Anyone else watching Marcella? I think I know who it is.
Also, anyone watching Paul Merton's Secret Stations? Is it as good as Michael Portillo's series do you think?

Like it, but there seem to be a lot of people who pop up out of nowhere and I don't know who they are or why they are there.
Maybe not one to watch while ironing!
I've no idea what relevance that foreign man living with that guy who killed Andrew Barnes is to the story.
Don't think they needed to show a complete body where that little girl was concerned. Bound hands and feet was enough.
Otherwise it's compelling viewing.
Nowhere as good as Happy Valley though.
I've walked over that line in Wales, to get to the beach.
Undercover is good.
If you've got access to it, Penny Dreadful is wonderful. Season 3 has just started.
I started watching Marcella but am same as Mike, it was just not hitting the mark for me.
The Secret on ITV with James Nesbit is gripping.
When they reveal whodunit I'll be none the wiser.
What is wrong with me!
The plot had many holes. It's unfair to plug them with the promise of a second series.
I didn't feel the ending met my expectations. A series should be a series - complete.
Robert McKee's fourth commandment of scriptwriting:
Thou shalt not use false mystery or cheap surprise.
This is happening a lot in TV dramas.
I'm also enjoying Penny Dreadful. I'm surprised it's taken this long for Dracula to show up. Frankenstein's monster is one of my favourite characters.
Marcella is finished.
AND the most scariest part IMO was when she turned over in bed in the last episode, lol. Almost wet mesen then.
What'll I do now with me Munday evenings at 9pm.
I'm glad it's over. There were too many people in it for my liking, too many threads, too many beards, too much dark hair... I get easily confused.
I don't have a telly.
People known to many TV viewers follow the stories of their ancestors who were locked away as lunatics.
I didn't know the people last night, but next week we've got Christopher Biggins and that actress who is next door neighbour on the Liver Birds.
I just need to get my hands on a rib spreader and one of those electric shock things. Clear!
You can buy a boxset.
Carter's just left...
Season Two has been commissioned. I don't see why Sky Living would drop the programme from its schedules.
The other thing I'm watching is The Monkees TV series.
Yay to Season 2 of The Catch being commissioned. I wouldn't be so quick to think Sky Living would drop it. I was really into a programme called Drop Dead Diva that they had on Living when it was purely Living. They didn't continue with it for season 4-6. It was only made available on Netflix, which I didn't have at the time.
Jamaica Inn was fabulous but you need to have the subtitles up as it was mumbled.
saw them filming it on the beach at West Bay when on holiday there a week ago. Great excitement when seeing David Tennant! Couldn't get that close though so much security.
David Tennant!
Yum!
I enjoyed the BBC's adaptation of The Secret Agent; I thought it was brilliantly done. Definitely not a feel-good story, though!
What a load of tripe.
If you haven't seen it, don't bother.
(though of course alternative opinions are available - just not from me!)
