Two weeks in August / SPOILERS SPOILERS …

[the80sweregreat]

Watching at tv pace , it doesn’t end for ages , but as it’s all on I player obviously some may have watched it all.
I admit that I’ve been at a loose end and needed something to watch this week.
What do others think ? I did enjoy it. It was a strange drama and I can’t tell if it was satire or a black comedy or just the holiday from hell! Or all three.
The policeman made me laugh ( how lovely was he) and a few quips. Some really good acting too.
I feel guilty for binging it.

Ah not a cool girl at all; from the BBC website:
”Two Weeks in August’s lead director is Tom George (This Country, Sherwood) who will direct episodes 1-4. Matthew Moore (The Great, Colin from Accounts) will direct episodes 5-8. ”
Edited to add: the scriptwriter was Catherine Shepherd, who played Zoe’s mother. I knew I recognised her from something and it was Peepshow!

I love that book.

Thanks, sorry I was wrong - well this explains everything! It was two different men. I misread this:

Created by
Catherine Shepherd
Written by
Catherine Shepherd

No I actually think you’re right, thinking about it; the directors would just be carrying out the creator/scriptwriter’s vision so ultimately a woman is behind it.

I thought of that book during the weird party scene too. It was a well delivered scene - quite uncomfortable.
