Robbo asked Gabo to help him with a problem he has and he'll keep quite about Sam phoning him up.
We don't know what this is though.

Haudyourwheesht · 17/07/2022 22:29

Usual ridiculous BBC drama imo. I always watch them in case they're any good but they're mostly silly.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2022 22:39

Finished :)

I really enjoyed but you all know i have simple tastes and easily pleased 😂😂

i am wondering if he’s actually dead - I think not

plus sam seems very conniving and selfish and not very apprentice imo

not sure what Anthony has got his self into And what he wants gabe to do

he will have to help him then will find out that sam didn’t actually kill him

so gabe didn’t tech do anything wrong but. Will be caught up in the Anthony saga …….

roll on tomorrow 9pm

yes I know it’s on iPlayer but R.E.M. this is tv pace thread so no spoilers pretty please :)

The way they kept focusing on the doors if the van made me convinced that Sam's boyfriend isn't actually dead and is going to burst out of the van.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 10:12

@Themintwiththehole yes same here

hence why I don’t think he is dead

gabe will beg mixed up with whatever Anthony want him to do and no need

I'm not convinced about the height of the trees.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 10:24

The Christmas trees @Orgasmagorical

I thought that the ' dead' man isn't dead at all
Maybe he'll go back to the van and it'll be empty ? Or a different body in there ?

Winniewonka · 18/07/2022 12:47

I shall definitely carry on watching it but I found the control room scenes to be unrealistic. Maybe I have watched too many episodes of the real life Ambulance service where calls are coming in every few seconds plus staff are trained to keep calm under pressure. Gabo is nothing like this but it is a drama series😀
I agree that he is being set up, Sam seems evil and what did she do as a child for everyone to hate as an adult?

the80sweregreat · 18/07/2022 13:05

I've also watched real life ambulance type programmes on tv and this place wasn't at all realistic ! Walking out like he did would be a grounds for a disciplinary surely ? He denied knowing the woman at first as well. Fair enough to leave your desk to see the police , but the rest was bad. Poetic license !

the80sweregreat · 18/07/2022 13:06

Maybe Sam did something to his mother ?..
I liked her leopard skin coat and hair though

JudithHarper · 18/07/2022 13:09

I got a bit bored of it, to be honest.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 13:27

Something to do with fire

not sure what she has done but whatever it is it is bad as all who know alice think she should stay away from gabo

bur yes man def isn’t dead. Wonder if he checked the door in garage

I would have done

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 18/07/2022 13:38

He was just pleased to get out of that garage !
He wasn't thinking straight was he?
Plus he had been injured too

I too thought it was not realistic.
Walking out on the job, not being contactable ....
I had to suspend disbelief.

Mind you truth is often stranger than fiction.

Me too. I enjoyed it to begin with but found myself hoping it was only a one hour thing. I'll probably start watching tonight but if I fall asleep I'll not be sorry 😴

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/07/2022 16:16

Well we've seen one person walking a dog past the garage doors.......
next one might have a Super Sniffy Nose and Bat Like Hearing.....

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 16:17

Been thinking about this

has to be drugs what Antony wants gabe to help him with

OP posts:
summerycup · 18/07/2022 18:33

I thought it was poorly made. Acting wasn't great. The flashbacks were annoying. It just didn't really knit together.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 21:20

Oh. Getting exciting

OP posts:
Georgeskitchen · 18/07/2022 21:26

Just on episode 2 now, it's starting to look too complicated. Just deciding whether to carry on with it or not

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 21:35

It’s good @Georgeskitchen

drugs or money. Lucky he didn’t get caught and lawyer did x

Gabe runs everywhere - must be exhausting!

the80sweregreat · 18/07/2022 22:08

Gabe is lucky it's not 38 in the shade , all that running about in this heat would finish him off
I'm very confused and it's a bit slow

Fluffmonkey82 · 18/07/2022 22:13

I was saying this aswell! I need to get fit!
