Blondeshavemorefun · 25/06/2009 17:27

i am JUST too honest!!!!

FigmentOfYourImagination · 25/06/2009 17:29

i can't see all the fuss about freddie.

the girl who plays jimmy's wife is beautiful though

Rollergirl1 · 25/06/2009 19:55

Actually he definitely looks better in some of these

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/06/2009 10:26

although freddy isnt sexy he does make a good nutter

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/06/2009 10:53

isnt anyone going to comment about what happened to little jimmy

Frasersmum123 · 02/07/2009 10:52

I know BHMF - It was horrid and really well acted.

Last nights episode really took me by surprise, I dont remember it being like that in the book.

I hope they do another book soon, Two Women would be fab!

Bad fillers in Jackie's lips methinks.

I think there'll be a wave of adaptations now. I've read quite a few of the books but they all seem to blend into one. MIL is a devotee, when I'm reading one I've borrowed from her I can't help but picture this little white haired 71 year old devouring all the "Fuck off, you fucking nonce" drugs, torture and violence. Bizarre.

Ive sky+ it its already got me weeping and its only 5 mins in.

AuntieMaggie · 02/07/2009 19:48

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/07/2009 16:45

really PISSES me off when they change endings

STAMPS FOOT

AuntieMaggie · 04/07/2009 17:44

Thank yu blonde I didn't think so

Did he die like that in the book? I don't remember it like that!

tiredemma · 04/07/2009 17:48

Two Women is my absolute favourite MC book.

The Take book doesnt finish anything like the SKY1 programme. IIRC Freddie is murdered by JImmy in a warehouse (although I may be getting it mixed up with another MC book- they all end the same)

Did anyone else think that Jackie looked like Ken Barlows bit on the side off the canal boat at the end?

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/07/2009 17:57

yep freddie got murdered

and jimmy and wife spilt up as he couldnt hack her sleeping with freddy, though they do have a shag

then goes into future and turns out that she was pregnant with jimmys child, they get back together and they have a boy and all ends well (as it can)

the jump shown years ago also changed at the end

AuntieMaggie · 04/07/2009 22:38

but was it jimmy's wife that killed him? i thought i remembered that Jimmy killed him and as he was killing him that's when Freddy told him about them having sex.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/07/2009 09:32

aunt maggie - i am so anal sad that i had to go upstairs and re read the last few pages of book

they had a row, jackies daughter told jimmy about freddy raping his wife (heard in garage)

and then jimmy kills freddy, little freddy hangs himself in a junior detention centre and jackie commits suicide as said cant live without big freddy

jimmy goes on a 2mth rampage of sex and then gets back together with wife who is pregnant, and they have their child

all is happy

ozzy wasnt killed either

AuntieMaggie · 05/07/2009 09:35

thank you - was going to sneak a read in asda later!

i was so sure that maggie didn't kill him and it was jimmy in a violent manner.

feels a bit like the ending was rushe in the tv version to be honest which is a shame.

tiredemma · 05/07/2009 09:40

And also (in the book)- Didnt they only realise that it was little Freddie who killed Little Jimmy because he killed the pet rabbit in the same way?????

(or am I mad???)

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/07/2009 09:40

no probs

glad you are anal sad like me
it does piss me off when they change endings

if the book was good enough to do as a tv prog, why alter it?[hhm]

tiredemma · 05/07/2009 09:41

I was realy disappointed with the SKY1 end tbh- quite an anti-climax.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/07/2009 09:55

tiredemma - yes you are right, though think the tv did mention that jimmy knew freddy did it, and then jimmy got cross with little jimmy

mammyknowsbest · 05/07/2009 22:57

Thought this was brilliant (must read the book now) What a fantastic actor, did you notice when he was about to do something mean / bad his eyes changed. How the hell did he do that ???

stressed2007 · 07/07/2009 16:01

I have to say that link to the photos of Tom Hardy are totally fabulous. He is absolutely gorgeous in some of those photos.

stressed2007 · 07/07/2009 16:02

Does anyone know what the music played at the start of each programme is?

tiredemma · 07/07/2009 17:03

stressed- its Kasabian- Club Foot
