It's just me, I can't enjoy a twist or whatever if I've already heard it as a possibility from someone innocently pontificating.

Maybe you're all wrong and she'll turn out to be an evil alien wearing her skin like a suit. The stupidly long almost eye-covering hair could be to conceal the great rips in her scalp from which the human Gaynor's innards were removed.

Actually not a bad theory. She could have spent the last ten years being anally probed by aliens, hence the permanently dazed and vacant quality. Darren Pomroy anyone?

It's a weird show and I still don't understand the character and why she has no clothes.

I'm enjoying it more and more each episode. I like the fact that it is weird. I think they can get away with the inconsistencies because it is well written and brilliantly acted.

Maybe the strangeness is because the main character is so passive.

They'll be in major trouble, I think, if something is not revealed by the end of the series.

I fear so.

If not that, then the sort of trouble where the show gets quietly dropped.

I reckon if they made a few changes it could be really good. I think the constant girly squabbles is getting a bit tiresome, it would be more interesting if they focused on how pathetic it is that they are acting like kids.

I know it is a pretty big mistake to create a passive lead character and the show may have suffered as a result however I still think Gaynor is really interesting character and hopefully will be used in Emma Fryers next project.

Just a thought.

I think we'd all be better off if I was, chip.

Did anyone see the last epsiode? I still don't really get it.

We have an awful home improvement show with the same name and after seeing some clips of your show, I like ours better. And ours is ridiculously bad...

Missed the last one or two, but I thought last nights final episode was really great, I'll have to try and cath up with the ones I've missed.

SPOILER ALERT, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!

She was married! That was the big secret to rival who shot JR and who killed Laura Palmer? I feel vaguely cheated that I had to wait until literally the last scene of the sixth episode to find this out. And even then they didn't explain just what was so bad about her marriage. Was he boring? Did he beat her? Or was it just embarrassing being mildly hot and married to a shlubby bald bloke?

Yes, there was some nice writing and good performances, but ultimately this whole show would have worked better as a one off. All in a all a misfire.

Well, I don't think the fact she was married was supposed to be the surprise, exactly. Just that he'd actually popped up finally and something had actually bloody happened at last.

Very much a set up for another series, rather than a finale in itself, if you get what I mean.

That's how it seemed to me anyway.

This story is about a girl who goes off to that there fancy London with hopes of doing something amazing with her life, growing up in Coventry she's always felt she was destined for better things, 12 years on she comes back home with nothing but a handbag of bits and bobs.

Thats the premice, all her friends are doing alright in their world (Coventry).
It does happen, in my home town which I've moved away from, as soon as I pop back for a beer I'm greeted with "F**k me Dave,we thought you were dead!" Some people never leave there home town. Is it a bad thing? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but I personaly think its going to make good comedy.

I've really enjoyed this series Emma Fryer (Ideal) and Neal Edmond (Consultants) make a great writing team, I also like the way Gaynors friends get all the good lines, that is very rare from a writer, I've seen Emma perform live and she has most natural sense of comedy timing I've ever seen. I hope they get a second series, I think this show will grow and keep on evolving.
