New Bbc 1 Afternoon Drama

[barry1010]

Just to let people know as these afternoon dramas are so easily missed. There has been some excellent ones including Father Brown, The Coroner, Land Girls and WPC 56 (and a few that didn't float my boat).

I am looking forward to the new drama starting this Monday, Hope Street - a police detective series set in Northern Ireland. It's already available on iPlayer, I believe it has aired in Northern Ireland.

JennyJoan, did you watch this series?

[jennyjoan]

I hate to give you bad news Barry but after two episodes I couldn't watch it. It bored me but then again I don't like crime thingmajiggies.

By the way a lot of stuff takes place in a pub called Pier 33 (I think). They have changed the name for the drama. I stayed there some years ago. It is Donaghadee a little place a good few miles outside Belfast.

Beautiful and spotless town.

Oh well, I'll give it a go, I like the genre and no doubt the scenery will be worth looking at

I think that bar/restaurant was/is Pier 39
was last there (Ulster Bus Day Tour) in 2019.
Loved Donaghadee, have happy childhood memories from
the early 50's of time spent there.

poorclare - I knew it was Pier something - I used to take my last dog Harvey on a lot of walks around there. Everything is so clean.

I found the first 2 episodes of Hope Street a bit boring too but it does get better, I quite like it now

[jennyjoan]

I saw a tiny clip of it there last night was it, and there was a girl talking to a policeman when there was a bit of a ruction, the girl was Rachel Tucker who was one of the ones singing for Andrew Lloyd Webber for The Wizard of Oz. Not important - just a wee tit-bit.

Ellie - I'm not a detective person and it has gone on for quite a while.

But you know I just love all of the cast and the comedy Two Doors Down - it's the only time I laugh heartily - I love it. Also the script writers have to be commended. Brilliant all around at Two Doors Down

[barry1010]

JJ, I love Two Doors Down, too. Have you watched the Scottish sitcom Still Game?

Thanks, Ellie, I'm looking forward to it

[jennyjoan]

Barry funny you say that - when my sister heard I was enjoying two doors down - she mentioned that - must look out for that. where would that be bbciplayer?
