Just watching it on +1 now, so will abstain from reading the TEF for an hour.

Not been massively impressed with the first two episodes but tonight was incredible. As Mex said, harrowing, disturbing and compelling, and funny too.

Did anybody actually use the phrase "games console" to describe a commodore 64 in 1986? That jarred a bit with me, but I was only like 2 at the time.

that was fucking horrific
Exactly what i said (to myself, out loud like an old woman). But i guess its in keeping with how the film was and as we know this shit does happen. Much better than the last two episodes |

No they didn't. We actually thought they were computers back then, even if they were only used for playing games. Ah, the joys of waiting 20 minutes for Donkey Kong to load from an audio cassette |

Got them all recorded, not watched any of them yet. I think I'll be having a big catch-up fest at the weekend so I'll join in the general mood of harrowedness then.
It'd better be bloody harrowing after all this build up. If I don't end up shell shocked/on the verge of tears I'll not be chuffed

It might not be as good as the film but for me it's one of the best things I've seen on TV for a while.
I don't understand how Combo found Sean's house when it was mentioned a few minutes earlier that they'd moved.

People have said that they weren't too bothered about the first two episodes, and in a way I agree that the pacing is maybe slightly off, especially with two major events happening at the end of the penultimate episode tonight, although one of them has had a lot of build up and is obviously the main story line.
In general though I think that it's made the transition from film to telly quite well, there's been enough stuff going on during the re-introduction of the characters in episodes one or two to stop it being just build up. It still has the same feel as the film, from what I remember anyway.

Yeah, I was wondering that, it seemed like a deliberate set up more than a mistake though, I'm sure it will be bought up. |

I do agree that the first two episodes were a bit pedestrian and meandering but given the time elapsed since the film, it needed that to set things up properly. I like the fact it's not just a straight continuation of the film or even continues with the theme of the film, it gives it something else and the focus is split more between characters, the sub-plot with Meggy & Dogtanian is great.
