I meant to post a thread about this, 'ITV has something worth watching Shock.'
Well it's 3 programmes now Burp, Corrie and this.
Bradley Walsh proved a good few doubters wrong with the last series.
Rather a shame that it wasn't a show that originated here.
They still using adapted scripts from the US series?
Oh anyone know what the viewing figures were for the last series.
That was a really tough episode to watch, and very well done by the writers, cast etc as I have seen the L&O USA episode this is based on and it basically followed the same story. Very hard to watch, but I'm glad (that may be a strange way of putting it) that I did.
Ouch, I live paused it (thank heavens for Sky+) to miss out the adverts and I am glad with this episode that I did, the adverts would really have jarred after the emotions of the episode.
Possibly ITV3 will show it at the weekend or the start of next week? I hope they do as it is very difficult viewing, especially the first few minutes and at the end, but is worth watching
Thought it was a brilliant episode, with the acting top notch for a challenging episode. Having seen the ITV James Bulger documentary, I thought it was a brave story for them to do but they handled it extremely well.
Well done ITV!
I heard that the Bulger family wanted it stopped. I'm glad they went ahead and showed it because if every programme was stopped because of similarity nothing would get shown
What the poster is referring to is that there were 13 episodes filmed last year but ITV only showed the first 7. What we're about to see are the remaining 6 from that first run of filming - basically series 1 part 2.
As far as I know, they're filming as second run of 13 or so episodes, but how they are transmitted remains to be seen.
These six episodes - all adapted from original L&O eps - were aired as a 13 part 1st series and premiered in Canada and also Australia last year. This I find quite puzzling. Is ITV afraid that an audience won't be able to stick with a show for three months?
Also, this run of six episodes is being billed as series 2 but the DVD set coming out appears to have 640 minutes as the run time. That's about 13 episodes. Unless there are 7 episodes and then hours and hours of bonus features!
