Poor little Geoffrey (Dominic) had his heart broken in today's episode.
Who'd have thought he'd go on to be a heart throb rock star in Lost and a Hobbit?

I watched every show first time around ten years ago and loved them but I have to admit I can't remember any of them; I'm loving them again but they are all virgin fresh.
Is this a comment on my powers of retention or on the transitory effect of TV?
I have to add that I'm totally surprised by 90% of Entertainment USA when I watch it again, so even my own shows have passed me by!

I'm so glad you saw it; they appear to be running two a day every day for the next three weeks (they originally made 4 series).
It was one of my guilty pleasures - well, not that guilty, I raved about it on my huge rated national radio shows!!

I've just watched the same episode - quite delightful.
Wonderful performances from the three pricipals, and Anne Reid as the mother of the schizophrenic.
As you say, beautifully scripted and directed - the sort of thing that the BBC used to do so well

An incredible story today about a schizophrenic who wanders off and dies.
A little tale about ordinary Northern people.
Quite beautifully told, acted, written, directed.
They don't make television like it anymore.
What a shame. Because Hetty Wainthropp warranted my licence fee back in 1995.
