Looks like you picked the wrong place to stay then. I was on the same tour, stayed in Palafrugell, lovely sandy beach. Mind you, my mate from the Ferry got stung by a Cardiff supporting jellyfish there

Haha did he :lol:

All good mate, pissìñg down in Tycoch now by the way, I bet your in your speedo 👍🌞

Weather's tailed off a bit this week, still sunny but only getting up to 26/27C in the day. Sea's nice and warm though. Actually ordered my firewood this week.
Mind you, expecting a shock when I come over for the Sunderland game in a couple of weeks. It'll be the first time I've worn trousers (and kecks) for six months, never mind a coat.

Hope the weather stays warm and the sea, by the time we get to Spain in November :D

Disagree, I thought it was a decent end to the 3 episodes in fairness, the aftermath was good I thought.
Glad you enjoyed. It was still shite mind.😂👍

Keeley Hawes was excellent in playing the part of Jo especially in the aftermath of the tragedy.
 
Keeley hawes usually picks her acting jobs well, not this time , a very average drama series
 
It was a Die Hard knock off with Hawes in the Willis role. Watchable claptrap.
 
Quite watchable but a bit underwhelming in the end.

And the determination of KH's character to be 'fair and proportionate' to the pseudo terrorists had me sceaming at the telly and laughing at the same time.

I've already commented on the 'police warning' she gave to the young lad instead of blowing him away as he was taking aim at her daughter in episode one.

At the start of episode three, she's waiting outside the door on the roof, rifle raised, with her daughter on the ground helpless next to her, when the same young lad bursts through the door, pistol in hand. Instead of using the element of surprise to give him both barrels in the mush, she again decides to have a Mexican stand off chat with him about putting the gun down. Plu-ease! What's the point?

And then, when she's pursuing the inside man down some gully on the edge of town, again with rifle pointed, her mate Ben comes round the corner behind the criminal. She shouts at Ben to stay back and get out of the way, so of course he instead comes forward with puzzled look on the face (D'oh!). The crim turns towards Ben with knife in hand, at which point KH could have disabled him with a shot to the legs. Instead she does nothing, which results in Ben getting stabbed and dying. So bluddy infuriating, and obviously a script device to crank up the emotional drama of the 'when it was all over' scenes.

Oh well, let's hope the next effort is better.

Some miserable feckers on here Peg's best leave them grizzle and gripe amongst themselves, the first episode was okish, 2nd one pisspoor and I thought the aftermath after it was over was decent myself.
I don't watch a lot of these things as a rule, but I'd give this effort a 7/10.
