Anyone watching 'Flood' ?

[PictureThis]

scary potential in the extreme.

well i is buggered i live in london!

Time to move to a house on a hill

What chanel is/was it on? I might be able to catch a repeat.

I'm right on the Thames, so if the Barrier ever fails my building will be underwater within minutes.

Lots of lovely British character actors in this. Am enjoying the drama and will definitely switch on for part 2 tomorrow.

I did watch last night and will watch again tonight but god, the acting is shite!

how very dare you about the great great sir robert of carlyle!

I agree some of the acting was a bit ropey, but I really enjoyed it.

So did I - but the acting, particularly the head honcho woman of Cobra did tend to overact IMO. Made me chuckle though!

What's with the super fast camera shots though wehre they speed up? Really drove me mad!

am i safe in highgate! I live at the highest point

We lasted about 15 seconds and then watched 24 instead.

That film was complete shit, we turned it off after about 40 minutes.
Read the book by Richard Doyle, miles better - also very scary stuff. My mum lives in near one of the areas that gets flooded!

Part 2 about to start now.

It is really silly and a bit hammy but I'm enjoying it - need something to watch while I do the ironing! Though claustrophobic tunnels full of water - urgh one of my worst nightmares.

OK am I missing something - why don't people just go into high buildings? There's plenty of them in central London. And why did that idiotic man and his daughter stay in their car inside the underground car park (which was obviously going to get flooded)? And how did the deputy prime minister et al drive from Whitehall (Cobra) to "Cobra 2" without getting caught in gridlock??? There are so many questions about this load of tripe....but I'll probably still watch the 2nd half which we currently have recording!

robert carlisle's bird will live. he will probably cop it.

the daughter will live, the chap's going to snuff it.

Watched it last night, twas ok.

Realised part two is another two hours [yawn] and decided to watch Batman instead!

i know its all very disaster. But the fit young underground worker would get a good (slightly soggy) seeing too! Well if you are wet and waiting to be rescued you may as well!

I am wondering where all the rats are?

They're all probably nice and dry in the MANY TALL BUILDINGS in London.

We got it out on dvd Sat night, not realising that it was on tv! Complete waste of money. The dvd was dire; we couldn't think of a worse film. Is it better on tv? Seems much longer - 2hrs on 2 nights? They must have cut a lot from the film, which made it truly appalling, or else there are a heck of a lot of adverts.

good point why are they not in the high buildings?

it's really, really, really DUMB.

I kept saying that to DH - all those muppets running down the street as the water headed towards them. Why not just leg it into the nearest tall building and run like chuff up the stairs?

Because that would be far too easy
