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.

Totally @the80sweregreat

Need closure

I love the design of these new properties with the balconies that are in front of the rest of the house and picture windows. Some are worth a small fortune.
Makes my small 1960s semi look very drab and boring.

@the80sweregreat, I always look at them and think, Oooh they'd be a nightmare to heat in winter

The creative minds on this thread should pitch a The Drowning/Marcella spin-off.

Jodie's rather unpleasant mother and TomDan's school (teacher? secretary?) SmugMissPonytail combine forces with evil CrimeBossKatherine:

'The Witches of Toxic'...

I'd love to pitch a Mumsnet 'treatment'!

Yes, those big open rooms would be drafty in the winter time Jamie. I guess these rich bods can afford the heating on all day and the cost of running the indoor pool ( unlike me!)

And the air con in the summer ...

I suppose it's all climate controlled and ground source heat pumps or whatever they're called these days, but I'd still dread the bills coming in.

Theres a handful of these similar dramas on at the moment. Binged one yesterday which developed a reasonably interesting storyline then completely abandoned it in last episode, dragged in a minor character to blame for everything and absolutely infuriated me with an ending so daft that I want my wasted hours back. Won't share it's name. You'll come across it.

Oh please do long. I am always looking for new dramas.

My husband hasn’t watched this or the bay or finding Alice but occasionally glances up from his paper to ask who/what/where which is so annoying
He did show interest last night and has concocted a mishmash conclusion about Alice/Tom/the bay lady detective and said that one of them is behind the mask.... I tried not to commit another mystery ....

To be fair, he’s probably got as much idea about what’s going as those of us who are watching it.

Haha, that’s very true!

@MerylStropp Oh god yes, how could I forget the construction/architecture connection!

Worst one is my son ( 23) who asks me about the plots of Eastenders on the odd occasion he is bored and decides to watch it ( about twice a year) ! Even I don't get half of it and I watch every episode! Lol

So annoying when the men ask what’s happening. So I have to pause and explain

Then

Oh. Ok But why ......

Then I tell him to shush or bugger off

Great thread. Have caught up with this today and concur with the general Mumsnet assessment - batshit!
But am looking forward to seeing how they tie all these implausible strands together via some awful acting. May need though.

Does everyone recommend the bay and finding Alice? I'm desperate for some new shows to binge.

@RigaBalsam

My theory is that her brother and Mother saw Tom die and covered it up as they didn't want Jason's career ruining. So Tom is dead. Jason swapped the DNA to get her out of prison. The Dad is wanted for something criminal hence loaded and travels around. He will go to prison. Jodie will get the DNA text to say no match but she won't say anything.

Now that would make sense. However as it makes sense it probably won't happen.

I did wonder where the speech/voice trainer had got too re the completely unmatching accents.
Even a quick mention of say Jodie & Jason going to Uni in Manchester & Newcastle & working there for a few years would have covered it.

You need to get yourself one of these. I can recommend them.

Interesting!

Yes.

But I can't work out whose DNA was swapped for whose. Whose did he use to give the 99% match with Jodie?

Was it 99% dna match or 99% likelihood that she was mother?

Maybe it is really tom

His dad obv did something dodgy or wouidnt be wanting a lawyer
