Dr Foster

[bednobs]

what just happened? That phone she found - whose photo was on it?

[hellywelly4]

I couldn't watch it after the first half an hour or so. I found it so unsettling.

[-SharonA-]

The daughter of the lady who owns the restaurant.

[chrissa1]

Ooh. That was good. She found pictures of all her female friends as well.

Hell hath no fury!!!!

That was the first of five!

[Mamyalynne]

Nail-biting stuff, isn't Suranne good?

[chrissa1]

Brilliant, Mamya.

[DaisyNonna]

Disappointing

[chrissa1]

What, Daisy? How, disappointing?

[hc4361]

The acting was superb, I could feel her stress and devastation.

[Mamyalynne]

She seethes so well,always thought she was a brilliant actress.

[DaisyNonna]

Found her character unbelievable

[-SharonA-]

There are women like that you know, paranoid.

[fiction-factory]

Gripping stuff and have been trying to work out what the twist could be (is he the father of the girl, is his project a genuine project involving helping one or more of these families, etc).
But I felt it very unlikely that a doctor would confide in a patient that her husband was having an affair and that she'd then ask the patient to follow her husband

[murraymints]

great..can't wait for next episode

[Ringlet]

I thought it was brilliant, too. I have liked Suranne Jones ever since she was in Coronation Street as Steve McDonald's wife. The plot is brilliant, and I still haven't worked out if her fears are justified or if she is pathologically paranoid. Gripping stuff. The only problem is the usual one, of sound. Some of the speech is difficult to hear because the music is too loud . Thank goodness for subtitles.

[Tizzi24]

I really enjoyed it and Suranne Jones is fantastic.

[trt]

Help please.
I missed the last few minutes as there was a clash of recording.
I got to the part where she had got home, and the black girl was there in her car & started to talk to her.

Fiction,
## But I felt it very unlikely that a doctor would confide in a patient that her husband was having an affair and that she'd then ask the patient to follow her husband ##

Thats the only part I thought was a bit unlikely.

[brainiac]

Suranne Jones just didn't convince as a GP. No GP would look at a mobile phone message mid-consultation, and certainly wouldn't suddenly confide personal information about her marriage to a patient whom she'd previously found difficult and aggressive - and then accept a cigarette from her! And as for scaring off the abusive partner of the black girl with a lit cigarette - not believable, I'm afraid.

[chrissa1]

This is fiction, brainiac. Why does everything have to be picked over? It's a made up story.

[hc4361]

Gps are human too, and have their foibles and weaknesses. I can see lots of instances where a GP might look at the phone message (they have private lives with the same urgent, desperate problems that we all face at some point) and it is clearly part of the story line that the doctor and patient have bonded.

It would be a very dull drama if there were no drama because the plot stuck to mediocre reality. Harold Shipman's murders would not be believable in a tv fictional drama.

[auntie-bertie]

Really enjoyed it - and I want her kitchen....!
