Based on original run on the BBC from 1970 to 1984 on separate weekly plots

With so great names including the lovely Daniel Mays , Joel Fry and Amit Shah in e 1

👏🏻 marking place. Just been reading about this - looking forward to it

I love the seperate stories

bit like tales of the unexpected

Iv seen a trailer of this. Looks really funny /good

E1 is tonight

all separate stories

Daniel mays JOE Fry and amit shah star in the survival drama comedy set in the breathtaking yet unforgiving Highlands as a men’s annual wild camping trip unravel into a battle of Egos and survival

Love these!
The second one was really awful. Trapped by herself.
Special Measures was good but I think the second storyline was unnecessary. The carnage of the school was enough.

I vaguely rem s1

school ofsted- lottery - bloody body on door and can’t rem the 4th one

Wild is just awful. The actors are normally good, but the script is boring and clunky and I am not invested in them at all. Too annoying.

I really liked the ones during season one as well.
I used to love the plays on the radio , but haven’t listened to one in many years!

I liked it till the end - felt it wasn’t a proper ending

I enjoyed it. But I agree about the end. I don’t like endings that aren’t endings.

Same

Agree . They are good actors , but this one , terrible .
I guess you are only as good as the script .
Said to my husband the actors must be broke !

guess money is money

I suppose it’s fairly cheap tv to make with these plays. Not many characters in them and filmed in one place ( usually )
Maybe the next ones may be more my cup of tea.

It was pretty shit wasn't it

You're right, it was absolutely shit..

It was just the ending that was crap

did they really think they would find the GPS

I thought that one would die or Lou would reveal that he was end of life.
The ending was dire

Yes I did think maybe only 2 would come back

Sorry just found series 2.

Yes Wild was bad. Mostly because it’s just an outdated troupe. 3 uni blokes “ going down” together. Apparently better fun than relocating wuth your girlfriend, living with asthma or being as average bloke.
As soon as he couldn’t dispatch the rabbit I knew how it was going to end.

E2 tonight

witty comedy as a stubborn grandmother changed herself to her beloved cottage when it’s threatened with demolition by high speed train developers

staring Phyllis Logan

Ooh I forgot this was on tonight! Thank you for the reminder. Looking forward to it
