Anyone else watch this? Looks promising, maybe not up to the writer's classics Bodies and Cardiac Arrest, but I doubt there's much better on freeview just now.

Odd to see Neil Morrisey in there!

It wasn't too bad, i'll watch the next one. I couldn't get the actors' previous roles out of my head though...

Gina McKee - In the Loop
Lennie James - Snatch
Vicky McClure - This is England
Neil Morrisey - Bob the Builder

Aye, some of the dialogue and acting wasn't great, but still good TV IMO.

Must buy Cardiac arrest dvds...

Does neil Morrisey really have a limp these days? or was that some of that fancy acting shenanigans?

I've series linked it so hoping it's going to be good.

I was wondering how they were going to stretch it out about 5 mins before the end of the episode. Enjoyable but a bit cliched in places. My old man worked in what was, at the time, called Discipline and Complaints and I've told him to watch it and let me know how realistic it seems.

Something I'd thought I'd never say but Cardiac Arrest book is far better than the TV version, I did enjoy the TV version tough.

Also surprised at the ending! So who is the bad guy and who is the mole in the police?

I've enjoyed it but I worry how they can wrap it up convincingly in one more episode. Mind you, The Bridge was rivetting and its harrowing ending hardly seemed to be connected with what went before ๐Ÿ™‚ Also the main character seemes to keep getting smaller... (sorry about the heightism)

Interesting Drac, I'll look into getting the book first then.

I've no clue as to what's going on...fairly brutal end for Gina McKee...
