@HannaHat I kind of feel protective of SW and her brilliant writing when people miss such clear details and hence think the storyline is stupid! SW is an incredible writer and the storylines have shown just that.

As I contrast, I watched one and a half episodes of Line of Duty and found it awful (a lot of my friends recommended it but I found it hammy acting and a lot of it too obvious.) SW seems to wind complex stories, have constant tension but not make it unrealistic or hammy. With both the first two series, you can see exactly how both the accountant and the CID officer end up in the situations they find themselves in, and how things can escalate - like Faisal, neither are master criminals to start with either!

I didn't mind LoD at first (had to ignore Martin Compston's weird David Beckham-like accent) but it stretched credibility too much for me.

Just looked on Twitter, ooh 👀

@HannaHat oooooh indeed!

thank you everybody on this thread, I’ve been really enjoying hearing all the different viewpoints and ideas.

Just watched Nowhere Special. James Norton is brilliant in it and his Belfast accent is impeccable. Had to do something to fill in the gap until Sunday…

Super little film

I am intrigued by Alison and what will happen with her character, but I am pretty sure it's nothing to do with helping out TLR

My thought was that she might die saving Catherine.

Of course it could be that it's only to do with getting the vehicle or the double declutch on the truck!

She’d better not die, I really liked the sense that she’s building a new life for herself now she’s free of the past.

some of us would like to discuss what is a really excellent and serious drama without the - often cringeworthy - cliquey jokes, nicknames, faux Yorkshire accents, discussions about unrelated topics etc etc.

Ow do? It's a fictional programme on telly not an actual police investigation @AlmondBake

I've looked on Twitter but am none the wiser.

I wondered that initially but have gone off the idea.

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2023 13:57

Who are you to tell us not to squabble blondes? 🥊🥊

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 14:00

Cos I'm grumpy and pissed off and emotional

😛😛😛😛

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2023 14:01

I'm coming round to stomp on your poorly foot

JemimaPyjamas · 26/01/2023 14:08

🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

You wouldn't dare !!!

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2023 15:12

No, you're right Blondes I'll send the boys round instead.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 17:32

@JaneJeffer if they are sexy I will allow them in 😂

Emotionalsupportviper · 26/01/2023 17:49

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 10:56

@LaviniasBigBloomers you don't have to binge stuff - you could hold restraint like oh @Emotionalsupportviper does

Oh hold on. She doesn't have restraint either 😛😛😛

Self discipline one at all !!!

Blondes looks smug

YES I DO!

I DO HAVE RESTRAINT!!!

I DO, I DO, I DO!!!!!

<weeps>

MavisMcMinty · 26/01/2023 12:37

We haven’t met the bride yet, have we? Is it going to be someone surprising? Someone we already know?

I hope she takes one look at Tweedledummer and punches his lights out for showing her up.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 18:01

I imagine bride to be a dolly bird

@Emotionalsupportviper so if you can do it with this series surely you can do it with them all

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2023 18:23

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 17:32

Unfortunately they are a bit battered and bruised at the moment. I could send a tall, dark, handsome man but he's got bladder issues.

This is my intention.

It will not be easy, but I will take it away at a time.

Emotionalsupportviper · 26/01/2023 18:28

*A DAY, NOT AWAY

BUGGER YOU, AUTOCARROT, I AM JUST ABOUT SICK OF THIS!

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2023 18:34

@JaneJeffer I have a commode he could use
