Roadkill BBC 1

[unique1986]

Political Thriller tonight 9pm
Starring Hugh Laurie.

Looking forward to this!

I hate a political drama.
But oh! How I love Hugh Laurie......

Yeh could do without the politics lol

The PM is very Mrs Thatcher isn't she?

The PM is very Mrs Thatcher isn't she?

That's what I thought. But of a cliche.

I am confused. Hugh went to a prison and woman said she knew his daughter. Confused as to what else has happened.

It is quite confusing. I'm not sure what's going on with the prison or why the lawyer is now helping the journalist.

All the relationships are a bit convenient aren't they?

I'm glad it isn't just me. Bizarre

It's just starting to make sense seeing the two aides/advisors are in it together. Not sure where Margaret fits in.

I'm confused as well.

I was a bit bored, characters unlikeable. I'll give it another try next week to see if it gets more exciting but if not won't bother watching any more.

A lot of double crossing going on!
Hugh Laurie is excellent and the talk show DJ reminds me of James O Brian a bit!
Other than that I'm a bit confused.

Loved it! Really clever scripting and weaving of the relationships.

Yeah I was confused and a bit bored. Wish I was watching Hugh in something else....

It didn't grab me. Might try it again in catch up later this week.

It somehow felt too long. When I find myself glancing at the clock, I know it's not working for me. The prison scenes were gripping, but the office scenes seemed endless.

I didn’t watch it closely enough and now I’m confused and don’t know if I will rewatch.

Well, that was fun. An hour of unpleasant people being unpleasant to each other. Not sure I'll watch next week.

I don't understand old hands (like PM, Laurence, Editor) being manipulated by their 12 year old assistants. Surely, the OH are more savvy than that?

Cliches galore but good fun, I thought.

Patricia Hodge has aged a lot since I last saw her.

Funnily enough @senua that's what I said. No likeable characters and nobody to root for.

I don't understand old hands (like PM, Laurence, Editor) being manipulated by their 12 year old assistants

The 12-year-olds know where all the bodies are buried.

Not sure where Margaret fits in. She was meeting with the (female) driver in the stairwell. I think they kissed, but maybe not. So the driver is informing on Laurence too, I guess.

The bit about where shall I pick you up from tomorrow morning was so pointed, so does she disapprove of his affair?

Not a huge fan of David Hare but will happily watch Hugh Laurie in anything.
Did slightly feel that the driver was being set up to play The Entire Working Class which might come to annoy me.
