MO? who's watching and why is julie walters doing her normal voice?

[AitchTwoOhOneOh]

i've been looking forward to this.

Think the 'cocks off the table' thing was a direct quote!

MmeLindt - it has been suggested that her brain tumour made her even more disinhibited than she already was.

he's playing Adam Ingram - was also Billy Elliott's dad in the film starring JW.

Adam Ingram

i had one but wanted to watch tonight with you lot.

Ooh Peter Kilfoyle, I edited a book by him recently. I have about two degrees of separation from half the people in this film

adam ingram is played by gary lewis. my mate shagged him.

((hi aitch! tickets please!!))

oh NO, i know that means something i just can't think what.

Her friend had sex with Gary Lewis

lol, YES, that's it.

I am watching, cause lots of it was filmed in Hillsborough Castle, which is right in the middle of our vilage - keep getting little glimses.

Tissues out here.

oh dear i don't like to think of her becoming so embittered at the end. i hope that party scene wasn't true.

i think i'd have written this drama very differnetly, the idea that the tumour may have provided her much-loved character is really fascinating but only touched on at the end. missed a big trick there, i think.

4/10

workmanlike, imo. who wrote it?

neil mckay. wrote the moors murderers thing that i didn't like, apart from that mostly holbys and heartbeats.

It was not really gripping. I was MNetting and searching for ferries/flights throughout.

Agree that the notion of her character being formed by the tumour was an interesting premise that was not really followed up on.

Blair, and particularly Mandy did not come off well.

Mmm yeah, Holby is about right. Lord, there are so many great writers out there - why do they commission such honkers?

I've been looking at bunkhouses in the west country

why did they cast the "very naughty husband indeed" from FWAAF as Jon Norton - I couldn:t take him seriously> A pity. Also portrayed david Trimble in a poor light, imho> The actor playing Trimble looked like Jon Norton, which confused me

My take on it was that the bitterness was the personality change.

someone like frank deasy would have brought out the darkness i think, or donna franceschild for the feminism and politics. what was her motivation, really? a drunk dad? the cancer? where did that sister spring from?

felt like he'd just sat down and transcribed her autobiography tbh.
