The Holiday.

Thanks, I like her.
It is filmed in Malta I believe.

Really like JH. Think she's a great actress. Her star shone it's brightest in Strictly, though.

I’m looking forward to this. Like Jill Halfpenny. Finished No Return last night so this will take its place.

I've always liked Jill Halfpenny everything she does is good,at the moment I am watching her in Classic Coronation St. playing Martin Platts mistress she was good then and has only improved over the years.

On dear I've given up on this. JH drooping about the place is not for me

Jill H. seems to play the same sort of role, a wife and mum full of angst. Her husband seems to be a bit of a stud, but looks a scruffy so and so.

Tonight’s episode seemed to be a good advert not to go on holiday with old friends from uni.

Have watched the first episode and enjoyed it. Jill Halfpenny gave another weak performance. I could not understand some of her mumbling.

I also enjoyed it. I was beginning to think I need my hearing tested because a lot of the actors mumble and/or speak too quickly.

Subtitles again!

At least it wasn't filmed in the dark it was bright and sunny ?. We'll see how it pans out.

The house looked lovely. I could live there but without the cast. Perhaps just a chef and a hunky gardener, oh yes, I have one of those.

Don't forget a cleaner ? or two

And a butler to pour the drinks.

The mumbling wasn't a problem for me, but reading the texts at speed was!
The daughter has got to be the dark horse in the story?

I’d like Ann Cleeves to write a prequel to Vera - her upbringing with Hector and how she decided to join the Police and her early days with The Force and cast Jill Halfpenny as Vera. At least the accent would be right!

If you think your hearing needs testing, watch an old film, preferably black and white, and you will probably be able to hear every word. If you can't, then your hearing may need testing.

I kept thinking that her husband needed a shave. I couldn't seem to concentrate on it, but I will watch it again tonight as I like Jill Halfpenny.

My first thoughts were how scruffy everyone looks. The women have hair that looks like it's never been brushed, ragged and unkempt, and in such poor condition (esp the blonde mistress). Her husband looks like a tramp who needs a good wash.

I had been having trouble with TV sound and background noise in restaurants etc. so got a digital hearing aid from Boots. It has a little device which links straight to the TV and wow what a difference! I can hear every word crystal clear.

I’ve recently posted a thread on here re Bluetooth headphones, they really help when the sound is bad, this seems to be a problem these days.

Am watching but not sure why. Maybe i need a holiday but not like this one. Friends like these, no one needs, dire.

They're all very highly strung!
I liked the look of the lunch by the pool though.

The amount of alcohol each person drinks amazes me that each is not suffering from cirrhosis of the liver.

I did not recognise Jill H last night. I agree re the hairstyles- washing their hair in a shower would not go amiss.

Their hair is bound to look terrible when they have it loose and hanging around when they are applying suncream! That is definitely the time when I would tie it back or put it up. They seem to do it only when going out in the evening.

I’ve read the book.

The book is better.

Was Sheridan Smith not available?

I’ve got the book.
But like all books these days, it’s gone unread
