    It looks like a good drama - I can watch this to learn more about the Joint Enterprise Law.

    If its anything like any of McGovern's other masterpieces then expect to learn only his blinkered view of the Law

    I'm quite looking forward to this too.

    Anyone watch the Honourable Woman the other night? That looks like watching too.

    The actor who played Finn in Waterloo Road is playing the guy who was in the back of the car, behind the driver. He's a really good actor, as is Nico (the driver),

    Also the chubby guy was in This is England. This reminds me of another drama called Criminal Justice.

    BIB: Definitely the first series, with the brilliant Ben Whishaw.

    It reminds me partly of that and also of one of the episodes of the last series of Jimmy McGovern's own Accused - the one where the two mothers of the boys on the fringe members of a gang fall out because one boy is the victim, the other the murderer.

    I haven't watched MMFTD, but I know Nico was in it.

    One of the two who went into the pizza shop, but didn't kill the guy, was also in Waterloo Road playing a character called Finn.

    £4,600 for a funeral? Does it really cost that much?

    whilst on the subject of Waterloo Road, the pizza shop worker was also in WR as Philip.

    good drama so far.

    It's tough viewing but asks a lot of questions. Like Accused, another one that asked something from the viewer.
