Ooh will there be a grey modern house? Always seems to be in these dramas recently!

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2022 18:11

It's set in Barking, Essex so big grey beautiful houses won't be present ( I wouldn't imagine anyway )
It is a true story , sadly.
Those poor men were really let down by the police :(

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2022 20:19

We do like a big house 😂

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 02/01/2022 20:42

We do , normally like a flash house , but I'm sure this drama won't have any of that :(
Hopefully it'll show how much the police messed up the investigations.
It really is a miscarriage of justice.

.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2022 21:44

Do you have a link @the80sweregreat to the real life story

Terrible police mucked it up :(

mum2jakie · 02/01/2022 23:01

Sounds like something I'd enjoy. Thanks for the reminder!

the80sweregreat · 03/01/2022 10:59

I can't do links , but look up Stephen Port who killed four young men in essex between 2014/15

Deathraystare · 03/01/2022 12:13

Will there be a staircase without banisters, as there often is.. No perhaps as you did say Barking.

I just hope I remember to watch it tonight.

I didn't realise the Tourist thingy was on Beeb 1 on 1st so missed that.

the80sweregreat · 03/01/2022 12:26

The tourist is very good !

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 13:05

Yes just watching e2 tourist now as working last night

Unusual for bbc to put 2 new dramas on same week

Why didn’t they spread out both

But the trailer for four lives looks good

There was a Silent Witness episode that very much mirrored this Sad.

covetingthepreciousthings · 03/01/2022 13:29

Checking in ahead of tonight. I really feel for the families, especially considering how let down they were too Sad

On a seperate note, it'll be interesting to see how Stephen Merchant takes on a 'serious role', presumably he won't have his Bristolian accent in this?

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 14:56

Why were the families let down

Or does that spoil the plot so tell me after finished

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 20:58

Bump. Just about to start

OP posts:
LadyEloise1 · 03/01/2022 21:20

Watching too

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 21:21

Quite gruelling watching. Seeing the police not give a toss (imo)

I read the story @the80sweregreat 🥲🥲

Didn’t reliese Sheridan Smith played his mum

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 03/01/2022 21:24

I am not watching this. I can’t take any more “dramas” about young people in the prime of their lives being horribly killed while the authorities look the other way

It’s depressing and my mental health can’t tolerate any more of it.

Pythian · 03/01/2022 21:24

It's good so far but Stephen Merchant's failure to suppress his Bristol accent is a bit distracting. I looked Stephen Port up to see where he was from, and it was Southend-on-Sea, so definitely should sound more Essex.

The way the police are speaking to Anthony's family and friends is bloody awful. No empathy or compassion at all.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 21:32

what happened

Don’t click on link unless you want to know

I’m guessing how this will end as know read about the crimes

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 03/01/2022 21:39

It is sad :(
The police let so many people down.
It is awful.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2022 21:46

Why didn’t they check him out more

Esp after death 2&3 - won’t say why due to spoiling
