Brilliant TV film - intense emotion

Wow, bang on the nail with the emotions, the looks, the body language, the doubt, the raw heat of lust to come hopefully and all this in the South of England on the 7.39 commute. Excellent BBC, those who poo pooh this have not lived, it's absolutely bang on with the human interplay and that's what this is all about. The 7.39 is just a vehicle, pardon me I am a railway enthusiast and I am saying no more geeky stuff, but do people really have to go on about how the vehicle is not crowded enough, no sweaty suits, no drunken slobs, yah de yah. This gets into the inner workings of human society, the subtleties and then wham, bang - well let's hope so. Roll on tonight !,

Well, true about the allegory, but the TOCs will be delighted to see empty trains, free seats, no crush or pushing, treading on others' feet blah de blah de blah.

Mark you, most people in London commute an hour each way minimum, and everyone has "romantic" fantasies during these boring times. Who could deny that!

Just watched both episodes back-to-back.

Really good. Believable, likeable characters made it a heart-rending, superb piece of drama.

You might well think that. I couldn't possibly comment

Totally agree. Every one nailed the parts on both sides. It was a bit painful to watch, having gone through it myself before, (being cheated on, but working it out in the end.)
