I'm also surprised it's a right hand drive and they drive on the left side like U.K.

That's unusual isn't it abroad

In Cyprus, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road.

That graveyard scene had me howling. I just cannot believe the acting. It's like Acorn Antiques.

Is it the last episode tonight?

No. 2 more @RosaMoline

Tonight 3

Thur 4

Appallingly bad, but I'm here for it

Crossroads sprang to mind for me. Awful script, awful acting.

Yep. The whole plot is implausible, but that took the biscuit!

I hope she realises the other woman is down that well and let's the police / the woman's daughter know.

It’s so bad, it’s good!!

I wonder if it's meant to be a comedy?

Errm - the guy's got her passport, which probably means he also has her phone ... Emma really must have been at the back of the queue when they were handing out brain cells! 😂

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun xx

Knew it was going to be bad when the main character and the baddie had the exact same edition of Wuthering Heights both with the same mocked up looking cover. As if. 😆

I like Sally Lindsay, and Madam Blanc is a lot of fun, but I think I'll give this one a miss. Fun reading the thread, though! 😃

Tbh we know ch5 drama = cheesy plots

But it's easy watching

I do think niki isn't the big bad boss tho and it's estate agent Roman T who is the baddie

New one starts next week

On Blondes Broadcasts 😂

I don't think so but most channel 5 dramas make us laugh ! They're a good source of entertainment !

I would love to know where her dresses and cardi/cover ups are from?

I would love to know where her dresses and cardi/cover ups are from?
From the Madame Blanc wardrobe.

I think the actress playing her daughter was in The Bay. Similar acting job for her!

I agree with you all, it's terrible but addictive. When Ramon's character pulled out the gun, I just laughed! Not the response the writers were probably expecting. I'll keep watching, but it's not going to win any awards!

Sally def seems to like ch5 dramas with cold call and madam blanc

She must be like ant and dec who do itv

It’s comical ! Not what I was expecting it’s more like a farce than a drama…

Cyprus looks nice never been…anyone know where it was filmed?

Yep the daughter was in the Bay

I'm getting really irritated with her character. Lumbering around like a lump when she should be getting the hell away , she's pathetic and not how I imagine anyone would behave in that situation. Not a very good actress .

I tend to agree she is irritating
