FLESH AND BLOOD - starts mon 24 Feb itv 9pm

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New itv series - 4 parts - runs mon to thur

When recently widowed Vivienne announces her love for new man Mark, it throws the family of adult children into chaos

With their large family home and inheritance at risk , the siblings try to find out more about their mums new love

Sounds like the recent toy boy drama and mum meets new man ....... minus being a toy boy 😂😂

I’d have put a big old fence up there

Those houses are amazing! I am jealous.
This is similar to that gold digger programme. Middle class drama for the middle classes!

Watching it for the location, seen the Seven Sisters, the houses look like they are the bungalows at Pevensey Bay. Making me homesick.

Storyline looks ok at the moment too

Agree houses are amazing

It’s weird watching how adult children react

My mum died almost 6yrs ago. If my Dad met another older woman - not a gold digger youngster - I would be happy for him

It was filmed in and around Eastbourne and Bexhill.

Oh wow. My area - well near it

Neighbour /best friend seems cynical and maybe jealous

Slightly annoying the younger daughter having an affair with the boss that's so not been done before haha

I liked I think and think Imelda was the other woman that had the affair with the dad of the family, and it’s Stephen Rea’s body on the beach, we will see.

Blonde daughter is Pam Crocker daughter from ee

And claim to fame

Mr blondes has fished in front of that house.

I quite enjoyed it. I’ll see if I can manage the rest of the week.

I quite enjoyed it too. I’m glad they’re running it on consecutive nights, I’ve a chance of remembering! Imelda’s character is creepy. Nice theory CoolCarrie, although I hope you’ve not guessed right so soon!

I loved it - can’t wait for tomorrow night. That part where Mark caught Imelda Staunton’s character watching them with the binoculars! It gave me goosebumps

It’s good. Did Mark cause her collapse?

@CoolCarrie - that's my thinking too.

The creepy neighbour gave her cheese straws, maybe she is poisoning her.

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. Hope it gets better tomorrow night.

I was expecting Cold Feet to still be on, and then Flesh and Blood started. Never seen it before but I watched the espisode and it looks good. Looking forward to the next one.

I enjoyed it. I like all this sort of stuff.

.

Oh yes the cheese straws! Forgot about that

I quite enjoyed it, Its a grower.

I didn't think it was very good.

Full of cliched characters and rather derivative - the Imelda Staunton role was reminiscent of Notes on a Scandal. And it was very similar to Gold Digger which was on v recently.

And does Stephen Rea dye his hair? Didn't like Francesca Annis' bad dye job either.

But I'll probably watch it again tonight.

Yes, Mary is definitely creepy and potentially an unreliable narrator. She seems to be living almost vicariously through the main family's lives. How did she think she'd get away with purloining the beautiful summer dressing gown?

Excellent cast and I thought it was Francesca Annis playing the mum. She is still beautiful.

I liked it. Not amazing or anything but good enough to keep watching so far!

It was ok, bit too similar to gold digger as others have said what with outraged relatives been introduced to the new man within minutes of been told about him. Surely if you had such self centred unpleasant kids you'd warn them and give them chance for it to sink in before an awkward first meeting.

Still, for a drama I quite liked it. Imelda Staunton as an ott weird next door neighbour is funny what with wearing the dressing gown and then returning it.

Francesca Annis looks great, think she could do much better than that hunched bloke with the badly dyed hair though.
