Turned it off, it's pointless crep.
As a matter of interest.... A story of sexual infidelity and sexual violence, written by a woman, screenplay by a woman, 2 executive producers both women.
This is what I don't like about the BBC, the discrimination.

It is well-made,  Good direction...... good acting..... Quality stuff .........maybe too grown-up for you studyform

That must be it.
Mrs Study kept moaning about my unnecessary and lewd comments as well, so it's back to snooker, golf and football.....

and she's STILL moaning.

Is he doing her up the Samantha Janus?

Invest in a second TV..... SF

The novel was excellent

Do you read much Facts..... I find reading novels takes too long

There is always something better I could be doing: More interesting

Yep. Read a lot. Can't beat a good book.

What like posting drivel on here?

You are the drivel Meister..... As you know it

And you know it

You're off your nut,stop tapping away and ask Ting-Tong to give you a noshing.

I don't tap away , That is you who is tapping away, I am dictating onto Betfair, it is much easier, New technology and all that,
You're the one in the Stone Age: .....chump !

You another one of these right-wing ****s ?

Brainwashed idiots

You'd be dangerous if you could tie your shoelaces together

It was absolutely dire.

Trying for the '50 Shades of Grey' market, but ignoring stuff like plot and storyline, in favour of a series of implausible back alley bunk ups (fnarr!).

We have two wealthy individuals incapable of getting a hotel room to conduct their affair in - so the viewer never even gets to see anything remotely racy, alienating even the wristers it was supposed to attract!

couldn't agree more.

"so the viewer never even gets to see anything remotely racy"

And thank the Lord for that. She's a munter.

The book was very good.

Apropos of nothing, has anyone been watching Unforgotten? Very decent imo.

about as realistic as mememe going and shopping in Tesco.

Drivel

Yes, Unforgotten is excellent.

Agreed.

The book is far far superior to 50 shades of Rubbish.
Of course the couple could afford hotel rooms, but you seem to be missing the point !

Enjoyed it....thought Emily Watson was excellent and at 50yrs of age very attractive.Anyone else think she had a passing resemblance to the late Lee Remick?

I was watching while cooking so may have missed some of the nuances, looks like we're being led to believe that the guy is connected to the security services

Looks more like Alice Plunkett.

Humour me

The point, in your opinion is....?

It was good but not brilliant. I couldn’t bring myself to believe she would act as she did and the relationship was unconvincing.

Probably watch the next part but Wife has read the book and now told me the whole story, won't put in any spoiler. But from the first part last night it was hard to believe a high achiever like Yvonne could be so irritatingly dense, and the bloke she is having an affair with seems distant and odd. Interesting story what happens next, some unexpected twists....

Roger...the point that the moron Facts is adhering to is that of the "civil servant" achieved his sexual "kicks" by having his rumpy pumpy in public....hotel sex wasn't his bag.

You sir .......are the moron

No mate..you are

Try googling yourself and I think you'll find that you are the moron

???

rogerthebutler

He likes sex in public places, where there's a risk they could be caught. Makes it more erotic( for them both)

Ah I see.

And there was I thinking it was consensual, mutually fulfilling sex between two grown adults, where all the time it's something done 'to' her for his pleasure which she goes along with.

......as well as a handy plot device to prevent her getting her t1ts out.

Tbf, she more than ' just goes along with it '
He's not raping her !!!

.....as well as a handy plot device to prevent her getting her t1ts out.....'

And you should be more cerebral than this imo.

It was about as erotic as spending a night with a tattooed metal stud wearing treble chinned munter.

...and they're never discovered of course, in the middle of the busiest city in the world.

Bigger suspension of disbelief than Phil Mitchell and Maz Branning as sex symbols!

Who in turn looks a bit like she's being caught mid shuffle.

But I LIKE looking at t1ts - hence my 14 year presence on chit-chat.

I watched the afore mentioned and thought their choices of locations lacked ambiance, atmospherre, warmth and romance.

A large cupboard; 2 Gents and various chilly alleyways and doorways. No wonder the 'action' lasted 60 seconds at most.

nobody has mentioned he"s a 10 second wonder, I must be the only stud on here

so that's what upstanding means.

BTW injera, Mrs mememe has often commented on my prowess in the broom cupboard.
Very happy with the shelves I put up.

...and she just clearly be one massive G-spot if she goes off for a two-pump chump like him

Watching this now. The actor who plays the husband is also in Unforgotten, which I have just been watching.
I could become very confused here .

I barely remember the book, I know it was good. Oh hang on she's getting up in the middle of the night and typing on her computer what happened in the cupboard with Mr X. It's coming back to me a little.

I agree that Emily Watson looks very much like Alice Plunket

This is all a bit sordid.

Good though.

Two pumps? That tantric b@stard.

20 min warning

Will record it and watch it tomorrow

Got to get up early?

Location in cafe  near 21:25  : Upper  fleet bakery    619 Upper Woburn Pl

Excellent episode.

Good morning, Leopard. No I didn't have to get up early today. I will watch Aplle Tree Yard after lunch

Haven't just got up, btw. I was up at 8.45

Was he taking her up the back alley again?

No

Still as realistic as me going shopping in Tesco.

Mrs mememe's devastated, click and collect for her.

MD .... The first 30 minutes seemed very slow.... Obviously she should have reported the rape but then that would have cut out any further stalking by the rapist leading to less dramatic tension.

It is very good. I can't remember what happens. I only read the book a couple of years ago, if that

I can barely remember what happened yesterday

My excuses I was half watching, dabbling about on the Internet and reading this forum

Excuse is

Leopard

Oh, yeah.

I didn't have you for a "multitasker"
