New thread for the grouchies 😉

Mother of God (mixing my police procedurals a bit there), that was a haircut.

I really don't understand why owr Ryan wasn't dragged into the police station with his Gran, there's no way I would have just trusted he was going into school. Escape-gate stretched it a bit but I'll forgive it.

Faisal and the road rage! Crikey! Is he going to turn out to be some sort of criminal mastermind?

I’m almost sure he is actually from Yorkshire. Boarding school and Cambridge probably flattened his accent.

I know it’s not real.. but it’s annoying me how easily TLR escaped. With a cat A prisoner in a building, security would have been all over. There’s no way it would have happened

@AuroraCake born in Lambeth

@dapsnotplimsolls - I had forgotten the message on the micro phone! Yes - totally makes sense!!!

I wonder what Ryan will do now?

totally agree that this was James Norton’s 007 audition. I think Aaron Taylor-Johnson is meant to be the one to beat but I think JN would be brilliant.

felt a tiny bit sorry for the teacher - what on earth should he do?

In direct contrast to my previous post, maybe Faisal does get away with it and it gives him impetus to go into the big leagues? Rocks up at wedding and approaches big boys direct re drug supply?

no idea how all threads will be resolved in two episodes!

Grew up North Yorkshire. Just checked.

Just what I thought. Ridiculous escape scene.

He’s from about 20 miles away from where I live, geographically speaking. Socially, from about a world away.

I’m taking it since he went bosrding school they are fairly posh.

@AuroraCake ahh cool! I like it when they put on an authentic accent

Strange things happen…

prison break

I don’t know now. Seems he is kinda from a landed gentry family which means he probably had a generic posh accent despite where he was from. Like all those Scottish aristocrats who sound about as Scottish as I do.

Yeah I think he's posh posh.
I prefer him with the Yorkshire accent.

Ryan got the train from Hebden Bridge at 8.33 so he'd be on his way to Leeds before school started, unless they start really early. But Catherine would have phoned the school to check when she was at work. It is a weakness in the plot, same as when they let Ryan walk or cycle to/from school when he was about 8 or 9 and TLR was on the loose. Wouldn't have happened.

Weird that Faisal is now Mr Cool. I re-watched the previous episode and he did put his bare hands on the French windows when he closed the door. Hope he remembered that.

😂

So -

Tonight’s episode was Tuesday - TLR escaping from court.

Next week’s episode : Wednesday - Tweedledee’s wedding.

LAST EVER EPISODE : Thursday - Catherine’s retirement.

Have I got this time frame right?

DC Hayes the missing persons copper is Andre

So todsy was Tuesday

After starting a fight in the court wedding boy may not make his wedding tomorrow if banged up /night in cells

Plus more black eyes

Wonder who his bride will be

Then Thursday game over. All finished with her retirement

Eh I don't think this series has been very good tbh. I also don't get the Ryan love, he's a wooden a plank, or the Norton love. Sarah Lancashire kind of reminds me of one of my sisters, only in the hard faced bitch way. Not in the responsible capable adult way lol.

@AntonDuPig great minds. Literally did same post 😂

Obviously James Norton was at Ampleforth 20+ years ago, so fees would have been less but the fees are currently just shy of £40k per annum for a boarder. Which answers any questions about his social class.

I still wouldn't kick him out of bed, though.

@Msgrieves Are you watching the same programme as everyone else 😂

OMG that was an Amazing episode! So well written, keeping the tension on the two parallel storylines! And of course he got away.

So worried for Catherine now 😢

Didn't Pfizer turn up at Jo's when the girls were there in the first episode? They can place him there. James Norton would get it, posh or pauper 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, I know I'm the odd one :p
