The Same Actors In Apple Tree Yard And Unforgotten

[SurreyGuy]

I'm really enjoying Apple Tree Yard on BBC1 and Unforgotten on BBC1.

However, it's slightly frustrating that two actors appear in both programmes - Adeel Akhtar (Jaspreet the solicitor in Apple Tree Yard and Hassan Mahmoud in Unforgotten) and Mark Bonnar (in Gary Carmichael in Apple Tree Yard and Colin Osborne Unforgotten).

I occasionally have to remind myself of which programme I'm watching. Couldn't the programme makers/planners make sure that an actor only appears in one programme at a time? I appreciate this isn't possible regarding repeats, though.

I know what you mean!.....

I saw a trailer for one and wondered why the gay chap was now in a passionate clinch with a woman......☺

I know! How confusing is that? There's a few TV dramas I've been watching through the week and I get a bit confused with story lines sometimes. Very good acting/actors though.

[SurreyGuy]

Yes, I know I got a channel wrong - Unforgotten is on ITV.

[SurreyGuy]

I concur gness and Patsy33.

Not a problem for me as I've only watched Apple Tree Yard and I have to say I'm so glad I did. Each episode was better than the last, in my opinion. Great stuff. More please BBC.

I found it difficult last year with Nicola Walker in both Unforgotten and River at the same time.
I now record the entire series of any drama and watch one at a time, from start to finish before starting another.

yeah you mean like with Julianna Margolis in ER ( sister in cas ) and the good wife

you sort of expect her to say 'excuse me your honor'
and then get down on her hands and knees and deliver ( someone else's ) baby
slap its bottom and then say
now your honor as I was saying
there is another point I wish to make before I deliver the placenta

Anyone would think there is only a small pool of actors available at anyone time! Same thing happened last year with Oona Chaplin and Anton Lesser in everything, or Toby Jones who still seems to appear on the screen almost each week!
