FRAUDS - sun 5/mon 6 Oct - itv 9pm - TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Excited squeak. Been waiting for this as have seen sooooooooo many trailers for it

finally have a date. Starts sun 5 October and will run for 3w on a Sunday and Monday

The full series of six episodes will become available on ITVX on Sunday 5th October, if you binge don’t reply on here lol 😛😛😘😘

The series, which has been created by Jones and her Maryland co-writer Anne-Marie O'Connor, sees Jones play Bert, a conwoman who is released from prison on compassionate grounds, and calls her friend Sam, played by Whittaker, with the offer to team up and pull off the art heist of the century.

The synopsis for the series says: "Bert and Sam embark on the most audacious of art thefts, gathering a talented team of outcasts to help them plan this audacious crime.

"Whilst the team must overcome numerous challenges before they can pull off the heist, it’s the power struggle between Bert and Sam that threatens to derail their plans and destroy them both.

Set against the epic rolling hills of southern Spain and the dark criminal underbelly that casts a shadow over the glistening coast, Frauds is a complex and addictive story of friendship, deception and survival."

The series also stars Elizabeth Berrington, Christian Cooke, Karan Gill and Talisa García.

Jones has most recently been seen starring in Netflix thriller Hostage (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/hostage-netflix-ending-explained/), while she will also appear in Aimee Lou Wood's upcoming romantic comedy-drama Film Club (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/film-club-bbc-cast-suranne-jones-newsupdate/).

Meanwhile, Whittaker starred in Toxic Town (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/toxic-town-netflix-cast/) earlier this year and returned to Doctor Who (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-season-16-release-date/) for Ncuti Gatwa's final episode.

Her Paramount+ thriller series One Night (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/one-night-itv-release-date-newsupdate/) has also recently arrived on ITV, and she will soon be seen in the BBC's adaptation of acclaimed theatrical production Dear England (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/dear-england-bbc-jodie-whittaker-cast-newsupdate/).

The cast also features Talisa García, known for roles in Baptiste and Blurred, Elizabeth Berrington (Lost Boys an Fairies, Stella) as magician’s assistant Jackie Diamond, Christian Cooke (Rematch, Love, Rosie) as Bradfordian money lender Deeg and Lee Boardman (Enola Holmes, Andor) as Jackie’s mediocre magician husband Craig.

It’s awful,I usually love suranne jones.watched the start of episode 2 & thought I cannot waste time on this drivel.

Think this was a ‘pay off the mortgage on the second home’ job for the two leads (and who can blame them).

Yes I know. No spoilers included, just saying I didn’t like it. Just my opinion.

It’s on Telly addicts ( can’t do links) but started a spoiler thread!
No spoilers on blonds main one here!!

Spoiler thread this way https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/telly_addicts/5425886-frauds-spoiler-thread thanks @the80sweregreat

E3 tonight

Watched it a little early. I thought it was very fun. Not one for binge watching enjoyment I think.

DH is saying it’s like a Jodie Whittaker Spanish Ocean’s 11

I like the easy go ness of it and their plans

reminds me of hustle

Yeah it's very Sunday night.

Blondes I'm off travelling now until the end of the month so I'll be doing a big catch up when I return on all these shows and come back to see what you all thought!

How lovely @daffodilandtulip. Have a fab time x

Sooooo she’s lying about the cancer

Thank you!

E3 recap

E4 tonight

I wonder if Sam will find out she’s lying about the cancer

I hope she will as that seems the only reason she is doing the job as her last fling

There are a lot of secrets

Gosh the magician husband is awful

We thought it might be a revenge thing and now we have a motive for revenge

It’s getting rather complex. Magicians husband would have killed her if hadn’t moved

And sam is a grass /informant ?

It’s her fault that their last job got caught and Bert sent to prison ?

Recap e4

https://reelmockery.com/frauds-series-1-episode-4-recap/

I watched the first two episodes then gave up it is dire! I like both actresses but this is just utter tosh.

Bert is incredibly annoying. I know it’s her character, but you would run a mile from that one!

I find her very annoying too .

Not sure why I'm still watching it , the story is way OTT. TThe long lost daughter changing from a waitress to an instant criminal. The scene where one of them dropped a bottle of water and Bert pretended her waters had broken. Was it meant to be funny .

The Channel 5 dramas are better than this !
