Defo didn’t like Sam, and her one-expression face.

It had potential but it didn’t fulfil it.

Liked the Dad hug at the end. That was the best bit of the entire 3 hours.

Me too. Hopefully he'll leave Sam behind and mend his relationship with his dad and develop some degree of common sense.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/07/2022 23:17

Well, that was overblown rubbish.

Shame, because a drama set in an ambulance control centre could have been really good.

nocoolnamesleft · 19/07/2022 23:24

I think all I took away from it was that Gabe is a total idiot.

I can see where you are coming from 😀

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 20/07/2022 08:53

I wanted to love this but was a bit Confused

I did call it early on there was no body in the van - thanks to the many ominous close ups of the doors and apparent lack of smell.

Also when Gabe put the money bag in the right locker but Leigh moved it ... surely if you were Anthony and saw it wasn't in your locker then Gabes would be the first place you'd look?!

We started S2 of Baptiste last night and I've realised that everything I've watched with this character in has a theme of harmed kids/children Confused

Probably why one needs something daft like Call Handler occasionally.

the80sweregreat · 20/07/2022 09:25

It didn't really hate it , it was nice to see a bit of Glasgow instead of being set in London and the lead actor was nice , so that helped along a weak plot.
I knew the van was empty all along as nobody was smelling anything and I guessed Sam was dodgy! It was taut in the museum with all that running about.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/07/2022 09:39

Yes I did say I didn’t think was a body in van due to door close up or that he wasn’t dea and would jump out

but didn’t guess Anthony haz was with Sam

You'd think at some point he'd have opened the van. Just even to see what he was dealing with. Off to the hardware store to buy a saw to dismember a body you've not even seen. Silly boy.

shumway · 20/07/2022 11:11

I was hoping it wouldn't be daft but it was.

Maytodecember · 20/07/2022 13:08

Well that’s 3 hours of my life I’ll not get back.
Worked it out at end of Episode One, some good acting. They really tried with their characters but the plot was pathetic. For starters, did no one realise a body left in a van for over 48 hours would smell. Very strongly.
And obviously there are no CCTV or ANPR cameras in Glasgow……

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/07/2022 14:18

Yes he was a little bit thick. Always check the body

We could do with some kind of rating system for these shows so I could see how you lot rate them before I bother 😂

I'm in the "why didn't you check for a body you tit" category here.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2022 21:39
