not feeling this at ALL


I can't believe these great actors are in such a crappy programme. Every character is a stereotype and the plotlines cliched! Sarah Lancashire and Neil Pearson, especially, are too good for this!

I will agree the first episode was a bit vapid but the good music kept me in and now I love it. I was a Bryan Dick fan since Blackpool. The evil old-liners are a bit incredible and obsolete (I would have thought, until I was in a group tonight where I heard ladies having these same old v new music arguments) and it's rather surprising the senior pastor (assuming he's the vicar and Dick the curate) is virtually invisible, also rather incredible in his own church. But I'm enjoying it enormously.

Well said. You do have an opinion on this show after all. But to champion The Sun,I ask you? As someone said in an episode of 'Without a Trace', "It's not a newspaper, it's something you line your cat litter tray with." It tells moronic xenophobes and homophobes (Garry Bushell RIP) what to think via infantile headlines/lies. Example :- Moyles to lose his brekkie show.(Later exposed as a lie.) As a headline? Ye Gods. Brekkie? In a paper aimed at folk with any brain cells whatsoever. PS: I have no problem with sapphics, being gay myself - you may recall past 'Scun' attacks on gay people. And the Dame Hoare never responds to public opinion. She is not high profile like McKenzie and Yelland, who always answered their critics and maintained a profile. She is a faceless coward and a disgrace to journalism. She is not fit to shake the great Annette Badland by the hand. (You'll gather I have long admired Ms. B.)

Homophobic? Moi? I've already told you I'm gay so why level that at me? Sexist? An alleged woman who makes money by printing grainy shots of cheesy girls with their tits out. Don't forget this rag once violently attacked the Labour government of the 80s and 90s (though its adherents were so daft they thought it was a
Labour organ )and is now anxious to get into bed with them. (The name Dame Rebekah Hoare is thus ironic, since she plainly craves honours and apt, for obvious reasons,lost on the average 'reader' - I use the term loosely.)It also exploited feeble-minded people by running almost two weeks worth of front page headlines grotesquely delineating the slow and painful death of dim but not not wholly dislikeable Mrs Tweed.I'm still awaiting your reply to my view that the show should be commended for its showcasing the marvellous Kiruna.That was my main point in posting the thread. I still applaud the show for presenting Kiruna as a lovely, vital talent with no mention, and rightly so, of her lack of stature and believe more programmes should follow suit. I believe we are as one there. The biggest irony is,of course, and this my fault, not yours, that we have (mis)used an enjoyable programme called ALL THE SMALL THINGS to discuss a foul rag which only deals in small things rather than sensible topics of vital, national importance.Best wishes, Don M. PS: Bet the sibling revelations in the last episode surprised you too. So much for the idiot who initially slagges it off as awful - and appealing to 'Sun' and 'Mail' devotees. Yawn,yawn.

OOPs. For slagges, read slagged.
