Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Looking forward to this tomorrow night. By all accounts a must watch. Suranne Jones and Martin Compston star in this new BBC drama. The show has been made by World Productions, who were also behind Bodyguard and Line of Duty. BBC 1 at 9.00 p.m.
Let’s hope it lives up to its expectations.

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Should be good…. Ignoring the fact there are some good actors in it, it’s based on a submarine, and as you all know there has never been any film or tv programme with a submarine in it that wasn’t worth watching.

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
It’s coming to that time of year when the dramas start to hit the tv
Another one to look out for is Help which stars the brilliant Stephen Graham & Jodie Comer

Stephen Graham has fast become a national treasure. Outstanding in his profession. I see him holding an Oscar aloft in the future.

Suranne Jones, Martin Compston, Rose Leslie, Gary Lewis, Daniel Portman plus others. It has quite a cast to it, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

As for the programme itself - fantastic so far.
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Now watching episode 2
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
First two were very good, although a bit far fetched.
I'm not sure why they need to get Karen off Coronation Street on the sub to investigate when young inspector Morse is already on board.

Line of Duty in a Submarine, without the characters...so far, owing to the disconnect between land and sea.

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
I agree, it’s obviously far fetched as all dramas are but some of it is ridiculous
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Like this biggest error, the local police wouldn't enter a military environment to investigate, they have military police for that.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 9:29 amI agree, it’s obviously far fetched as all dramas are but some of it is ridiculous
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Its good fun though ...
Its a piece of fiction ... why not just enjoy the story for what it is ...
I like it and couldn't give a monkeys about whether its true to life or not

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Watched first two. Utterly far fetched, it’s the opposite of tense, what a waste for the lead actors.
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Not entirely true.
The civilian police would absolutely investigate the death of a serviceman unless they were killed in action.
As the story revolves around a suspected drugs overdose which leads to a murder inquiry, it would be the civil police that would investigate.
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Only after the military police look at it first then where needed it's handed over the the civil police, but military police always firstBurnleyFC wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 3:24 pmNot entirely true.

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
Not watched this yet. On record. Does this investigation take place at sea? By definition a submarine is classified under the 'plausible deniability' banner when at sea as nobody is supposed to know exactly where it is.
Can't see civilian plod rocking up investigating a crime on a sub once it left dock. Well, definitely can't see it as they officially don't exist once they leave dock.
There are obvious exceptions as when touring with a carrier strike fleet it's clearly there but doubt they'd get the plod involved, for their own safety as much as anything.

Drugs taking in the armed forces - Military Police matter.
Drugs taking followed by death - Civil Police matter.
The writers have got this part correct, even though it is far fetched.
Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
In the 70s I worked for a couple of years for the Judge Advocate General. And I can assure you that we do not live in a military state and as such the Military Police have very limited authority with regard to what they can get involved with. Certainly anything as serious as murder would be beyond their remit.
Look at it this way; all those soldiers in their shiny boots and lovely red tunics marching around Horseguards Parade, not one of those rifles slung over their shoulders are loaded. Not allowed. The Police have the loaded weapons.

Yes that is 1005 correct, I only discovered that fact myself a couple of weeks ago, although I've no doubt there will be armed personnel in the vicinity of such a high profile building, whether in uniform or not.Corky wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 11:32 amIn the 70s I worked for a couple of years for the Judge Advocate General.

I served on Valiant class SSNs for ten years , while the outside shots of this vanguard class SSBN were good , the insides of the boat were nothing at all like what it is really like , I am only 5’6” and struggled not to knock myself out on the pipework , but ignoring that it was quite a good bit of fiction , Crimson tide was a bit the same on the inside , but good film.

I was going to comment on the internals having been involved with the build of Astute boats and early work with the Dreadnaught. I’ve also been on Trafalgar and Vanguard subs
Probably best not to as I’ll end up with the MOD knocking at my door

Re: Vigil- BBC-Sunday night
I couldn't make up my mind but I thought the external shots of Vigil were actually one of the Astute class. Also found it quite funny that when they were having the funeral service in the torpedo room they had changed the name of the torpedoes from Spearfish to Spear....something else. Weird.
