State of Happiness being reshown on BBC Alba

[stumbledin]

I know some of us thought this was a really good series when first shown on BBC 4. Thread here but dont read if you are concerned about spoilers www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3899387-State-of-Happiness-BBC-4-started-Saturday-2-May-2020

This is about what happens to a small town in Norway when oil is discoverd and big American money moves in. Set in late 60s early 70s also looks at the opportunities (or lack of them) for women and ... Schedule seems a bit strange, I think first shown on friday evenings and then again on Sundays www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000hy8w/broadcasts/upcoming

Only problem is not sure if the subtitles will be in English or Gaelic!

And even better - have seen that series 2 has been made and shown in Norway so only hope the BBC will get this and that it wont be privitised by some US conglomorate.

I started watching this on iplayer then it disappeared! I only got about 4 episodes in. Will have to see if I can access this.

I hadn't noticed that on the web site. Seems like only the first 3 episodes available. Maybe they will come on line after that have been shown.

But because you have pointed this out am going to record as I really do want to watch it again. Thanks!

Have just finished watching this for a second time.

And didn't have quite the same edge as I knew how the story would develop.

But got a lot out of watching it agains, bits of dialogue, the politics (still a bit murky).

The only problem was could understand any of the american accents, so was never really sure what they had said.

And liked the way the female characters were written flaws and all.

Keeping my fingers crossed that series 2 will be as good.
