New 4 part drama starting this week - thriller

An unexpected inheritance has chilling consequences in this domestic thriller starring Eleanor Tomlinson as Amanda Blakefield, whose ordinary life is turned upside down when she's left a vast sum by a deceased man she's never heard of.

But the mystery legacy draws her into a bitter entanglement with a family whose past is full of shocking secrets.

Matthew Lewis also stars as Amanda's husband Jimmy, alongside Denis Lawson as the mysterious benefactor, Martin Worral while Rebecca Front is his widow, Fiona, and All Creatures star Call Woodhouse is their son, Anthony.

Look out for Paula Wilcox as Amandas mum Linda and Stephen Tomlinson as Boots

Just seen a clip /trailer. Hoping it will be good

Starts tonight. Seeing a lot of good reviews

Love Denis Lawson. Starting this now

I’m behind as well due to work

It’s not gripping me at the moment but I’ll persevere with it.

Same. But definitely going to stick with it as I like Eleanor Tomlinson and hoping we might see some flash backs with Dennis Lawson

A few years back there was a "Pensioners i would do" thread and Denis Lawson was on it

😂 I understand that completely 🙈

Unlikely story like many channel 5 dramas but I will keep on watching! Can't see why she didn't tell her husband straight away.

Intriguing and easy in that ridiculously watchable channel 5 way! I quite enjoyed it.

I reckon the husband is in debt - what do others think? Or affair with Sandy?

I enjoyed it. Good actors. Intrigued and I think her husband is behind it all possibly.

I think her husband has something to do with it too

I’m intrigued but there were elements of it I found a bit tropey and a bit unrealistic. The parent with dementia sitting in a winged back chair staring out of the window and the mysterious gardener are things I’ve seen hundreds of times. I didn’t understand why she didn’t tell her husband and why she wasn’t pleased for even a second about the idea she had inherited loads of money. That seemed very unrealistic. Also annoyed me beyond belief she stored her husband’s number as ‘husband’ in her phone and where they were preparing dinner she got out frozen chips while he peeled potatoes. What were they going to eat? Chips and mash?

Gripped me but we all know I have a low bar with tv 😂

chips were for the boy with fish fingers and peas

guessing mash for them

Hubby seems in debt but why

mum said she misses him so guessing her dementia mind read and remembers him

could he be her dad

but why leave all to her and not his wife and son

why was he in the cafe having a pic

amazed they don’t have their gates shut or any one can get up the drive /to the house

I guess so but that wouldn’t happen in my house. Everyone eats one thing. Would not be doubling up the work.

Indeed !!

E2 tonight

Not sure why Amanda has been secretive about the inheritance with Jimmy but he seems to be hiding something too , so maybe she has her suspicions .

She got straight out of the taxi when she got to the house she inherited without paying. Wish that happened here !

@butterpuffed ah where I am most of our various taxi companies you can pay via the app so cash not needed
