I've enjoyed most of this so far, but I am getting so bored of that scene where a woman prattles on about some mundane day to day stuff while having sex. This seems to have happened in so many shows that I've watched in the last year or so and I have never found it funny yet - I assume it was supposed to be funny?
But apart from that, enjoying it, especially the two families meeting at the end. My OH has given up on it though.
I wonder if this series is more popular with women in general than men?
Yes why waste you breathe talking when you're bouncing up & down on Philip Glenister ?
The first episode was good but the second was, I found to be just a filler of an episode really and I wasn't impressed with how they didn't reveal how Glenister escaped with his life after the ending of episode one.
Serves Glenister's character right for the way he got found out at the end though. The idiot should have told everyone the situation way before that! I liked the comedy moment of Bernard Hill coming off the treadmill in an elastic band way!
I wonder how Glenister and Liz White feel doing all these "close" scenes nearly 10 years after they appeared together in Life On Mars?
I am loving it. . I had to take a phone call so can somebody explain please how his girlfriend and her son knew he was in hospital.
Can't wait for next week.
I think Daniel left his home phone at his girl friend's house when he went back to the hospital to be with his Dad & then his Dad rung his mobile & the son answered it. Then later Daniel collapsed in the middle of ringing his gf on his playing away phone

I heard an interview where Phil G. said because he & Liz are good friends , & she's a brilliant actress & a really good laugh, they treated it all in a light hearted fashion . He said doing sex scenes is the most unromantic thing anyway with lots of crew standing about eating doughnuts !
He also said they were both able to detach themselves emotionally from the situation.
We waited all of episode 1 to see when would bonk the cleaner, then in a few minuites, hes not only bonked her, but shes preggers & a little while later shes dropped it.

There was a written 'thingy' come up on screen that said the time had moved on. Blink and you would have missed it.

I remember reading In a post LiFE on Mars promo which involved Liz .John Sim and Phil ...phil and Liz sang a rendition of the Neighbours theme together so they are obviously good mates !...i see Liz is doing a series called MY Zoo about Chester Zoo later this year where she is starring alongside Lee Ingleby who was of course Sam Tylers father in a couple of episodes of LOM !
Shame his double-life has been discovered. I enjoyed his struggle to keep the secret (and almost getting caught out). I hope next week is not just rows and reconciliations.
That was an excellent drama and you're right - she was brilliant in it. WIsh they would repeat it.
Agree i thought the chemistry between Paul Nichols and Liz in that series was excellent !

I've just caught up with the last two episodes and my husband and I both enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing how it ends now
I watched a few episodes of Demons (that's all I could handle) when it aired on BBC America. At the time, I had no idea who Phil Glennister was. When I heard him speak, my first thought was, "What part of America is this guy from?" Later, I learned he wasn't.
How many times are dramas going to this cliched "and they stuck it in property and lost the lot"? If a show features self-made business people, they always have this? In reality, they would have assets separate from the business and the only people who would get screwed over are the factory workers.

No I don't think you're the only one, by a long way

Can't wait for next week.

You didn't watch Demons then?

Edit: ok they caught me out. ;-)
First episode was June 1996 second was in 1997 and third was in the year 2000
Loved the comedy bits and still thought Steven Mackintosh was brilliant in it.
Right, kind of makes sense. I wasn't really watching it properly - did Bernard Hill's character like watching old football matches??
