But isn't it all going to be to do with ' cover up'? We'll have to see.

I think so but I just found that bit unbelievable. I loved the way he downed his pint in the pub. How can you make such a thing so meaningful?

So difficult for teetotal me to watch, but yes...heart wrenching.

You can see why they call it 'drowning your sorrows'.

The man does 'grief' very well. I liked the conversation before that bit; where you see him talking to everyone and you can just see the reality of his situation hitting home and he almost breaks.

I saw 'Chasing Cotards' the other day. Not a single word was spoken and it gets to you every time.

I'm not jealous of his skills...Not at all...

Enjoyed episode 2, it's getting good.
Andrew is fab.

It is getting rather juicy isn't it? Can't wait to see the conclusion.

Davina · December 13, 2012 11:04 pm

I'm going to catch up with episode 2 tomorrow while I wait in for a delivery that is promised between 8 a.m. And 6 p.m.

Wow! It is getting Interesting isn't it! Great work by Andrew and the rest of the cast. Cannot wait to watch the next episode. I just find the adverts an irritating distraction (although Tesco's use of Prince Charming by Adam Ant is great).

Yes I find myself smiling every time, despite myself.

Admiration for Andrew's ability to completely lose his Irish accent throughout this. He is a little genius!

Watched the final episode on catch-up this morning. I really enjoyed this drama. Andrew was lovely (yes I am fangirling I'm afraid) Martin Clunes was very good too.

And? No screenshots to deliver to us poor foreigners who couldn't watch??

besleybean · December 20, 2012 4:29 pm

None from me, either.
But I loved it too and adore Andrew!

Saw "The town" last weekend, he's really wonderful, good to see him in a normal role (with kissing scenes)

besleybean · February 3, 2014 5:11 pm

Tho not kissing the right sort of person!

Ivy · February 3, 2014 6:20 pm

Sorry I was just happy he didn't want to burn someones heart out for a change.

besleybean · February 3, 2014 9:42 pm

Tee Hee.

I watched it recently and it was good, not OMGbrilliantamazing but just good I liked Andrew's performance. At the beginning, I had this returning thought "what is Moriaty doing in this town?" but since the second episode I saw Mark, not Jim.
