Accused

Realised I'd missed it when I looked at the tv listings late last night. Hope it's on iplayer. Jimmy McGovern isn't it? I'd imagine it was very harrowing; must get to see it.

Very well worth watching; the one thing that stretched credibility for me, was how Bean's character managed to maintain a very nice flat and expensive clothes merely teaching English to half a dozen adolescents. ;-)

Sean Bean and Jimmy McGovern - brilliant combination. Did see Sean bean on the One Show earlier and thought he could do with shower.

I used to love Sean Bean but he does always look disheveled and hung over lately ... I must catch up with this online if I can

Trishs , Crimson good comments but it was I thought , sort of fantasy [smil]

Excellent drama and the conclusion was intelligent, and made me want to watch the next three programmes, if they are anything like that one.

Was it Jimmy McGoven who used to write 'The Street'? What a combination of pathos and sadness; used to feel physically drained after watching it. We rave on about nordic noir [and quite rightly so] but then forget some of the amazing stuff we produce over here. I used to like Steven Poliakoff [sp]stuff as well, but it hasn't been so good of late.

I enjoyed it but everything this greatly talented man writes is excellent always has been,I thought it kept you thinking right up until the end (won't spoil it for those not viewed as yet)

Nonu, in what way fantasy? There are many people like the two main characters. I have known some. A TV gets sexual arousal from cross dressing. A cross dresser just cross dresses. And a drag queen is a caricature of a female. Any one of them can be straight, gay or bisexual. I count several transgendered people and a couple of cross-dressers amongst my friends.

Don"t get me wrong that wasn"t a Dig at any one in fact I have a very dear friend who is gay ! but not often one sees that side of life on television . Who was the victim in it all of it .? BIG

I'm annoyed that I missed this! I've got so used to there being nothing on BBC1 except Olympics that I just never bothered to look last night.....
(with myself!)

Can't really answer the victim question (even if I was sure of the answer) as it would spoil things for those who have yet to view

I am cross because it is Wednesday and this week's Radio Times hasn't arrived yet! Is there a problem with the post in the UK? When I complained once before the lady from Radio Times suggested I went out and bought it, but strangely enough there are not too may copies in the newsagents in rural Normandy. I know I can look on line, but I like a browse through the RT to see what is on in more detail. No doubt it will be late for next week as well as it is a bank holiday today.
I managed to spot the Great British Bake-Off, Wallander and Who Do You Think You Are, though.

I really enjoyed it! Can anyone enlighten me, though - is the actor who played the taxi driver related to the actor in Coronation Street who also plays a taxi driver? (My senior moments are coming thick and fast today, sorry!)

I watched it with my daughter, she gave up after about 15 minutes, found it boring, I watched it all, but was a bit disappointed in it, things moved very slowly, and too much backward and forwarding.

The last 15 mins. seemed a bit rushed , as the writers suddenly thought , hey we have got to wind this up . But I liked it

Trishs not really , u wouldn"t be giving anything away .

Well I guess the wife was the main victim as she had no choice at all. Reminds me of the lyrics of a song by one of my favourite bands, although the boot was on the other foot , so to speak
