TRIGGER POINT. SUNDAY ITV 9pm. TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Which means we don’t discuss an episode till it’s been on tv

After that it’s fair game

Anyway

When a terrorist campaign threatens the capital over the summer, bomb disposal experts Lana Washington (Vicky McClure) and Joel Nutkins (Adrian Lester) are at the forefront of urgent efforts.

They discover a potiental bomb factory in a London housing estate

( whispers but is filmed near to blondesland)

Looks good

Love both Vicky and Adrian as actors

I know :)
It is annoying me !! .. 😂

@NoisyBrain

I hope it isn't Karl. I've decided I quite fancy him

Also, I'm chuckling every time I see The Handbag now.

I have to admit I really fancy him!!!!!

I recorded it but it failed in the last 2 minutes. She was searching the political party's HQ and just opened the meter cupboard. What happened?

Not much, she ran up to road and called someone ' I need back up , the whole road might go up ' or something like that anyway ! She was asking for more expos.
Then it ended.

I recorded it but it failed in the last 2 minutes.

Mine too.

Thanks. I didn't really miss anything then.

Same here

I think I fell asleep, who is miles Jupp playing? I missed him

Miles Jupp was playing the presenter of Any Questions (it wasn't actually called Any Questions but that was what it was). Just a tiny cameo but always nice to see him

Miles Jupp character was hosting a debate at the Uni when it had to be evacuated.

@Sittinginthesand

It’s pretty poor but I still seem to be watching it, mainly just enjoying shouting at the television now. She doesn’t just have no chemistry with the men she seems to positively dislike them, I keep thinking it must be part of the plot. It is so, so, so unbelievable that she’d be at work now. There must be at least three teams of bomb disposal people, they can’t be on duty all the time (and only in the day). Also why is their base a shit tip?

I know, the base looks like something from the 1970's. I do like Vicky McClure but this is crap. The police officer with the hand bag is ridiculous too.I am still watching but no idea why!

Also far too obvious to be John, must be being black mailed by evil overlord or has his wife, child, dog etc hostage. Motor bike love interest must be involved.

Another one here thinking it's too obvious to be John (voluntarily at least) if for no other reason than it wasn't necessary to blow his cover. As far as they knew the guy with the two mobiles was responsible and dead. He didn't achieve anything really by making the bomb go off as it was already evacuated unless he was trying to bump off Wash

Well, it's the scheduling, 9pm on Sunday night and we'll watch pretty much anything. But this isn't great. Disappointing. Peaky Blinders is back next Sunday 27th, I think, so this is going to be way down the list.

DH is enjoying it- I think it's pretty awful! VM is basically Line of duty character with swearing and I'm amazed that bombs going off could be so boring. Also every time Kerry Godliman is on I want to ring up Tony in Afterlife shouting "Lisa is alive!!" He'd be so happy

"He didn't achieve anything really by making the bomb go off as it was already evacuated unless he was trying to bump off Wash"

Good point.

I've started so I'll have to finish now. I think there's only one more. I think Vicky McClure is trying too hard to be blokey and 'one of the lads'.

@CharacterForming @the80sweregreat oops I don't remember that bit, will go and rewatch as I know I dozed at one point 🤦🏼‍♀️

If someone is trying to kill off Lana they are doing a rubbish job so far. She nearly killed herself up in episode one anyway with the light switch ( I feel that episode was on months ago rather than just weeks , it's been a long drama !)
Love the idea of ringing up Tony in 'afterlife ' and telling him his wife is alive and working for the expo team. He would be elated , bless him.

This is truly terrible TV but I feel I have to persevere and watch the final one now. God, the drunken lone dancing and singing scene made me cringe so hard.
I reckon Karl must be a baddie.

I think it all was worth watching for the sight of the I LOVE EGGS graffiti on the bridge over the canal. It made my day because we always watch out for them when we're out in the car.

VM doing the Drunken Dance of PTSD was, as my teens would say "totally cringe". I could just see the director and writer and actor thinking "yeah this is going to be really brave and powerful!" And just, no.

Was the pub scene with Karl set in Camden lock ? Or somewhere similar ? What is the ' I love eggs ' all about ?
I was fascinated by it all , not an area of London I know well at all.

I thought it might have been but it's a very long time since I was there. I laughed at the 'I love eggs' too.

Eggs guy is mostly South London but that pub is in Hackney apparently.

Hackney has a lock with narrow boats?
Who knew eh? ( not me , clearly )

I think the bad guy is Tom or Danny or both. Danny was looking very suspicious tonight. And Tom smirked when the second mobile call to detonate the bomb was made.
