Turks and Caicos

It

Part two of a trilogy - the first part was shown last year but repeated last year and the last part will be shown next wee. Dare say you can see part 1 again via iPlayer ... all will become clear then!

repeated last week - gremlins/fat fingers (my apologies!)

Am I the only one who thought the acting was dire? We're used to Bill Nighy sounding half asleep but the others weren't much better.

I was totally lost watching it,now I understand the format I will find it on iplayer and start again

We don't get Iplayer here so will just give the next part a miss I think.

Oh that explains a lot, will try to find part 1. Mind you I still enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it too DebnCreme, I love it when I can actually understand what the actors are saying, and Bill Nighy has a lovely speaking voice I think. The pace of the thing was good as well, no rushing around with police sirens blaring and shouting. A good hours viewing for me

Can't find part 1 yet but will keep looking.

Just spent 25 minutes trying to download the Iplayer app, it says it is available in Belguim,,, only to get to the very end to be told not available in your area,,,,, aarrrggghhh. Why put up the Countries if it is not available.

Have recorded it, but didn't realise I was supposed to have seen something last year and have to wait for next year for the final part. May not bother to watch then

The first episode was on last week. This second episode wasn't rated highly in Radio times. I haven't watched my recording yet. The final episode I think is next week. It will be advertised either in RT or other TV publications.

I loved the first one, but didn't really see the point of the second, except for Bill Nighy who I love. Not sure we will watch next weeks one.

This must be something that the BBC hasn't trailed extensively for a change, considering all the trailers they've put on for Shetland.

Bill Nighy...sigh As for the plot/story/theme...I was no wiser when the credits came up than I was when it started. However, Bill certainly does have a way with words. Such a velvety voice. More sighs...

Warning - each part of the trilogy has a different title...I can't recall what the other two are but a google will help!

Did anyone else noticed the ghost of the evil Tony Blurgh being written as the grasping PM they referred to last night?

First part was called Page 9 and third part is Salting the Battlefield. I too could watch anything with BN in it but I thought this was great with some very funny lines.

We enjoyed it, it was a bit complicated it's true, but when so much tv is dumbed down, this was a refreshing change.

Yes I noticed the inference Mollie. I watched it on IPlayer, so cleverly written and superb actors, not sure when the final part is being shown, I believe there are three?

Next week, Caz... they've played them one a week without really saying they are connected, I missed the replaid first and wouldn't have noticed the third had I not caught the voice-over at the end of T&C (usually off to the kitchen at that point)

I thought the first part, Page 8 was very good, and Thursdays episode, Turks and Caicos, was equally as good. Anything as GrannyTwice said with Bill Nighy, in is worth watching. Reminded me a little of Alec Guinness in Tinker, Tailor. Looking forward to the last episode.

I did enjoy T&C. Partly because listening to Bill Nighy is always a joy, but also because I thought there was some excellent acting, great setting and - really unusually - there was absolutely NO on screen sex or violence. Also had a chuckle at the inclusion in the plot of the money-grubbing prime minister TB-a-like, mollie (I see in today's paper he, the real one, is worth an estimated £70 million. I mean, how???)

berdie funny you should say that about Tinker Tailor. After watching T&C, I actually dug out my DVD for Tinker Tailor. I think it is something to do with the quiet voice. I remember reading that Alec Guinness did it on purpose because it gave him space to use his voice with more subtlety.
