Bouquet of Barbed Wire ITV 1

Yes i vaugely remmember the old one which in its day was really shocking !...ill have to dig it out ..!..i found this one interesting if not updated and differant but with talented actors/.actresses like Eve. and Norris it should be well acted ! i found the Gavin Charactor very spooky and unsettling ! Worth sticking with !
 
I feel there will be a huge twist at the end ...who knows perhaps the REAL father of Prus baby is the father himself!.and i feel Gavin and Prus father have a deep secret in their past .as they instantly disliked each other ..and from the start were so uncomfortable with each other !.i wonder what that secret is ?
 
I've got it! I've figured out the horse thing. Cassandra warned the Trojans not to bring the horse into the city in exactly the same way that the Cassandra character in a Bouquet of Barbed Wire, er,
Actually I haven't thought it out very well.:D
 
Prue in the original series was a spoilt brat most of the time, in fact all the characters had their dubious points but you still sort of liked them

even Gavin, who Prue wound up so much he ended up beating her senseless

The characters this time round seem much more simplified, less shades of grey, but I suppose it's a shorter series and broader strokes are required.
 
ah yes the aphrodisiac of power, i could never understand or relate to it when it applied to people like john major and john preston :eek::eek: and all those other mps you just don't want to think of as doing it on the office desk!
 
I'm really enjoying it. I made sure I got the dinner cooked in time, the dishes washed, the kids sorted and some good biscuits in so I could relax in front of it! I'm not from the UK originally and the original would have been before my time, so I don't have much to compare it to. I find that the unworldly and coddled Pru could be taken advantage of by beastly Gavin.
