LIFE TUE 9pm Bbc 1 - watching weekly at BBC1 pace *edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Looks good - reminds me of 5 bedrooms

Good cast

Alison Steadman and Peter Davison star as couple Gail and henry who live in a big house but divide it into flats when their children leave gone

She meets a school friend from years ago who is suprised gail hasn’t done more with her life then ‘be a mum’

And now she wants to do stuff at 70

Also staring Adrian lester (hustle)

Plus belle left her cheating hubby Neil and moved into a flat in the house

Alison Steadmans work is always good, I’m enjoying it so far.
Currently binge watching so on episode 4 now.
I recognise David , wasn’t he on Soldier Soldier amongst other things?? The Bill too I think.

David was also in Hustle, of course!

Yep hustle. I said that in my original post

He’s lovely !!

Anyone watch last nights

Yes the baby's mum's boyfriend is really pissing me off
And the baby's mum and dad are pissing me off because they're not communicating
And the horrible husband is pissing me off and his grown up children are too as they don't seem to be able to see what he's like!
I do actually like the programme I'm just pissed off by these people!

All of them are pretty horrible really!
Andy is sweet. Not keen on Bella's niece or the sister or Gail and Henry or their children or Liam. I like Hannah!

Oh I love Gail. Its like she has been an amazing mum and wife and its only realising how shit she has it with him. She plays the part so well. The girk stalking her maths tutor who is only weeks after losing her life is a bit too much (but both of them play their parts so well)

Why did he tell her about his affair ?

I’ve just watched episode 1 so a bit of catching up to do.
Anyone know where the stunning lakeside lodge was that David’s character went at the beginning? Looked serene.

Why did he tell her about his affair?

Because in his head everything is about him.
He wanted to absolve himself - no guilt.
He didn’t care how much it would hurt her - it wasn’t an apology. He wasn’t thinking about her, only himself.
Awful man.

True @Lolaloveslemonade

Abs poor kids knowing as well

He’s an arse !!!

As is new bf of baby mum

Jealous abs insecure

I hope she dumps him and gets back with baby daddy

It's not the house in Years And Years. That one is round the corner from me! This one is in Cheadle.

Anyone still watching at bbc 1 pace

Just seen e3

I am not binge watching but not seen this week's yet

I didn’t think a lot really happened

Unless it went over my head

A lot happened in episode 3!

Gail left - fantastic speech about having your live destroyed by a bullying mail - Just wish the wife in Us had had the same self salvation.

Big reveal about the dead wife.

I thought we found that out about the wife in weeks before

Someone above said everyone in it is good looking! I think the opposite, most of them look just like people we know, which is so refreshing. Apart from Adrian Lester, who is gorgeous!

What’s everyone watching next? I need something to fill the gap now!

Oh you mean her lover. Trying not to disclose and ruin

Tho fair game. It’s been on bbc

@ThePickleMan

What’s everyone watching next? I need something to fill the gap now!

Try the family

I’ve a thread but but no one seems to be wet hind

It’s good

Great, thanks!

@NellyJames
I too would love to know where the stunning lakeside lodge was in Episode 1 where David stayed.

That was an unexpected twist at the end of Ep 3.
Why did she stay in the taxi ?
All I could think about was that was going to be one big taxi bill !!!

Last nights was good.

All Coming together now

Yes it is!

Henry is a pompous arse, isn't he? Why can't he see that what Gail wants is for him to realise what he's done to her over the years and give a heartfelt apology. Some times that type of person will never be capable of seeing that though. Pretty tragic situation, as Gail will be feeling guilty because of his diagnosis.

I think Belle/Anna is supposed to be the main character? But I am finding her more and more annoying! Even though I like Victoria Hamilton. I'm sure the character wasn't so annoying in Doctor Foster? But I am finding it hard to remember what happened in that. Her husband cheated on her right? Was that with Doctor Foster herself? Does anyone remember?
