I think I'll have one of these as well, ta.

Don't fancy TLR*, but I do like a bit of clever wordplay.

*Do quite have a li' crush on JN, though

Are you making these badges yourself Jane? 😭😂
I'm loving them 👌🏻

Yes I am @HannaHat - thinking about setting up a business now 🤨

I'd definitely wear the Tommy one 🥴

When he was on Graham Norton my ears did hear him say that someone, somewhere, presumably on SM, had written: " Tommy Lee Royce, you make my valley happy", didn't they?

😂😂

I saw a clip of him on some radio show where they asked him to read out those messages in his TLR voice. He gets very giggly!

I'm pinning that on my cardi right now!

It's brilliant isn't it, he's very sweet

i've been driving around with a 5 litre bottle of water in the boot that i can't be arsed to take out.

whenever i go around a corner it feels like i've got ann gallagher in the boot and i'm lewis whippey.

Last time I changed/got rid of my car, I obviously cleared/cleaned/hoovered it all out, and harvested the weight of two small adults in debris and general car clutter. All the extra petrol it must have cost me over the years!

Sorry, your 5-litre bottle anecdote just made me think “that’s 5 kilos!”

Oooh, I'd forgotten Lewis Whippey's name. T'other of Ashley's lads.

I don't really fancy him in Grantchester though 😬 I like the TLR accent

Me too! One of those haunting moments that will stay with you. Like when Tommy Shelby rode off to All the Tired Horses.

You're one of those women who'll end up engaged to a death row serial killer. I can hear the Channel 5 doc now 'Amanda from Reading never thought she'd fall in love with a man from Texas. Especially not one who was facing the electric chair for murdering 8 people at a barbecue...'

@FadoFado

😂😂😂

Frances Drummond springs to mind.

I forgot about creepy whispery Frances!

Dis me

Watching grantchester

I don't see all the panting tbh

So he's a young father brown ?

Aww just read 'ar Ryan presented an award to Beyonce at t' brits

<buffing* tiny badge collection>

<humming contentedly to self>

<looks up>

Lucky Beyonce!

<continues buffing>

*NOT a euphemism

I'd like to think that rob wouldn't get charged with murder as he did the right things post her death. He reported her missing and then reported finding her body in the garage. You'd have to be particularly deranged to report finding your wife's body in your garage did you did it yourself!

So I'd like to think being honest with the police (like Ryan was about the Xbox chat) is rewarded.

Course he should go down for other stuff!

Yeah I don't want him to get sent down for Jo's murder, unfair that Faisal wouldn't be known as a cold blooded killer.

Finally watched the final three episodes last night. Brilliant TV. Loved it.
But can someone help me out with these questions?

Why WHY wasn't TLR handcuffed when he was in court? Is it something we just don't do here, even with multiple murderers?

Why wouldn't there be a cop keeping an eye on Catherine's house as it was an obvious location for TLR to head to at some point?

DH and I agreed that it was ridiculous that CC, RC and Richard were all allowed to head out unescorted when he was first in the run.

TLR was an evil psychopath but I loved how they showed that Ryan meant the world to him, and that he was happy that he'd had a good life. He was fucked up by nature and nurture so didn't stand a chance, but he understood a little that Ryan did.

Final point. Would you let a 13yo watch I? My sister let my almost - 13yo DN watch the finale and implied I was a Pearl clutches when I said I was a bit shocked!

I think Andy Shepherd - DCI - wasn’t convinced about Rob being the killer. And Rob didn’t behave like a killer. He was very relaxed about his house being investigated. I like to think that CC’s throwaway comment about Faisal living 100 yards from Jo would lead to him being caught.
