watch it

I've forgotten but will find out!

Manhunt. Bad name,fab series.

Any idea when it is on, please?

Thank you! Found it on Amazon prime. Going to watch tonight :)

Let me know what you think!

I meant @Clawdy. She didn’t reliese jt died

But if she watched it she would have seen /heard he hung his self

Should be called confusion not confession 🙀🙀😂😂

I am from the West Country. I don’t have a West Country accent but my dad does and I can easily slip into one.
I had a dialect coach tell me I was doing it wrong. The way she wanted me to speak was generic ‘yokel’ and far too East Anglia.

There's a two part podcast from "They Walk Amoung Us" about this very case. It's about 2 hours in total. Very in-depth.

The whole case is shocking. Very much a case of "What would you have done?". From listening to snippets of interviews with Martin Freeman's character I don't recall a Swindon accent. But I will admit I haven't watched the programme yet so don't know if he's trying for one!

Anyone watching tonight? Don't want to post spoilers yet lol

Yes I’m watching

I really recognise the actress who played Ray Haywoods wife who is she?! Driving me mad lol.

@westcountrychicken
@Italiangreyhound

It’s the most recent episodes of the ‘they walk among us’ podcast, not someone knows something, and yes it’s excellent

Lisa Faulkner?

@Xmasbaby11 yes thank you! Just googled her must be eastenders I recognised her from

I am really enjoying this series.

She is probably most famous for her dreadful demise in Spooks,and for being Mrs John Torode, which was quite the scandal.

Gripping episode.

The whole thing with the crack was so very sad.

I might give up and Google and just listen to the podcast.

The accents are ruining it for me and I don't get the connection between Imelda Staunton's situation and the missing girl's family.

This is excellent so far, it's very tense, well acted (I'm not distracted by accents). Martin Freeman is great.

Mrs Pellegrino - I was confused about that, but I googled the real case and it all became clear. I won't say as it is a spoiler but it helped me understand where the programme is going.

I don't get the connection between Imelda Staunton's situation and the missing girl's family.

It will become clear if you keep watching.

@MrsPellegrinoPetrichor it's very relevant! I'm sure it will become clear.

I'll keep watching then, I hate having to wait a whole week for the next episode,I have the memory of a gold fish!
