The Halcyon

Yes, I enjoyed it, I think there are certain undercurrents that will come to light as the programme progresses. It was certainly better than some of the awful television which has been shown over the holiday period.

Well, I enjoyed it very much, light entertainment, but we can't always be watching deep meaningful drama or documentaries can we?
Just perfect for having a cup of tea and the last of the Christmas chocs with.

Husband enjoyed it - I wasn't so sure but will watch next week. To be honest I'm not very good with dramas prefer real life stuff.

Have just watched it and thought it was very promising. There are certainly undercurrents that will unfold as time goes on! Oh yes, I'm looking forward to episode 2! As roses says we can't always be watching serious mind improving progs!!

J52 i remember the Duchess of Duke street and loved that series, along with Forsthye Saga and Upstairs Downstairs.

I wasn't sure about this to start with but ended up enjoying it. Sorry it has ended.

I wonder if they'll do another series?

It is only 1940 still and they have enough of the cast alive to go for another series.

I should have said characters alive!!

welshwife they were only acting (I think!)

I have enjoyed The Halcyon to a degree, but of course it couldnt match Poliakoff's 'Close to the enemy'.

Ooh err! I really enjoyed last night's final episode! I can't wait for the next series!

I really enjoyed it too, but weren't they lucky that the body was in the bombed bit?!
Also, I wish I could clean up a mess so quickly!

I must admit that I thought he managed to get the carpet clean somewhat fast!

I think the 'police' MIGHT have asked what was behind those closed double doors!! They MIGHT even have asked, demanded to have a look!!!! But, despite that and the curiously clean floor and convenient bomb (!) I loved it, and hope there'll be another series.

Have watched the whole series, and then fell asleep 10 minutes into last night's final. !!

I'll never hear 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' again without remembering Betsy and Sonny and feeling sad.

I'm a bit confused as to what happened to Sonny! Sorry for being thick!

Quite enjoyed the storylines and some of the characters but for me it was too 'clean' for a wartime bombing area e.g freshly tarmaced road outside the hotel, clean cars etc.

He died and so did Betsy - the singing was a sort of dream - or that's what I concluded - could have been equally confused though!

I enjoyed it, although some of it was again very much 'in the dark' and the o.h. kept complaining! I think there is a follow up which should be interesting.

I lost the plot at the end too - the screen was very dark (we have it that way t stop my migraines) and I was on my way out. I presume that both were dead, but it was hard to tell.

I enjoyed the series very much - pity I lost the plot at the end!

Perhaps I am thick, but I thought the explosion or fire, or whatever it was, was due to Mr Garland's dropped cigarette end. The camera focused on it, so I was waiting for something to happen as a result.

The sirens had gone and they had mentioned moving everyone into the shelter after the song. The bang was a bomb going off - it hit the hotel.

I knew Betsy had died and I thought he was also dead but then hubbie thought it was Sonny kneeling by her body. It was too dar to tell.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and there's certainly enough for a further series. . . .
