For me, it was when Dadda just started hitting May with the belt, I really wasn't expecting something quite as violent and severe from him, although I knew this sort of thing happened a lot in them days.

Yeah, that was shocking for me too!
But the most shocking for me would have to be the thing with Domingo. I did not see that coming...
Yup. Domingo.
That was devastating.

Due to the day this show was aired on (Bad BBC), I missed that episode and ep 6 because I was out, my Mum had to fill me in, this is why I am so obsessed with getting this show online lol. It sounded like a brilliant plot twist.

Try to see that episode if you can .... it was brilliant, because all the way through you sensed something was not quite right (as did Iris at one point), even though Domingo seemed an ideal match ... the twist was astounding. Terrible. That episode, along with Billy's touching episode and the episode when Dadda fell in love, were my three favourites.

I can't say I was shocked about Domingo's, emm, injury. I actually figured it out when his mother was talking to May. I kept wondering when he was going to tell her that he was missing something.
Poor guy.
For me the most shocking was when photographer guy tried to rape May - I'd had him pegged for gay...

Domingo's reveal was up there, but I think for me, it was when Billy kissed Nazzer. Obviously, it's hardly shocking by today's standards but I kept thinking about what such a relationship would mean in the time and place he lived in.

The ones mentioned above are all pretty shocking -- but I would also have to rank Mrs. Brazendale's revelation that May's affair with her husband was all a set-up, that May was intended to get pregnant so that the Brazendales could adopt the child!
shareThe scene with the belt shocked me the most. It was the disparity between the Mr Moss who courted Miss Bird in such a gentle and intelligent way and the Mr Moss was behaved like a vile lout, that was so chilling.
