With the 'laugh track' or without
Never really notice when watching it
It annoys the carp out of me but then I grew up watching it sans laughtrack.
Quick trivia question...................Who was the only character/actor who made it from the film into the series.
A bit of a guess but was it Radar?
Enjoying Moonflower Murders with the always-brilliant Lesley Manville. I read it back at Eastertime and haven't forgotten much of the storyline, but that doesn't spoil it. The preceding series Magpie Murders is also back on iPlayer and is worth watching first, if you haven't already.
Enjoyed Magpie (on a Marple, Sunday tea-time kind of level, not Le Carré level!). Can't get into this one at all.
The structure just isn't gelling with my poor brain.
Partly lack of intellect; I'm trying to follow 2 parallel murder stories with my feeble brain, with same actors playing (slightly) different characters.
And partly: I don't know what to think about the "fictional" plot line. It's a book-within-a-book; should I care about the characters? Or just what happens in the end? Should I be considering who - in the "real world" - is reading it?? I don't know what to do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds like an even stranger format! :PIn the book, the 'book-within-a-book' (like in Magpie Murders, which I read at Christmastime several years ago in the midst of an horrendous bout of flu) all comes in one chunk. This is all very well, but I did find myself finishing the Pünd story it and then having to readjust my brain to thinking 'Susan who?, Alan who?'

The Listeners? With Rebecca Hall? !
Anybody else?
Just amazing, but so tense and unsettling.
(Very like 'Kill You in that respect, but a completely different style of drama.)
