THE CONTROL ROOM - SUN MON TUE 9pm. BBC 1. Tv pace no spoilers

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New 3 bit drama on for 3 continual nights

call handler Gabe receives a desperate call from a woman who unexpectedly recognises him

I had to hire a van when my car went poof 3hrs before I was starting work

was actually nice to drive tho weird having no middle mirror

i checked the van 😂

Yeah , petrol levels check
Any scratches on the bodywork check
Mileage check
Dead body in the back...............

Though , in the scene where he put the van in the garage/lockup , there was a HUGE fly that he batted away .
And wasn't there blood on the side of the van, when he picked it up from the multi-story car park (or did he imagine that?)

who was the man at the end trying to shot him. The drug dealer who wanted his money back ?

Not drugs at all ... they were involved in selling the call centre's data from the calls they took - presumably like gold dust for ambulance-chasing law firms, which is why the solicitor was arrested... (seems a bit far-fetched tbh, but it's true that unscrupulous companies will pay big £££ for data these days and we've all had those e-mails attempting to extract our info by nefarious means, so...)

The thing in the envelope was therefore probably just a simple data stick and not 100K worth of drugs.

.... and the guy with the gun was probably either the head honcho or one of the hired heavies - there was some suggestion that there were other call centres involved in the scam, so the Glasgow onw would have been just part of a huge criminal operation.

I did feel sorry for the poor guillable Gabo though, I mean he loved her that much he'd have done anything :(

That scam went totally over my head

Just watched the last episode . Was it worth it ? Well, in a word , no not really. Sorry, that's three 😃

Haven't even started Witness No 5 yet......is it any good ?!

It was rubbish. They could have done the whole thing in two hours. It needed more of a mystery.

Yes witness no 3 is good

I thought it was all a bit daft, but it was entertaining and the ending was much nicer and more satisfactory than I thought it was going to be.

I ended up watching the end thinking I didn't get it?!

On reading the synopsis I think I did get it yet I'm left with the feeling that I don't get it.

I just watched it.

I think it had potential but it wasn’t good. Too many parts didn’t make sense.

Who wouldn’t look in the back and even then after days wouldn’t you notice the lack of smell or flies when you got in.

Also the whole set up was far fetched. Sam’s boyfriend apparently forced her to use Gabo but why would he know Gabo would still be infatuated with someone he hadn’t seen since he was 8. And all that set up just so he could be the go between trading a data stick for cash? So complicated. Why not have a drop off or meet out in the country. Anything but that ridiculous set up.

Absolute load of rubbish, none of the Characters were likeable and there was too much going on!

I have just watched this series Gabo reminded me of Forest Gump running everywhere. It was so bad it was comical.

@Mouldyfoodhelp
