Queenie far nicer on tv than i remember htinking...

Oh, I've got this Sky+'d.

I-player Tnog.

I-player, of course.

Thanks, MoveIt.

god its a fab thing
i wish i hadnt seen so could watch again
televisual nice glass of wine

i watched this on iplayer this morning and i loved it although i was confused when it came to gilbert and michael - i got them mixed up.
when is the second part on ?

just googled - sunday 9pm

next Sun.
enjoyed it too.

It wasn't as good as the book... wait! I didn't like the book.

Sorry to rain on the parade ladies.

I did quite like the book. The program was just as I'd imagined the characters - but it did sort of skim stuff so it all seems to happen very fast. But I guess they have to for it. Shame though, it's missing a lot of humour. Especially with Gilbert and his wife.

I thought it was great - enjoyed the book and enjoyed this adaptation. Queenie was a little "softer" than I'd imagined but Hortense was played perfectly. The interiors and 1940s settings were brilliantly recreated.

Really made me think what it must have been like to arrive in this "small island" from Jamaica - a shock on so many fronts I imagine.

I haven't seen it yet but have recorded it.

Is there anything in it that wouldn't be suitable for an 11 year old (graphic sex scenes etc)? I want us to watch it for his WW2 history stuff.

I LOVED the book- might watch it on Iplayer today.

i didn't like the book either. A Levy could have done so much better, lousy plotting.

there is one sex scene of them completely naked him on top of queenie but you cant see anything of their anatomy - well maybe a bit of bum no boobs though .
that was the best bit

Bugger.

I forgot it was starting. Will iplayer tonight then sky+ the rest.

Is it a two parter? Can't series link tomorrows episode.

Yep. 2 parter. First was last sunday.

I thought it was good. DH liked it more than the book.

Agree Hortense is just right.
