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.

The secretary is on to her!

Music driving me crazy

It's a bit bloody far fetched, and I'm not talking about the drowning/ abduction storyline!

The waltzing into the teaching job, the lack of any security whatsoever at the school, handing over your dodgy DBS papers 2 mins before leading a lesson. The constant wearing of maroon...

It is all a bit odd. Lots of atmospheric music. ALL THE TIME.

It should be called ' the frowning'!

The music got right on my nerves.

Ooh the lad who plays Daniel is Brian Molko's (Placebo) son!

I thought that the DBS forms were all done online?

What have I just watched? Surely it's not that easy to get into a school, blag an interview with no relevant qualification (and no application process), then get into the school again to pin up some fliers, then get into the school again to hand-deliver DBS papers (which are online) directly to a head or at least head-of-department's desk, and then find your way to the music room where six children suddenly appear as if they've been expecting a music teacher ....

What?????

My thoughts exactly! There's creative licence, and there's just down right implausibility....

Seems the writers haven't been in a school for years! Unless private ones have their own different ' rules' ! 😀 I had high hopes for the as well! Lol

'and then find your way to the music room where six children suddenly appear as if they've been expecting a music teacher ....'

Yes where was the person supposed to be taking the class that Jill H just happened across?

Such a shame as it has potential but it has to be a bit believable. Wtf was she doing going to his house

I think the 'get out clause' for the writers is that it's a private school with its own weird rules, and that it wasn't a lesson, it was 'music club' (as per the flyers). Still bonkers though.

The DBS however is utter nonsense. Only the employer can apply for one, not the bloody applicant. And why wouldn't she pass an enhanced check anyway? And what happens when the school's request is processed?

Why doesn't she have the same accent as her brother?

What was Ben/Daniel doing looking for that phone in the lockers? Seemed a bit suspect.
Just as maroon woman appears round the corner!

'And why wouldn't she pass an enhanced check anyway? '

She must've been arrested or something previously when grief stricken, you get the feeling she perhaps made a nuisance of herself with the ex.

Yes. She Went a bit crazy after her child disappeared and probably kept showing up at her ex's place in terrible coats.

'probably kept showing up at her ex's place in terrible coats.'

She said that her own dad ' always blamed her' for what happened that day. Maybe he had something to do with it?

Did you see the preview for tomorrow's..one of the dodgy couple on the day he vanished was Rupert/the dad! I mean you'd think even the most cursory of a police check would've picked that up.

The police are about as good as they are on Eastenders! Pretty useless.

The coats are truly shite. Every time she gets a missed call voicemail I expect to hear

'Hi this is 2001, we'd like our jackets back'

😀 They are a bit ' Debenham's sale rail after Christmas' arnt they?

What was the cutting her hair bit about?! Didn't pick up on the awful coats I was too busy following the awful script..still intrigued though..
