I've watched this episode a few times now and each time I am moved to tears. It is a story of young love, old love, eternal love and much more.

The story, writing and acting are all wonderful and the music, played at pivotal moments is just perfect.

Only those with the darkest of hearts won't find this episode moving. I'll lever forget it.

This has to be the best episode of MBB. It is one comic turn after another. Drunk Agnes is hilarious, one jolted head after another as she tries to hide mishap after mishap. Brendan O'Carroll's performance is just brilliant.

I have loved Sharon Horgan ever since I watched Pulling which is still one of my favourite comedy series.

This series has that similar cringe/laugh out loud element she manages to skilfully portray mainly through the characters on screen. The actors are all amazing especially Anna Maxwell Martin whose struggles to juggle motherhood and career are palpable. I laughed at every scene and cannot wait for series 3.

It must be said when it comes to making dramas the BBC very rarely fails. This was brilliant.

Maud is a mother and grandmother tackling life's daily challenges only in reality she is in the depths of dementia. The story centres around Maud trying to find her friend Elizabeth who has gone missing. Nobody seems to care apart from Maud and the frustration she feels is very evident. The current events are also triggering past memories of another missing person in Maud's life but I won't say anymore about that.

Glenda Jackson is absolutely amazing as Maud. My husband actually asked me if she has dementia in real life, her performance is so convincing.

Losing a parent to dementia is a fear every person must contemplate at some point and this drama echoes that fear with unabashed realism.

This is an emotional ride you won't forget in a hurry. A must see.

I've loved Pose from the first episode but this episode went to another level. I cried a lot, a testament to the story, characters and the talented people behind this wonderful show. It really touches you deep! 💜

I watched this documentary film after reading about it online. I knew it would be simi lar to Earthlings which I watched last year and it is, only more distressing if that's possible.

From the opening narration by Joaquin Phoenix to the rolling credits this film will have you thinking "what the hell are we doing?" The unabashed 2 hours of footage is gruelling and I had to stop watching it twice because I found it too unbearable. The film asks why don't people make the connection between their packaged meat on the shelf to how it got there, this film will grab you by the throat and show you that connection.

The film is shown in chapters with each chapter referring to a specific animal group such as pigs, chickens and cows. With each group of animals you see the ruthless way in which they are created, kept alive for the necessary time and then slaughtered. Not only do you endure the slaughter of these sentinel creatures but you witness them being mercilessly beat, mocked and laughed at by their executioners which will stay with you for a long time.

Whatever your views on eating meat this film will surely make you think hard about the life choices you make and what we can collectively do to be kinder to the animals we share this world with.

I didn't watch this when it first aired but watched it recently. I was expecting a drama based on deceipt reading the summary but it's so much more. The story you can read in the synopsis so won't go into detail about that. For me this was an excellent drama with a good script, excellent acting and intense medical sequences that left me on the edge of my seat. The intensity builds throughout the four parts and keeps you budding for the protagonist even though she is morally corrupt. A good watch and I hope to see more of the lead actress Jodie Whittaker in the future Enjoy.
