The Drowning starts tonight on C5 at 9pm for 3 evenings Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Perry-Jones

[stumbledin]

Know nothing about this but have found some C5 original dramas quite good!

For anyone who like me is still trying to find something actually worth watching.

I Keep seeing the trailer for it and it looks ok even if Jill Halfpenny looks distressed quite a lot!
On for four nights which helps to keep up with the story , I find.
I read a lot of books that have similar kind of stories , so I am expecting a few twists.

I’m looking forwards to this too.

What's it about?

It sounds as if a mum thinks her son is actually alive about ten years or so after his died.
The TV guide I buy had a good write up about it , but I don't think it's based on a book.
I always associate Jill Halfpenny with theatre or winning strictly!
Sounds ok but it will probably be disappointing as these things sometimes are!

Ooh! I like Jill Halfpenny, she was in In The Club a few years ago which was fun (though I kept wanting to call it Up The Duff).

It sounds promising and has been heavily promoted on channel five.

Is it 4? Website is only showing 3!

Quote: In this gripping thriller, Jill Halfpenny stars as a mother who is convinced she’s found her missing son after nine years.

Also web site is saying watch now on My5 but please can me make this an episode by episode thread.

Binge watchers please start your own thread!

Thanks

THIS THREAD IS EPISODE BY EPISODE.

NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

My tv quick is saying four parts. Monday to Thursday.

Oooh Thanks for the reminder Stumbledin

Will set to record.

Well hopefully that's 4 evenings taken care of rather than 3!

Maybe message mnhq to ask to change @stumbledin the title to tv pace

Looks good

Seems quite good so far but Jill Halfpenny looks very different and I can't work out why!

That coat is appalling!
I Like her car though.

The relentless background music is irritating.

Much better coat now!

Am enjoying.

Wondering if they had ivf to conceive their lost son.

Rupert Penny Jones always looks sinister.

More beautiful homes! All channel five dramas have them.

Here you all are.

I wish I could cut my own hair like that!

I tried to trim my fringe a bit and it didn't go well!
If Ben was abducted ( possibly) they didn't take him too far away did they? It's all within driving distance.

I'm watching...... with some trepidation.

Channel 5 things always start off well but are shite by episode 3. As was the recent one with the guy from Normal People..... The Deceived. What a steaming heap of ..............

Her shirt is almost the same as her coat!

Lots of ' middle distance gazing' and many coincidences that wouldn't happen in real life!
She is good , but the script feels a bit ' thin' so far.

How would she get a job without any teaching experience. That said I like the houses and Jill halfpenny is good in it if a bit mad, but then you would be in her position.
