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!

Hello can I join in? Unforgotten one of my favourite programmes!

Early thoughts. Definite mum theme to first episode throughout.

Initial guess is some kind of pass out initiation silliness gone wrong.

*passing out

Although that seems far too straightforward. There will be more to it than that, of course.

I watched the series 1-3 at the start of lockdown, but I can't remember series 1 at all.

Wonder how the dodgy phone call to Felix/Felicity ties in with him once being a cop.

I just watched today and now will be in suspense til next week. Glad I've found this thread in case I miss anything!

Loved previous series of this but was kind of put off by the continuity announcer's warning about "strong graphic images from the start" - obvs the episode description suggests this would be the case anyway, but is anything left to the imagination or are we treated to images of the victim in all its incomplete glory? Sorry for being a wimp

I didn’t think it was strong graphic

It was a bit shocking but completely and utterly relevant to the storyline imho.

It wasnt as gory as I expected.

We see the victim in their dead state (not sure how much you already know). More shocking than gory.

Thanks for the info. Might give it a miss - can't be done with missing heads, even if not gory! Shame as I like a good story with a bit of intrigue, and can cope with most other things.

You only really see the dead body for few seconds

You only really see the dead body for few seconds

In the interest of accuracy for mertlstrop you only see it for a few seconds, a few times (I can think of three occasions).

i was going to say the same, its a very fleeting view and not close up in one instance

Just watched. I’ve got so used to being able to binge everything that I forgot how painful it is to have to wait 😩😂

Good point about Cassie having potentially known them. Awkward. She didn’t recognise the name forgerty though so maybe just one or two of them?

I need something to watch now. Was thinking about that James Nesbit one but since Susan Lynch is also in that, according to imdb, will I get too confused 😂

@SingToTheSky what's he JN one? I'd be binge watching Unforgotten too, so need an alternative.

Thanks - that's quite enough to give me nightmares...

Watching a perfectly intact James Nesbit in Bloodlands instead.

MerylStropp do not watch The Great. There's some utterly grim and bloody stuff in that which can turn the strongest stomach.

@longwayoff Thanks for the ...errm... heads up! I'll be sure to give that a miss, just like Game of Thrones. I like an epic plotline with spectacular scenery and sumptuous costumes etc., but the violence on some shows just seems so gratuitous these days. Obviously this can't always be avoided in crime dramas, but - like the great Inspector Morse - I prefer to keep the gore to a minimum and focus my efforts on whodunnit instead of cringing at the screen!

Completely agree. Can't help wondering about whoever has to create these grotesqueries as a job. Whether they're thrilled to have such demanding work '3 severed legs, an arm and a head, please' or they preferred it when much of it was left to our own imagination and they just had to throw in a few bandages and a bucket of blood.

Where can 8 find the great

Blondes loves gore

Loosely historical Catherine the Great of Russia. Sunday night 9pm, c4. 8 episodes on All4, 2 to come on Sundays. It's quite witty, the sex is graphic and heads abound. I think you'll like it blondes

I love this show! So sad about her Dad and the dementia as they had such a lovely sweet relationship, I know it's only a show..

Can I join too please? This is is the best crime drama I've ever seen. Love NW. Also loved her in Last Tango and the Split. My 83 yo dad loves her too and says her acting is very natural, the way she pauses alot and looks to the side. I like the way she incorporates swears into her sentences and then just walks out of the office!

Re. The headless corpse, don't let that put you off as it really is just a fleeting glimpse at the beginning and end and it won't cause nightmares and if it does then maybe avoid all crime/murder dramas.

As a pp said the way they've worked her back into the story to complete her 3 months I really hope that doesn't mean this is the last series. It's one of those dramas you never want to end.

I don't like binge watching I prefer to wait for something to be on every week like in the old days!

I’m hoping after her 3mths she will reliese she loves her job abs s5 will start

Still 🙀🙀🙀🙀 at £124k pension and her even considering not going back for 3mths
