    Thought the film was magic but this has been pretty underwhelming thus far. Still i'll give it a chance.

    I'd agree with that



    Highlights thus far have been the two tidy birds!

    The film was nothing like this.

    There's been a couple of funny bits but the novelty of the northern English accent is waring off pretty quickly.

    I thought it set the scene nicely for the rest of the series. Looking forward to the next episode.

    That's exactly what my wife said when she saw him.

    Compared to some of the pish that's on the box at the moment it was a breath of fresh air.

    like the film, i thought the first episode captured the utter tedium and lack of opportunity on offer to those living in the confines of a housing estate in thatchers britain....travelling to a 23 quid wedding in a community centre on the back of a bus with a bunch of flowers stolen from a cemetary might seem a bit far fetched but it makes for half decent telly and is a reminder of what life was really like then for a large chunk of the population...

    The script is first rate. The acting is fantastic, so much portrayed by a look rather than spoon feeding us dialogue. Superb.

    The end of the programme was indeed powerful and disturbing in equal measure. I don't normally get too emotionally involved in TV dramas but I found myself shouting at the telly urging the girl to somehow get herself out of the situation before the inevitable happened.

    Very uncomfortable viewing but a first class drama.

    Well that was a cracker of an episode. Now that Combo is back, do you think that he will sort out Lol's Dad ? I can't wait for the last episode, should be brilliant.

    I don't think I was alone in turning the channel when the lass was raped, you knew it was coming. Extremely uncomfortable to watch i'd have thought.



    As for the rest of the episode, I fair enjoyed it.

    the film was great, the series started very poorly and some of the comedy elements were cringeworthy. It has however taken a serious turn and is all the better for it. Paddy Considine is a great actor and looking forward to Combo's return when he wakes up.

    A load of **** if you ask me. Some of the acting feels unbearably unnatural and awkward. The actor who plays Smell is so bad it's not even funny.
    Also, the multiple attempts at comedy throughout the series thus far have been cringeworthy at best.

    Believe it or not he was playing the rapist





    EDIT: He didn't play the rapist. He did have a part in the series, i'm not sure what is was. He may have even co-written it?
