Riptide.

I think Dan the neighbour will have a grisly end.

Alison wears a strange assortment of clothes. And why, when it’s warm enough to go surfing, does she wear a beanie type woolly hat?

The house is too empty and not at all homely for me. I wouldn't like it (which is probably just as well as I'm not going to get it )

Lovely house

Yes, bit far fetched …. And

Aaarrgh! I'm on episode 3 of Riptide and it's getting silly now (or should I say sillier ?)

Well that's my theory blown out of the water. 🌊
So the neighbour is the real baddy after all. Simples, though probably not.

Thank you tanith Just looked her up she was also in Shakespeare & Hathaway and that's where I now remember seeing her.

Joseanne no probs.

Watching it, but there are so many dark haired men I'm getting confused.

Oops sorry tanith, I was commenting in chronological order and hadn't got to your post!

The first one, very average...did it get better?

Yes, it's the sort of thing you need to stick with I think.

Yes, I thought it looked ok last night.

However, I closed my eyes in one of the ad breaks, saw the daughter find the watch in her dad’s bathroom. What excuse did he give for having it? I must have nodded off in that bit.

He said he found it on a towel on the beach. He drives to that beach because he likes to feel close to his ex family.

I think the body that was being dug up is that of the neighbour's wife who died. He keeps saying she died of cancer but when Alison probed and asked about it he didn't come up with much, other than ovarian. I think he murdered his wife but not Alison's husband.

toscalily that’s Jo Joyner I remember her as Tanya in Eastenders she was in Dr Who too at some point.

My husband popped his head round the door last night with a "still sticking with that load of rubbish are you?" well only partly because I drifted off, so I may have to go to 5 Catch Up. Yeah it's a load of drivel but I've started so I'll continue.

We watched the first two episodes back to back, first one was a bit slow, the 2nd had a few interesting moments but it's not exactly riveting. We will probably watch the last two, they are not so long when you record and can fast forward through all the adverts. I never watched neighbours so did not recognise anyone except the main character (blonde lady), what else has she been in?

Calendargirl he said he was walking on the beach and saw the watch on a surfers towel and took it.

It improved tonight so I’ll stick with it.

Watched it and may persevere but it didn’t hold interest here, guess it could get better as it goes along.

Anyone else watch this?

Started on Channel 5 last night, carries on the next 3 evenings.

Set in Australia, husband disappears when out surfing, presumed drowned, new wife, both have troubled past family history.

It reminds me of another Aussie four nighter, a while ago, ‘Lie With Me’, in fact I thought it was the same actress playing the main part, but it’s not.

Shall keep watching as not much else on, but think it will turn out the usual damp squib.

The reason that Riptide looks so similar to Lie with me is because they were both written by the same person, Jason Herbison

Sorry previous post was to the wrong person

I plan to start watching it this afternoon as there's nothing else.

I persevered with Treason on Netflix which was fairly good. I enjoyed the storyline although there were some gaping holes eg. the Head of MI6 discussing in the back of a taxi what he's going to do about a crisis.

The chap playing Alison’s ex husband is Jacob’s dad, Damon, brother to Harvey, in Corrie at the moment.

The neighbour Dan used to be the gay son in A Place To Call Home.

I remember Shane Ramsay, he hasn't aged very well.
Who were the others, I'm off to check?

It was ok till two ‘Neighbours’ actors appeared which I found confused me, I’ll watch another episode but might call it day after that.
