    He got angry because he felt as if he has lost his voice and he was going through alot: made redundant recently, trip was also paid for by wife I presume, so he didnt have most of the things in control in these days, and getting a jacket potato was the only thing he thought that he had control over and her wife didnt pay attention to that, so he felt he had lost total control/he has no voice..... bloody genius series indeed.....

    I preferred Bean's 'revitalising shower gel' scenes, just riveting tv. And there's 4 hours of it to savour on iplayer. Sean Bean loading a dishwasher, Sean Bean opening a drawer, Sean Bean buying some cashews, Sean Bean complaining about dirty surfaces in lifts, Sean Bean varnishing a garden chair, Sean Bean clearing his throat, Sean Bean sighing, Sean Bean crying.
    James Bolam asking if wine exists in other countries other than his own, James Bolam offering guidance on how to cut a sandwich containing tomatoes, James Bolam ignoring his daughter, James Bolam's son ignoring James Bolam's daughter.
    Another character offering Nicola Walker a French Fancy several times, another character telling Sean Bean & Nicola Walker to 'stop saying bye'.
    Quality 'drama'.

    What do people want?

I think the storyline builds to more drama but these are two amazing actors are making it look like hard work trying to act being married. Storyline is something that I'm sure will improve. But wasn't overly impressed by this first episode. Title music ruins it.

      Just seen a Newspaper article ( Newspaper Chronicle) saying that many people are complaining about the theme tune and it made them switch off. I at least preserved and watched it all the way through. The theme tune obviously won't of done it any favours. It was too edgy and unsuitable for the programme. Both are great actors and great to see North East actor James Bolam (Likely Lads, New Tricks, Only when I laugh). I get there was tension for the reason of the storyline. There is more to the story but the theme tune will put people off watching some excellent actors tell a very deep and tragic story.

    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏..
    He is coming back soon🤗.......

      Remember that there is no god.
      Repomonkey 15:8
      You are just a series of atoms afforded the miraculously unlkely luxury of consciousness. 🙏
      Do no waste the fleeting moments of life mumbling wishes to a sky fairy because you are afaid of death. Death is glorious - the coalessence of atoms that was 'you' for a while is returned to the universe.
      'He' is not coming 'back' beause 'he' is was never here. But 'you' are and 'you' are wasting the astronomically unlikely sentience that is 'you'.

    This series was so AWFUL! Stilted unbelievable dialogue, plot (if you can call it that) moved slower than a glacier and theme music so horrible I had to turn the sound off every time. I endured to the last episode, thinking it had to get better, but it didn't.

      Yes, and two adults married a long time act this way. And they are portraying it for us to look and consider how we act in our lives

      I've never been married, so I wouldn't have a clue.

      You accidently stumbled over a point of the show without meaning to. Well done.
