Maxine Peake is brilliant in everything she's in - whether it be comedy or drama. I really felt for her character last night, it chilled me to the bone in parts - she conveyed fear and degredation perfectly.
I was watching with my youngest daughter (twenty and six months pregnant) and she asked for an explanation about the vaseline - which I provided, we have a 'You ask and I'll answer truthfully' relationship -= I'm just glad it wasn't my in-laws!
I don't think KY jelly would have conveyed the...errr...gist of it really MiM.
It would have done the same job - but I think the vaseline has certain...errr... conotations?!!
I thought it was very good and well acted. I just know the policeman and his girlfriend are going to be a pain and you just know she is gong to get a rough ride (as if she hasn't already had one, so to speak, vaseline and all that). Can't wait for the next episodes, will he die or won't he?
