There was nothing wrong with Cumberbatch's acting. I felt the whole thing was very sad. The poor man had lost a child his behaviour was what was to be expected.

How about "Flash backs" which happen in many dramas.
Did you know that in some dramas you have to use your imaginations? As do the dramatists who wrote it.
You do not need to believe it is fact. Good drama can leave you guessing about endings.

How many of you watch the soaps? If some of you thought that was not a "Believable story?" how on earth can you manage to cope with the story lines of East Enders and the rest of the soaps.

His book The Children Act apparently is going to be shown sometime in the next few months. I've read that and unless they rewrite the book, it should at least make sense. I thought about the book a lot during the Charlie Gard case

Because you re constantly expecting to turn the corner kittye and it all fit into place I kept thinking it's going to get better
My daughter had told me to watch she texted me and said what a waste of an hour and a half

I kept thinking that it must be better than this and that I was missing something - anyway, it's cathartic to have a good moan about something non political ?

Oh well we enjoyed it! Can't understand why if people aren't enjoying a programme they continue watching for 90 minutes instead of changing channels?

They must have paid him a lot to risk his reputation like that ?

Believable story? Getting to the hospital just in time for the birth he didn't know about for one thing? Making ends meet by giving a few piano lessons whilst sitting in a £1m house? The caricature of a PM and HS? And Charles? I'm still reeling

What a blooming waste of an hour and a half, a load of old twaddle I m really surprised at Cumberbatch he's usually very good

Kittye Sun 24-Sept-17 22:46:44

Can't believe above comments !! Believable story and well acted. Surely can't be just me ?
