Welcome @BoreOfWhabylon

a but more about it

The BBC teases it as... "A gripping new thriller set in Glasgow. The Control Room tells the story of Gabe (De Caestecker), an ordinary man who works as an emergency call handler for the Scottish Ambulance Service in Glasgow.

His world is turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a woman who appears to know him. With Gabe under pressure to work out who she is, he makes a decision that threatens to have devastating consequences..."

Sounds great, thanks. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Im hoping will be good :)

Typical tho about bbc and ch5 on at same time

will prob watch bbc then ch 5 as then can ff via ads

Lead character looked familiar ...........he played Adam Barlow way back (actually now on Classic Corrie ) he hasn't changed much !

I don’t watch Corrie @70isaLimitNotaTarget has he been in anything else

Assassins Creed (that's where DH recognised him)
Taggart
River City

Ah @70isaLimitNotaTarget river city. That’s where I recognise him

Placemarking.
Thanks for the thread @Blondeshavemorefun.

Thanks Blondes, this looks good from the trailer.

Welcome @JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx and @LadyEloise1 - tho how can you watch if bbc 1 x

@BlondeshavemorefunWe can get BBC1, BBC2, ( perhaps BBC 3/4 I'm not sure ) Sky News, Sky 1 etc and Channel 4 and some ITV programmes - Coronation Street, Emmerdale etc but not the BBCiPlayer ( though I'd be willing to pay ) and Virgin media my tv and broadband provider gets ITV series too and broadcasts them at a later date than UK.

Ah fab so can watch this live

how about ch 5. Do you get that ?

No we don't get Ch5.
I think if your tv/ broadband provider is Sky you can get it in Ireland but I wouldn't be able to get Channel 4 and I watch a fair few programmes on that.

Thanks for this @Blondeshavemorefun. I only said to DH the other day we have barely anything set to record these days!

Oooh just seen Taj Atwal is in it, happy now 😁

@WhatICallMyUsername welcome. Been a slow few weeks of drama

Baby settled. I’m 20m
behind but enjoying it so far :)

The lead actor is very nice looking!

He sure is @the80sweregreat !!

robbo isn’t very nice

I just couldn't get into it. Not sure I'll bother with the rest.

I’m enjoying. Didn’t expect the accident 40m In

I enjoyed it and want to find out the back story

I missed what the colleague at the end asked Gabo to do?

A slow start I thought although it picked up in the last half hour. I’m interested to find out why Gabe feels he has to help Sam after what must be years with no contact.
Have to say though that this sort of thing where the nice innocent lead character is led into a web of lies puts my stomach in knots.
