VIGIL S2 - bbc 1 9pm - sun mon Tue - TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

This is tv paced !!!!

The highly-anticipated sequel will see DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and DS Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) look into a dark conspiracy in the world of the British Air Force in a brand new investigation.

Following a string of suspicious fatalities the pair must enter the secret world of drone warfare to catch a killer — and we can hardly wait!

An official synopsis from the BBC reads as follows...
"Following multiple deaths at a Scottish weapons test, Silva and Longacre are tasked with finding out the cause.

Entering the closed ranks of the air force in Scotland and the Middle East, the pair face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own uncertain future."

Creator Tom Edge had previously dropped a few hints that he would look for a different setting for the drama.

“We have probably told as many of the stories as we would wish to tell on a submarine,” he told Radio Times (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/vigil-season-2-renewed-newsupdate/). “But some of the characters that we have developed as we’ve made it, they feel like characters that we’d love to burrow into. So if there’s a will to do it from everyone else then certainly I would be up for it.”

I’m delighted that Suranne and Rose are returning to reprise their roles as DCI Amy Silva and DI Kirsten Longacre," said the show's creator Tom Edge in a BBC statement.

"I'm grateful to the BBC for the opportunity to take them on a thrilling new adventure. World Productions have built a fantastic reputation for twisting, turning thrillers and this one corkscrews with the best of them.”

With more than 10 million viewers tuning in to watch the first episode in the week following its release, it was the UK's most successful original drama since Bodyguard (https://www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/bodyguard-season-2-cast-plot-and-all-we-know) launched in 2018.
Now creator Tom Edge has penned a second series, with Suranne Jones and Ro
se Leslie both returning, plus some exciting new stars. Here's everything we know so far...

Your tv call as requested 😂😂

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun I’ll give it a go. I can’t remember the back stories of the characters though.

Recorder is set. Thank you for the reminder.

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

I'm not a particular fan of Suranne's acting, but will see how it goes.

Thanks Blondes. I'll be watching although I wish the lead was anyone other than the constantly gurning Suranne Jones

thank you, i might be avoiding this

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun , your notifications are always welcome but I'm another who's not keen on Suranne Jones so I'll probably give this one a miss .

I know some don't like SJ

But the plot was good tho confusing in s1

The absolute neck of them still having Martin Compston in the trailer! 😂

Ha ha @mrstea301 I have t seen the trailer

Maybe he comes back as a ghost

Or

They do flashbacks again

I liked this, so will have a watch, especially if Shrine are doing a podcast on it

Oh yes @JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon

Their shrine was fab

Thank you for the heads up @Blondeshavemorefun

Recap of end of series one

reelmockery.com/vigil-season-1-episode-6-finale-recap/amp/

To refresh our brains

This start tomorrow night

I've downloaded this so will watch 8/9 due to celeb final

But won't say anything till 10 and finished

I’m irritated already, we’re not allowed to wander about with our jackets undone in blues, and we don’t wear belts outside our jackets in greens!

I'm checking in - I loved series one - only watched it a couple of weeks ago.

The safety and control systems for these weapons seem totally inadequate. I think there should have been more of a risk assessment.

Apparently the British Air Force is not as bothered about that kind of thing as the Royal Air Force! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well at least there is a log of what login was used. Not that that's ever going to be a very reliable indicator of who was sitting at the controls.

So who do we think did it

I liked it, but then I do like the two female leads.

I thought the drones looked rubbish.

A lot of potential dead-ends to investigate, some of which seem very silly.

But at least none of the major players have a deep seated phobia of drones to contend with during the investigations.

Thought there were 4

But the man said 2 here accounted for and 3 in Scotland. So that's 5

Do we have a stray one

So not one of the 4 as chap man said he would bet his life on those 4 being innocent
