Yes, I am looking forwards to the last one this week.
I have enjoyed them, reminds me of the plays on radio four I listened to a child. I should get back into listening again!

I’ve still got number 3 to watch but have enjoyed the first two. It’s nice to have a one off drama as so many series are drawn out far too long over 6-8 episodes these days!

All wrapped up in an hour! It is good

Yes I’ve watched the first two. I watched the second one w (adult) DS. He didn’t know what a ‘play’ (in terms of TV) was, I suppose there are rarely one-off programmes.
i thought the second play was excellent- I felt so bad for the Sue Johnston character and could so see how the whole scenario could happen.

The Sue Johnston one. She could have waited another few weeks for the cash , taken half and then gone.
It annoyed me that she played her hand far too early!

@Friendlyfart i won’t post any spoilers but I will say that by the end of the episode I felt equally sorry for them both
