Sorry sad

I once ruined a Paul Simon song for a friend by telling him that I had always heard a particular line as "she brushed her hair and farted".blush

I enjoyed it. I think the scene at the job centre is very true to life, it feels to me that the benefit system is too rigid and doesn't help people who don't tick the right boxes. Think Anna and Sean have good chemistry and look forward to next week.

Me too I m afraid Nina can't see him as anything else now

I enjoyed it too. H is a big fan of the Sharp series and has watched every episode at least twice and read all the books. He struggled with Seen Been as a totally different character. Besides it wasn't really H's thing
phoenix he will be Seen Been to me for ever more now grin

I enjoyed it. Dealing with real subjects but it has a lighter feel than other similar dramas.
Looks like the Seen Been character has an interesting back story.

I watched it in bed this morning and think I m going to enjoy it Anna Friel and Seen Been are both very good actors so think it has potential Just shows how easy it i to slip the net whilst others play the field so well

Watched it tonight, had the feeling it was episode 2?

The scenes in the Job Centre, there was quite a bit there that is true, the box ticking aspects with no allowance given for individual circumstances.

On a lighter note, Sean Bean, why isn't his name pronounced either Shawn Bawn, or Seen Been? confused

Thank you Gransnet. We also thought we had recorded Broken, and found David Attenborough. Tonight we tried iPlayer, but couldn't find it, so I consulted the oracle that is GN. Thank you, so we shall watch it later, maybe . smile

Yes they didn't show it because of events in Manchester.
I am looking forward to seeing Sean Bean too.

Bit of a mystery surrounding Broken. Like others, I was surprised to see that it had been replaced by David A, but even more surprised to see a review of it in the newspaper yesterday!

Oh ok thank you for the info i wondered why i couldnt find it on playback.

They didn't show it because of Manchester. It was replaced with David Attenborough, always calming in a time of crisis!
Broken will start next Tuesday. I am looking forward to a bit of Sean Bean.

I was going to watch it but didn't see it advertised I thought it was starting yesterday

Ilovecheese Wed 24-May-17 19:34:26

I don't think it was on was it? I also wanted to record it but it didn't happen

travelsafar Wed 24-May-17 19:21:47

Did anyone watch the new series called Broken last night? I was watching the Trial and am going to watch Broken on playback just wondered if it was any good.
