THE AU PAIR- mon 10 - thur 13 March - ch 5 -TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

We love a ch5 drama. Usually unbelievable but fun to watch

A chilling new drama series is coming to Channel 5 in the coming weeks, with none other than Sir David Suchet in one of the leading roles.

The new series is coming to Channel 5 on Monday 10th March at 9pm, as it promises to delve "into the complexities of family, trust and hidden truths, against the backdrop of the picturesque British countryside".

Episodes will air across four nights, with the finale airing on Thursday 13th March at 9pm.

The Au Pair would air on the channel, telling the story of a diabetic father (Agatha Christie's Poirot star Suchet) who moves next door to his daughter Zoe (Beyond Paradise (www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/beyond-paradise-season-3-bbc-release-date/)'s Sally Bretton).

But when Zoe hires French au pair Sandrine (Ludmilla Makowski), she triggers an unsettling shift in the household.

Sally Bretton, of Not Going Out, Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise fame, is leading the cast as mother-of-two Zoe Dalton. David Suchet plays her father George.

Vera's Kenny Doughty plays Zoe’s husband Chris. Lupin's Ludmilla Makowski is Sandrine, the "beguiling young French woman", who Zoe hires as an au pair.

Zoe is a woman who appears to have everything: a handsome and successful husband, two adorable stepchildren and a stunning home in a beautiful English town.

But, you guessed it, everything is about to go wrong for Zoe.

Yes, Zoe makes the unwise decision to hire Sandrine as an au pair. She's described as a young French woman who "triggers an unsettling shift in the household, as instincts and suspicions arise, hinting at hidden agendas and long-concealed truths".

The makers also hint that not everything is as it seems in Zoe's marriage. And that the couple are facing marital issues, while Zoe's dad George moving in next door further complicates life.

The series is written by Michael Foott (Desperate Measures) and Andy Bayliss (The Good Ship Murder (www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/the-good-ship-murder-cast-plot-trailer-and-everything-we-know)
).

Blonds
I read a preview of this in next week's tv guide.
My first thought was that it sounds very similar to the one with Jill halfpenny that was in last year and I could sort of predict how it would play out too. Might be worth a watch just for this thread though and maybe a glimpse of another ' Pauline behind a curtain ' moment '
..

Would love to see Pauline behind the curtain again @the80sweregreat😂

or

the one behind plastic with blonde lady Tanya from ee - Hiding from her dh with a. Nail gun

yes I thought that about similar

will ap seduce dh

There was only a small article about it , but just from the synopsis I could ( almost ) work out what will happen!
Plus I've read too many books with similar themes too.

Unless so goes after the mum 😂

Sounds good and actors I already know , so should be good .

It’s ch 5

easy watching

Starts tomorrow and on all week

I saw a couple of trailers for this last night . It looked typical channel 5 . I think it'll give me a laugh hopefully !

It will be cheesy but we will enjoy it

It have the fabulous David Suchet though!

So much on at 9

what shall I watch before 🙀

I do like on every night but I also need to keep on top of it and watch every night

I plan to flit between the two. Will start with the bay and at advert break come on to ch5 and watch 5mins off the au pair 😂

will prob totally confuse myself

Oh. Hope it’s not all foreign and subtitles

Ah. Thank god. Guess was French as in France 😂

That beautiful dress ruined 😠
Zoe actress was in ' not going out ' !

It's pretty terrible acting so far!

The acting is dire
The house is gorgeous though

Even for C5 this is terrible.

So many expensive dresses and no alarm, no cameras.

Beautiful house, terrible acting, hopeless plot.

What did she put in the soup that worked so quickly?

I feel I already know what will happen.
She would definitely have cctv in her workshop place. They seem very trusting

I'm finding the last few posts hilarious! I'm so pleased I'm not the only one finding it dire! I think the writing isn't very good either.
Still watching though😁

Well, there is a curtain that Sandrine hides behind.
But the biggest mystery is why David Suchet signed up for such drivel.
And why do kids at a posh school get there by walking through a woods? 🤔
