Apple Tree Yard
Did anyone see this 4 part series on BBC1? One of the best dramas I've seen on TV for a while. Worth watching on iplayer IMO.
Intended as a 'one-off' series, rumour has it that the writer is going to pen a follow up. Hope it's as good! If you DID watch it, please don't spoil it for anyone who might decide to 'binge view' the series.

Re: Apple Tree Yard
Watched the first episode and about 10 minutes of the second before turning off. I found it implausible.
Re: Apple Tree Yard
Watched the conclusion last night, very good! You are correct, the writer is penning a sequel. There's an article in today's Telegraph about certain scenes.
Re: Apple Tree Yard
Really enjoyed it - look forward to another.

She did, yes. However saying something isn't the same as doing it. I want longer legs, but it ain't gonna happen!

I dont think anything has been given away, names aren't mentioned, nor the ending.

She was guilty of planning the murder, I agree the victim did deserve it but none the less she was as guilty as the perpetrator. She got away with it, good on her!
Now then, a great movie worth finding is "Hidden Figures", just a fantastic, a true film, do watch if you can.

Re: Apple Tree Yard
No, that would be silly, surely? I just thought, as this was a brand new drama, that some people might want to watch it. That being the case, best not reveal the 'sting in the tail'.Austin7 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:36 pmSo what are you saying?

Re: Apple Tree Yard
Just watched the final episode tonight. Don't worry my enjoyment wasn't ruined by the above spoilers.
Thought the first two episodes were very good, but then slightly down hill.
For me, in the final episode, when she was in bed with him she was not being serious when she said ....
What she said to him was said light hearted. I think the fact that he had told her that she was a GILF had gone to her head and made her light-headed; but not sure how that would have stood up in court as a defence

Re: Apple Tree Yard
I've got a tape of the film "Titanic" still to watch, please don't tell me the ending either.

Re: Apple Tree Yard
There was a fire in W bunker in No 10 stokehold on the starboard side of boiler room number 6 (probably caused by the use of lower grade coal due to the miner's strike at the time) which ignited when Titanic left Belfast.memory man wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2017 4:19 pmNew theory...........

However, it wasn't a raging inferno and was described as a 'smouldering fire'...
The chief engineer ordered a gang 'of between 8 and 10 men' under the supervision of Leading Firemen Frederick Barrett to empty the bunker and put out the fire. This was done by removing the coal from the bunker and hosing down the burning coals. The fire was extinguished on 13th April.
It does seem unlikely that a fire burning at '1,000 degrees' in a bunker containing 365 tons of coal would go unnoticed by the nautical surveyor at Southampton who issued a certificate of seaworthiness before she left for New York.
As for the 'nine metre black mark on the front of the ship’s hull', the bunkering (coaling) process was notoriously filthy and required all of the ships opening to be sealed to keep the coal dust out (which went everywhere!). It was in fact the reason why ships at the time were painted black to hide the stains from the coal on the hull...
