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.

It does actually get more ridiculous at it goes on 🤣

It's so low rent, I'm even pretty sure that was Lidl Cava

Why would the GTC have heard of her? I thought she claimed to be/was employed as a music tutor, hence the “no experience with teaching kids” stuff in the interview.

He’s going to bury her in concrete under the foundations.

Where his wife ended up.

Why didn’t dad just go to the police when his son wasn’t in bed.

JazzyGeoff · 03/02/2021 21:28

Haha @ the Casualty style shot of tools laying out in arms reach ...

@EggysMom

Who cares about her brother's job?

This is annoying me so much.

25 years a teacher, and there is NO WAY that half the stuff that’s happening on there is allowed in a school.

And l don’t know how old it is, but they made reference to the General Teaching Council which was disbanded 10 or 11 years ago.

Those style of houses are so popular now ( and very expensive)

purpleme12 · 03/02/2021 21:30

I think you'd go to the door of the house after that
You wouldn't automatically go upstairs

Mark wasn’t as helpless in the face if the stare as the guys with kilos and kilos of coke / heroin. Architects, eh.

Was the scene with Jason to show he's a bit dodgy? The comment about sitting in front of his juniors was odd, and then the comment about he wouldn't be there if it wasn't for his mum - has she covered for him in regard to Tom going missing?

YoBeaches · 03/02/2021 21:31

It's so bad I can't turn it off. Genius.

the80sweregreat · 03/02/2021 21:32

The brother and mum are dodgy I think.

I just took it as a way of showing he was always the mum and dad's favourite
the80sweregreat · 03/02/2021 21:35

Who'd get their car washed there? 😀

purpleme12 · 03/02/2021 21:35

As if you'd believe a woman you've hardly known over your dad who's brought you up with no evidence and just go along with her 😂

EggysMom · 03/02/2021 21:35

Blimey, they do actually wash cars!

MythSpentYouth · 03/02/2021 21:36

A Baddie Coat

EggysMom · 03/02/2021 21:36

I thought the limit was £250/day from a cashpoint ... I could be out of date on that.

Dogatetheleftovers · 03/02/2021 21:38

I thought she was going to leave the baddies’ house to find the car on bricks with the tyres gone!

EggysMom · 03/02/2021 21:38

Did she leave her car in the set down / pick up area? And nobody noticed?

JazzyGeoff · 03/02/2021 21:39

A COUPLE OF THOUSAND?!?

the80sweregreat · 03/02/2021 21:39

In these dramas you can leave your car wherever you like! Lol

Smurfymurphy · 03/02/2021 21:39

If this is all a dream in the next 21 minutes I’ll not be happy.
