I want to switch off, it is so realistic and painful, you know its going to end badly, have switched on mumsnet so I can detach.

I am, and it is making me very sad and anxious

jkklpu · 14/07/2009 21:44

should do the same, really but also have to finish polishing shoes and get stuff ready for work/nursery tomorrow
fab cast - I LOVE Anna Maxwell Martin

squeaver · 14/07/2009 21:44

Me too. Dh and I both agree - don't think we can watch it to the end.

squeaver · 14/07/2009 21:45

And DH has just explained to me how a "discounted mortgage" works. I feel sick.

DH wants to watch until end and it was my idea to switch it on, I hate it when I get tied up in these things.

Don't usually watch anything that finishes later than 10 but paper gave it a great review so gave it a try, even though missed first 10 mins

EyePeam · 14/07/2009 21:47

argh wanted to watch this and just switched on. can anyone give me a v quick precis of the story so far please?

oopsacoconut · 14/07/2009 21:47

I am hiding on here too cringing at it. It is soo real!

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:47

how does it work?

i know this isn't going to end well. I do not like Dominic Cooper's character, very annoyed as loved him in Mamma Mia!

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:48

sorry that question was to sqeaver.

ToutFucker · 14/07/2009 21:49

Yes, Anna M-M is always brilliant

Dominic Cooper is very good in this too

angelene · 14/07/2009 21:50

Sarah Harding was hilariously awful though!

OOh yes Sarah H was shockingly bad

ToutFucker · 14/07/2009 21:54

yes, I tried really hard to give Sarah H a fair chance but she was awful

the hair extensions just made me larf too

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:55

her hair looked plastic

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:55

her hair looked plastic

squeaver · 14/07/2009 21:55

Nan - just like they've found out. First year, you pay very small amounts then it goes up dramatically.

Horrendous.

foxinsocks · 14/07/2009 21:56

which one is which

loved the daughter (of the wanky banker)

squeaver · 14/07/2009 21:56

Agree on the hair. Looked like dd's Girls World.

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:56

it's very realistic. saw the bloke with the 2 kids on breakfast news this morning and he said that most of it was improvised.

NanBullen · 14/07/2009 21:57

do not like the irish banker

foxinsocks · 14/07/2009 22:01

ah ok got who is who

I'd sell the car

frecklyspeckly · 14/07/2009 22:17

how grim is this , the wanky banker not fit to polish perfect Pikes shoes!!

saramoon · 15/07/2009 10:03

Watched this last night and don't usually watch anything past 10 either but was glued to it. Very depresssing and scarily real. Sarah Harding wasn't very good was she?
We are hoping to buy a house next year through a key worker scheme as i am a teacher and went to bed worrying about it after watching it.

I was looking forward to seeing this after reading some of the hype about it, but I thought it was disappointing. The acting was brilliant (Anna Maxwell Martin, Aiden Gillen and Dominic Cooper, especially), but the writing was bloody awful. Stereotyped characters and a predictable storyline - I started to wonder if it was supposed to be fable-like, and found myself admiring the acting technique
