The Secret

Anyone watching it

[elliemay1]

I watched it. The actress who played Hazel Stewart was uncannily like her!

[elliemay1]

Thought it was spoiled by the fact that James Nesbitt doesn't remotely resemble Colin Howell, yet those who played the other main characters did.

[elliemay1]

^ did resemble the people they were portraying.

[naomi24]

elliemay, it didn't spoil it for me. I don't know the story, I have no intention of googling it, and I really hope that no one who does know the story will spoil the excellent programme for me and others equally ignorant.

[elliemay1]

Point taken, Naomi, won't comment further. Anyone living in N.I knows the whole story.

Thanks elliemay - and psybbo.

A guy was on later last night in a "talk about" programme and whilst I too know the story he literally spoke in great detail about it so anybody watching would know the actual detail. No I watched it for about 10 mins and it truly bored me.

James Nesbitt I thought was too OTT

Mrs Bob is watching it along with The Durrells, Home Fires, Eastenders A word, Episodes of Hinterland she missed ( don't know how that happened ) Thicker than Water on schedual

The first episode was a bit hurried and sparse I thought.
Guitar playing holy roller and swimming instructor and attractive blonde holy roller get jiggy out of nowhere.
Still, I'll persevere, it'll maybe erase the memory of Jamesy bhoy in Stan Lee's Lucky Man.

Surely it doesn't really matter whether or not the actors/actresses playing lead roles in true stories resemble the people they portray? Only, i suppose, if they were famous world-wide. I thought that, as an opening episode, it carried enough intrigue to watch the second, and i do know the story.
