SPOILERS : Boat story ..

[the80sweregreat]

On bbc one Sunday and Mondays
Six parts
So far only up to episode four and hope to finish soon.
Anyone wishing to post spoilers can here , but not on the other main thread
Loving the darkness of it and I think Samuel is dodgy ( as it's mentioned during the play , episode two I think ?)

I liked this a lot very funny once you got used to the buckets of blood etc. Anyway, someone help me out. The 2 dead guys on the boat. Did they kill each other? If not who shot the last one alive? There should, according to Le Tailleur, be 2 dodgy drug stealing coppers. One is dead on the boat where is the other?

I assumed that the other dodgy cop died at the police station ? Although it wasn't made very clear.

Was the dead cop’s boyfriend the other dodgy cop ?
I can’t remember the beginning- I might not have paid attention til later when it found its stride.

Oh I should have paid more attention to it, it was a bit fast and furious for me. It's now occurred to me that there would also have been another boat, the one that brought dodgy cop1 to the drug boat. What happened to that? I'm never going to find out. Unless series 2.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel
Yes I agree - it would have been a much better ending in many ways!

I liked the red herrings - the fake head and saying that Samuel knew about the boat. And even acknowledging that was done to make people keep watching 😄

Was it Janet that left the money for Samuel's wife and daughter? He'd lost it all hadn't he?

That was clever!
and yes, Janet took Samuel’s share and gave it to his family.

Off subject but I loved Janet's hair.

I am on ep 3. I am enjoying it. I love 'The Tailor.' I have a secret crush on him! 😍

Daisy Haggard ( Janet ) is in ' back to life' and she is fab in that too. It might still be on I player

To start with I didn’t think I would keep watching. It was too violent for me and completely daft. However, I stuck with it and I have to say that it turned out to be brilliant. The acting was superb. I absolutely loved Janet and Pat. It’s great to see women acting such strong characters. Janet’s Russian moment was hilarious and brilliantly acted.

I was gutted for PC Ben Tooh!

We were the same, we gave up on it after 10 minutes because of the combination of extreme violence and annoying narrator but then I saw people on here raving about it and convinced dh to give it another go.

I was revolted by the first episode and stopped. But reading this thread made me go back to it, and yes, superb 👏🏼

why did the tailer pretend to lose his keys?
was shocked that robin of sherwood was killed off so quick.

i LOVED how the smart guy lawyer was so pathetic but she was so bloody smart!!!

Best thing i've watched in ages ...all of it

It was good wasn't it ? Different and I did not predict any of it either !!

It is still available. We’re watching it and it’s brilliant. Thanks for the recommendation. The quirky humour completely cracks me up.

Just finished

I got into it as it progressed and enjoyed it
