Anyroadup,
Lovely bit of regional dialectal linguistics there Mull. Love it! More Lancs than Nottingham? Yorkshire, even?
Anyroadup,
It covers very important ideas and events and it's good that such a mainstream programme is bringing them to a wider audience. But for me its about the people and the communities, both mining and police, and the effect that the politics of this era had on them, the area, their families and their relationships rather than the plot.
What happened in the night that nobody will talk about, who is the spy cop are entertaining but also the least interesting aspect of the show for me and really just a device with which to frame the exploration of these wider ideas. Which is fine because that is after all pretty much how drama works.

My Brother in Law is from Hucknall ('uknull') and I've never understood a word he's said to me in 50+ years...despite 'uknall' only being about 3 miles from Bestwood.
Don't believe it! I surveyed Hucknall shopping area a few times, as well as a couple of other Nottingham suburbs (Beeston, Long Eaton). Strange that I could probably still draw a map of these retail conurbations; no idea why as it must have been 35 to 40 years ago, and there're a lot of towns I've forgotten. Can even remember the Victoria Centre (?) and Nott'ham's layout. Mind you, I can't remember what I came upstairs for most of the time; funny thing, memory !
I was there for the wood searches, on o/t.
Possibly Keats is the sparrows BR said that they, Keats, ‘were trouble’ and the sparrows are definitely trouble plus the guy was a cop.
I think first prize for acting in this goes to the nutter train driver bloke. Maybe first prize for over-acting but it seems (now seemed) to work.
Consternation chez moi last evening when the BBC, as is their wont, swapped channels around for Andy's debut match. Why on Earth didn't they simply leave Wimbles on BBC2 where it was? Having Virgin, I wasn't sure which to record, as Virgin captions don't reflect changes in programming.
He was good in a film I enjoyed recently, called Ali & Ava.I think first prize for acting in this goes to the nutter train driver bloke. Maybe first prize for over-acting but it seems (now seemed) to work.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Firstly, he hoped that his wife was waiting for him in Araf and secondly believed that if his bad deeds exceeded the good, he would go to hell.I've been amazed at some of the issues the writer has addressed the bold Andy seemed to imply that he could go to heaven because even though he brutally murdered his daughter in law his good deeds outweighed the bad, ergo he would go to heaven and see his wife again.
That is one f u cked up way of looking at things, clearly the original murderer guy was unwell and probably insane but still, eff me.

Not sure you can blame the writer for Islamic canon.
Whether his good deeds outweigh the bad is a matter for Allah. Many a convicted murderer, with an otherwise unblemished record, claimed accident as a defence.Aye but he was making out that he had been good his entire life ergo he's be going to heaven cause the murder wasn't a murder according to him he said it was an accident, he nearly cut the girl's head of with a spade some accident.
