Anyone watch this and now considering giving it a miss now Brian has left the series ?

kittylester Thu 19-Sept-13 09:37:13

I've seen Tamzin Outhwaite named as the replacement lots of times.

Shame about her real life husband - seems like he's not as nice as he looks. sad

Tamsin Outhwaite is definitely the replacement. I`m still missing Brian and Jack.

We kept watching thinking we'd miss Brian but Nicholas Lindhurst is growing on us. He has a really sinister look sometimes too.

No! Tamzin Outhwaite is not old enough.

Sorry Feetle Did n' t see your post there.

Ana Wed 18-Sept-13 20:00:16

I think I heard a rumour - I hope it's not true. She's too young, for a start.

annodomini Wed 18-Sept-13 19:50:16

Do you know that feetle, or is it wishful thinking?

kittylester Wed 18-Sept-13 19:31:20

feetle just said - Tamzin Outhwaite. confused

here's the online Radio Times Margaret

Can't see anything about her replacement though.

MargaretX Wed 18-Sept-13 18:39:58

I liked it as well. Very nicely done, she's a good actress and I hope who takes her place gets some decent dialogue and a plot to get her teeth into. Then it will be OK. Who will take her place? I don't get the Radio Times.

I enjoyed last night's episode, but I can't abide Denis Waterman's terrible acting. Every time I hear the signature tune, I'm reminded of the sketches about him in Little Britain.....'wrote the theme toon, sang the theme toon.' grin

Charleygirl Wed 18-Sept-13 10:23:31

I quite enjoyed it. There was little else to watch in my opinion.

feetlebaum Wed 18-Sept-13 09:14:27

Aka "Depends who will replace her....."

Tamzin Outhwaite.

MrsM Wed 18-Sept-13 09:02:03

I agree about the music

Other than that I enjoyed the episode - both the serial killer story and the 'in-house' stuff

Maniac Wed 18-Sept-13 08:41:50

I was very irritated last night by the unnecessary and inappropriate background music.-even in the sessions in the interview room.!!

Grannyeggs Wed 18-Sept-13 08:15:28

I haven't watched it yet, but am sad she has gone ,was it with the Frenchman who was in it before,? I'm not sure it's going to have the same appeal with a brand new cast, sometimes these series should just be allowed to die in conjunction with the departure of th originals. I'll give it a go though.

feetlebaum Wed 18-Sept-13 08:15:23

Giving up on watching a series because one or another actor has left the cast seems illogical to me... I thought the ending with Sandra not looking back was quite moving... and I was glad the writers didn't essay some dramatic tragedic finish.

Nice to see Sandra getting some at last... (!)

Pining for Bolam or Armstrong is pointless - they have gone on to do other things, that's all.

kittylester Wed 18-Sept-13 08:02:39

I enjoyed the storyline but thought Amanda Redman's character would have had a more 'dramatic' leaving.

Brendawymms Wed 18-Sept-13 07:40:36

This weeks episode was good with a terrific story line. I believe that Amanda has had some 'work' done on her face, well she looks different. Will see how the new team jell and then decide on future watching.

LizG Wed 18-Sept-13 07:21:33

I quite enjoyed the storyline but was sorry to see her go without 'a bit of a do'. I like the new characters, it beefs it up a bit but would like to see how they get all the information that they spout.

kittylester Wed 18-Sept-13 07:15:18

I thought 'the leaving' was a bit if a damp squib last night - mind you I did go to sleep for 20 minutes in the middle - or maybe that proves my point. grin

Aka Tue 17-Sept-13 23:44:30

Has she? I thought she'd just lost weight.

harrigran Tue 17-Sept-13 23:05:41

Amanda Redman has very obviously had a face lift since the last series. Storylines are poor but we still watch.

Ana Tue 17-Sept-13 22:51:03

I really liked her character - don't think I'll ever watch with the same interest again.

Aka Tue 17-Sept-13 22:48:12

Depends who will replace her.....

Deedaa Tue 17-Sept-13 22:29:35

Said he would be the reason she left grin
