Connie Nielsen plays jo Harding

A woman who seems to have it all - big house -wonderful kids -doting husband - Rob , played by Christopher eccleston

But

Following a fall, an entire year is wiped from her memory and jo relieses that her perfect life may not be perfect and all that it seems

Worse still someone is keeping a terrible secret from her

Looks good and right up my street - wondering if hubby is having an affair or even if jo is playing around

Ooh sounds good

Xmasbaby11 · 04/11/2021 23:01

I feel like I've seen it before - maybe I've read the book? Or too many similar ones! I'll definitely be watching it!

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2021 23:20

I like the sound of this. Will be setting to record (as I can't stand all the adverts on All4)

The book was out in 2017. Amanda Reynolds wrote it.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/11/2021 00:09

@HollowTalk do uou know if it’s been shown before /made into a series

I’m sure I haven’t read the book but agree with others the plot sounds familiar

OP posts:
HollowTalk · 07/11/2021 00:19

No, I actually know Amanda and know that it's taking a long time for this to be made, although probably a short time in TV land! It certainly hasn't been made before.

Wasn't there a thriller recently called close to you?

mum2jakie · 07/11/2021 09:15

@saveforthat

Wasn't there a thriller recently called close to you?
There was one with a very similar name. The one where the supposed 'yummy mummy' drove a car with her own kids in it off a bridge? She then ended up in a psychiatric hospital. That had a very similar title.
MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/11/2021 09:16

I feel I've seen this or maybe read it.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/11/2021 12:02

I R.E.M. that with the car and driving off the road

I just seem to know this plot - weird.

I think she is having an affair - wonder if I am right

Which to watch and when, we're flooded with dramas .... 3 on at the same time. Think I'll give this new one a go tonight and Showtrial and Angela Black on iplayers during the week.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/11/2021 17:47

I know. All at 9. Ans working tonight as well so need to record all 3

I shall record bbc and itv

And this one prob +1

There is a Liane Moriarty novel with a similar premise called "What Alice forgot". Could you be thinking of that?

User5632986 · 07/11/2021 20:22

I think I might watch this tonight, fortunately I have already watched Showtrial, I will have to squeeze Angela Black in with Dexter and Succession tomorrow. I see there is a big house in this, maybe they pinched it from ITV.

Thanks Blondes would have missed this if it wasn't for thread

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/11/2021 20:25

I like to be helpful with drama /detective etx @User5632986

Hmmm not sure so far Confused

Dogatetheleftovers · 07/11/2021 21:58

Me neither Avon and the son is from Doctor Foster.

Rollergirl11 · 07/11/2021 22:10

So are we supposed to think she had sex with her daughters boyfriend? And what do we think has happened to Finn as he’s obviously not at university!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 07/11/2021 23:05

Is anyone able to get the rest of this on Sky Q? I can see the other episodes on All 4 online, but when I search for it on the TV it’s just episode one.

I also feel like I have read this and went as far as checking Amazon/my Kindle. It is very familiar!

MrsFin · 07/11/2021 23:16

Christopher Eccleston is looking much younger than the last time I saw him

BatshitCrazyWoman · 08/11/2021 09:52

I quite liked it. Christopher Eccleston shouldn't wear orange though #notreallyrelevant

Aquarius1234 · 08/11/2021 13:02

I thought the acting was bad.

butterpuffed · 08/11/2021 13:39

I don't think it's very popular, more posts in here before it started rather than after .

Not popular with me either, very slow . I didn't like Jo talking to herself from inside her head, a very strange voice. And I do hope she was dreaming when she saw her husband looking horrified and holding a mermaid.
