Heading Out

A sit com that has the tech bint from Spooks and the dork from Trollied. She's supposed to a bit of a uber vet and all things going well, but about to hit 40 and unable to tell her folks she's gay, so her friends get her a life style coach type thing.

Will give it a quick punt I guess and see.

Hi, I am a long time lurker but finally registered the other day.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with "british tv anywhere". The company has really reasonable rates but I don't know if they are trustworthy. I'm not at all tech-literate so I prefer something easy to use.

Thanks!

Watched the first 2 episodes of Mayday...so far it's disappointing. Very slow...every guy seems to be a suspect.

I watched the first one last night. I kept expecting it to go all Wicker Man.

We're on to the third now and finally getting into it. (But is she really dead?)

You won't find out until episode 4.

We only got through the first, but rather liked it. Kind of dark and not in your face.

It is very slow to get going though.

Didn't think it was to bad.

Starts off with the group of friends, then goes to the accident, then flash back to the night out before you're left with the smash up and bodies and families trying to find out who survived and went where...

Till that point it was all fairly sedate but then got a bit hectic and set up nicely for clips of following episodes as recriminations about the accident and people trying to get on with things etc.

Does have potential this.

It doesn't really get much faster in episode 2 and 3. The only reason you carry on watching is because a part of you wants to know who did it and who was it.

Some cracking scenery in this.

Basically one mum takes her kid to Mozambique for a 6 months break, but doesn't bother with malaria drugs as doesn't think it that important and kid dies.

The other is a 24 year old son going out there to teach who thinks because he's young and strong that it won't kill him so he gives his drugs to the young kids at the school.

The parents then go on a bit of a crusade to raise awareness about malaria afterwards.
Bob's quote was about Mary and Martha

I do not know if it caught me just at the right moment, but this was excellent. Very moving. The British son character was very likeable, too likeable to get rid off so soon.

The ending of the episode really is pretty good for a cliff hanger, especially that bit in the second episode where...
Spoiler:
that chap is found hanging and the locals think it's because of this, when it could be him being broke and unrelated...

I've now watched the first four episodes. Everyone in this town appears to be deeply disturbed and borderline psychotic, including the children.
