Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
He seemed too obvious. Also.. The Bay is on soon.
Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
We've recorded it, hopefully watch it later this week. I know it's on for three consecutive nights so don't give anything away please. Having said that the majority of the storyline was splattered all over one of the Sunday mags.
Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
We missed The Bay somehow the first time it was on. Watched it now. Surprisingly good. On a week on Wednesday I believe.
Another with the thread title on record.

Look at what you could have killed.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I always like Keith Allen and thought he was decent in this last night. However overall it just seemed to be another bog-standard formulaic police procedural of the type ITV churn out in their sleep. With the match on tonight I'm not sure I'll be interested enough to watch the rest on catch-up.
Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
its done in the same vane they did the Salisbury Novichok one ... but riveting viewing nonetheless

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
ITV is the pits. Their 'dramas' are more like soap operas with crap, unbelievable acting. I prefer to give it a couple of weeks until shows like this have got a decent number of reviews - then inevitably take it off my list. Very rarely they pull a rabbit out of the hat and produce something worth watching.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
Very poor ,a typical ITV atempt at using nice scenery to disguise a week plot acted, Allen apart ,by a second rate bunch
Leave the drama to the BBC or Sky
I even watched Wet Spam v Stockport that's how bad it was

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I think although he wasnt charged you can add to his list of crimes the murder of his wife strange how she died shortly after he got out of prison...pure evil that from a man in denial,Keith Allen was brilliant as the main character,but the Bullseye sequences where hilarious.
Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
Enjoyed it (as much as you can that sort of thing)
His wife was ill as was shown by the newspaper cutting planning her funeral when Adrian the son visited ... so wasn't murdered ... but Keith Allen was excellent as Cooper.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
Yeah I liked Des too, but it was entirely carried by David Tennant.
Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I’m not generally a fan of Tennant but he really was good in Des.
As the article says, crime pulls the audiences. It’s no wonder we are seeing so much of it with all of the success Netflix has had with their true crime series. ITV and others are jumping on the back of it and making dramas out of them.
Crime seems to be the new cooking programme!!

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
If crime programmes are your thing there is a superb series on Crime and Investigation channel called Homicide Hunter. Theres about 8 or 9 seasons of it and the detective narrates all his cases. He is the type of guy who could tell you stories all day long and never get bored. Give it a go. He has a new show coming to Discovery + too soon.DCWat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:51 amI’m not generally a fan of Tennant but he really was good in Des.

The thing that spoils such dramas is we already know the outcome, Tennant and Allen were brilliant.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I'll give that a go too thanks. I like these kind of programs but there's so many of them that it's difficult to separate the decent ones from the dross.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:57 amIf crime programmes are your thing there is a superb series on Crime and Investigation channel called Homicide Hunter.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
Yeah its a true crime series. He is called Jo Kenda and he is a former colorado Homicide detective who has solved over 400 murders in his career with a 92% success rate. He narrates each case (that can be spoken on TV) and they use real policeman along with an actor who plays him in the very well done reconstructions. That along with his brilliant whit and dry sense of humour make it the best ive seen in this genre for me. Me and the Mrs have seen nearly every one and are hooked. Deffo reccomended. I am about to buy his book 'I will find you'.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
Only available from Season 5 on Sky currently. I don't suppose it matters if I start from there and watch the older ones as and when they come available?gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:48 amYeah its a true crime series.

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I used to watch that all the time, but not seen it in a while. Perhaps there's not been a new series since, or my Sky box decided not to keep the series link.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:57 amIf crime programmes are your thing there is a superb series on Crime and Investigation channel called Homicide Hunter.

One of the best real crime programmes I've seen is Murder on CCTV - about how they piece together often several bits of CCTV to crack the case, which otherwise, they'd have had no chance with. https://www.discoveryplus.co.uk/show/murder-on-cctv

Re: The Pembrokeshire Murders
I've seen a documentary on him in the past as remember them showing the Bullseye footage, but not sure if it was as in depth as the one shown tonight.
