Yes, it's been great tv viewing. Excellent writing by Jimmy McGovern yet again.

Hi Ray!

I didn't watch this weeks but caught last week and actually enjoyed it. I don't tend to watch alot of programs like this. My husband watched this weeks and he said it was good but found it really uncomfortable watching him beat his wife and said he kept turning away when it was happening (not like him at all so it must have been very realistic!!)

I have watched every episode of this series and have found it compeling viewing,I did find this weeks hard going though.Sad to think that there must be many women(and men) out there who can identify with this scenario.

great series ,this weeks one was very upsetting and made me wonder how awfull it must be for any young children that have to go through this in real life its something that affects them for the rest of their lives.I have a friend whos husband used to beat her up so I know its a horrible thing to have to go through, thanfully she got away from him and is now safe and thankfully there was no children involved

This weeks one was so real, wingnut I did the same I had to look away, I wanted to put my hand in the screen and pull him through it, god I hated that bloke I know when something affects me cos I can't sit still,keep fidgeting etc, and as souldriver says,what a writer this man is,great viewing for a change.

I have enjoyed all the others very much. My favourite was the one about the school teach having a wee in the bushes. I did find this one very hard to watch, I did sit through it but, like you, felt very uncomfortable because this situation is being played out in real life more often than will ever come to light.

hello iluvcatz, that one was great viewing,my god how a blokes life can be ruined just having a pee, the thing is it could happen to anyone at any time,don't think I will ever pee in the bushes,just in case.

Hello raysparx, I did'nt think he would ever be found not guilty, fortunately the dad twigged in the end but the blokes life was almost ruined! just goes to show.
