Unforgotten

[LucasLeesEyebrows]

I saw a trailer for this the other evening but DC were running around and being loud so I missed most of it. Does anyone know when it’s starting please? I don’t want to miss it as it’s brilliant!

Nooooo Ram is terrible! His smug smacking chops are a huge turn off. Safe jumper dad has a definite edge, we saw a glimpse of it in the copse, sure there's much more to come.

I was trying to remember the character name that his wife played on Eastenders, was it Michelle? Friends with Bianca?

Natalie. Married Barry.

I have to agree that I rolled my eyes at the trainer’s memory. I am really hoping there is some huge twist coming as so far this series has felt very straightforward in terms of information found/witnesses coming forward. Obviously we don’t know the exact story but it seems that it just comes down to exactly which of or combination of the four ‘did it’ for the final episode.

I do love the theory that it was the brother and the body storage was a plant.

One of the things I love about this show is the clarity in the portrayal of external things that clothe the characters. Their homes particularly.

Liz, for instance. (Although the exterior of her house doesn't match the interior.) One has the feeling all that country cosiness is a construct to persuade her she has a nice life. And yet, even in ridiculous hoodies, on a damp bench, there was far more chemistry between her and Fiona than we've ever seen with her tedious fiancé.

Fiona's house ought to be a dream home - but it's cold, because the inhabitants simply don't know each other.

And the contrast between Dean and Ram's marriages. The first couple are absolutely partners; a team (though he's now lying to her) whereas Ram and his wife are lovers, still astonished to have found each other, each completely bound up in how the other is feeling. Which makes me think that he can't be hiding anything major from her. (Though she may know something and turn a blind eye.)

'fiancée'. Annoying typo.

Maybe the fact that none of them had ANYONE at their passing out, and were such a cohesive group, and then almost lal of them left the force.

Speaking as a retired lecturer, I have to admit that there are particular students that I DO still remember 30 years later.

The absolutely outstanding ones

The complete and utter *rsehole ones

The ones who spent most of their time in my office weeping about their inability to do the course, while simultaneously getting decent, often brilliant, marks.

And the one whose mother rang me up and played HELL with me down the phone because she found out that her DS (aged 19) hadn't been turning his work in, but had been going out partying instead. Apparently I should have made him work, (Believe me - we all tried. We can't pull a gun on someone.) we should have stopped him going to parties and made sure he was in bed (his own, alone) at night , and we should have told her because she was paying his fees (We aren't allowed to Mrs W*nker-Student WE AREN'T ALLOWED.)

I can't remember many of their names, but their faces are as clear as day. If I was shown a picture, I'd be able to give a potted student biography.

Oh - I don't think Ram, overall, is particularly attractive, but his mouth is perfectly shaped.

His brother is lovely though. Very much my type . . .

Interesting re the body plant. I don’t recall them mentioning finding a body in foggy's freezer to the four suspects? I’m assuming that’s standard practice not to give away info like that so they just said “in connection with this date...” etc. I can’t remember if any of them actually know where the body was found.

It is odd that they’d just trust someone to keep it in a freezer and not keep an eye on when he died. Maybe he had promised to bury or burn it at some point and then didn’t.

I think series two was my favourite in terms of the central plot. So much emotion in it especially the end. Series three for Cassie though. So broken. I need to binge the lot again.

@Clawdy

I really like Cassie, but she was more light -hearted in the earlier series, I remember her singing the opening lines of the song " Sunny" when she met Sunny! Can't really imagine her doing that now.

Yeah, but we all get grumpier as we get older don't we? Just like we all end up voting Tory when we get old, even though we can't imagine that now!

I agree re the photos prompting memories - it’s amazing how much a face can bring back. More likely if they were intense characters I guess. Someone like Fiona who was clearly not meant to be there would have stood out especially I think as most people would have surely been enthusiastic at the early stage of training

Did Ram and wife have an amnio and get the result there and then? They seemed to be discussing the result immediately after sitting in the car? I had amnio and had to wait for a letter 2 weeks later. But that was 20 years ago. Is it different now?

I got Amnio results the following day when I had mine 15 years ago.

I think Adam is gorgeous and looks a good decade younger than he is.

*Ram!

I assumed harmony test. Why risk amino

Ram is cute but I always liked him in ee and gavin and Stacey

@Ulysses

I binged the previous 3 series at the start of lockdown last year. I don’t think I’ve been playing all that close attention this series so I’m going to watch them back to back.

I do find it strange that in the first episode of this one, that much was made of Cassie and the group of probationers being around the same time 30 years ago and nothing come of it.

Let us know if you spot anything in your bingeing that we’ve missed @Ulysses Enjoy!

Yeah, but we all get grumpier as we get older don't we?

Hoe very DARE you highlights

I'm 67 and I'm an absolute delight . . .

Ram was in ee @Blondeshavemorefun ?? 🤔🤔 how did I miss that??

Yes as masoods brother

@bendmeoverbackwards had to delurk to say I used to work in the wardrobe department of many different TV dramas and there is a lot of thought that goes into what the cast wears - it matters hugely! It paints a picture, it tells you things about their mood and who they are. It makes them stand out or blend in when you need to. It tells a story of its own. I wouldn’t consider people disliking a character’s clothing or commenting on it as bitchy, male or female, it’s a talking point of any show just like the scenery, the acting or the storyline. If people were being mean about the actresses clothing then yes completely.
If it didn’t matter what the cast wore there would be no wardrobe department and they would turn up in whatever they wanted!

I love unforgotten. I’m confused by the social distancing though. Didnt Liz kiss Fiona and they sat really close on the bench? Is it just Cassie who is socially distanced as she has to be in scenes with so many people?

I see it's now on series 3. Can I still watch it if I've not seen the previous two series. Or will I not be able to follow. Never seen it.

Just like we all end up voting Tory when we get old, even though we can't imagine that now!
Just FTR - we don't! (I'm old) There is hope

@Cowbells - I can safely say that after Brexit handling and the COVID catastrophes I will never be voting Tory, no matter my age.

Oh wow @Blondeshavemorefun.....that went right over my head ...but yeah...remember now

No, I think she had the NIPT test and then they’d been told the results?
