He recorded 2 of BC’s Sharpe Books as audio books.

Anyone who thinks this 'tiff' is just about a jacket potato knows absolutely NOTHING about marriage.

He got angry because he felt as if he has lost his voice and he was going through alot: made redundant recently, trip was also paid for by wife I presume, so he didnt have most of the things in control in these days, and getting a jacket potato was the only thing he thought that he had control over and her wife didnt pay attention to that, so he felt he had lost total control/he has no voice..... bloody genius series indeed.....

I like Sean. He makes me giggle because whatever he's appearing in, say 'Troy' in Ancient Greece or as a transvestite in a Jimmy McGovern play, he still has his Sheffield accent.

Excellent acting and writing, it’s often what’s not said in a marriage that counts. Life isn’t fast moving, this is honest and sometimes painful to watch, but I think many of us can associate with it. Thank you 🙏

What'd they say........

I preferred Bean's 'revitalising shower gel' scenes, just riveting tv. And there's 4 hours of it to savour on iplayer. Sean Bean loading a dishwasher, Sean Bean opening a drawer, Sean Bean buying some cashews, Sean Bean complaining about dirty surfaces in lifts, Sean Bean varnishing a garden chair, Sean Bean clearing his throat, Sean Bean sighing, Sean Bean crying. James Bolam asking if wine exists in other countries other than his own, James Bolam offering guidance on how to cut a sandwich containing tomatoes, James Bolam ignoring his daughter, James Bolam's son ignoring James Bolam's daughter. Another character offering Nicola Walker a French Fancy several times, another character telling Sean Bean & Nicola Walker to 'stop saying bye'. Quality 'drama'.

News??

I knew I recognized Eddark Stark/Boromir!

Have watched the first episode tonight. 3 episodes to go. This 1st episode is a bit bland. But the title music and song is annoying. No idea why it has been chosen for this program. I think the storyline builds to more drama but these are two amazing actors are making it look like hard work trying to act being married. Storyline is something that I'm sure will improve. But wasn't overly impressed by this first episode. Title music ruins it.

Just seen a Newspaper article ( Newspaper Chronicle) saying that many people are complaining about the theme tune and it made them switch off. I at least preserved and watched it all the way through. The theme tune obviously won't of done it any favours. It was too edgy and unsuitable for the programme. Both are great actors and great to see North East actor James Bolam (Likely Lads, New Tricks, Only when I laugh). I get there was tension for the reason of the storyline. There is more to the story but the theme tune will put people off watching some excellent actors tell a very deep and tragic story.

It's a new way to portray regular marriages and humanity. Yes, open your minds and see the different viewpoint

I don’t get it. Married for 27 years and she doesn’t know, he has flying anxiety? She goes on and on about that potatoe. Does she think, he will admit fear? This is not love and understanding! This is passive aggressive old hag mode. Feelings are contrived in this.

for a man that has “made it” to only have a women walk rather than admit her faults, I would say beware. 45 years old, 16 years of marriage, and my wife is leaving without trying to fix anything. You will experience it, all of you. Enjoy your eventual divorces. Don’t bother with marriage!!! It’s only for the wives advantage!
