Fizzled out.

Over long, in need of a good editing, and not as interesting as last week's opening episode.

Disappointing.

I agree Rindy.

How many times does that happen, with two part dramas?

Starts off great, and the second part/ending's rubbish.

I think writers try harder to make the beginings exciting, because that's all the programme makers usually have to go on, when commissioning new programmes.

Perhaps they should look at the ending instead.

Yep, it was crap

Didn't watch the one last Sunday or last night either, but there was a report in a Sunday Paper saying that Rose West was hurt and very annoyed that the program had portrayed her as a monster, anybody thing of a different word to describe her, no me neither

There was an article about her and the programme, in last week's Sunday Times.

There was an old photograph of Rose West, describing her as 'hauntingly beautiful' in her youth.

I know beauty's in the eye of the beholder, but that seemed to be stretching things a bit too far, and it's certainly not how I'd have described her.

I think I'd have settled for looking a bit simple.

Would have loved to see how the hack would have portrayed a real minger

Disappointing.

The problem with Internet forums is that they breed ignorance in that certain types of people can make one line quips and then get their mates to back them up! This would not happen in real time situations as it would end up in physical violence. Problem with the Internet people can behave deviously and highly negatively in away they could not do before.

I don't think the 2nd one was dissapointing - it went into how the appropriate adult was manipulated and used by "evil" Fred West. I don't know how true that was the way she kept visiting him with out Police knowledge, but she was a fool to do it without telling the Police! Perhaps the week break killed the momentum but I thought it was very good all in all!

Trust me, ever since I learned to speak I've spoken my own mind.

I neither care, nor am particularly bothered, if others happen to share my own point of view. Though I do find it fascinating to know what others are thinking.

It doesn't make my thoughts more, or less important than anyone else's.

I do pity your situation, in which differences of opinion end in 'physical violence'. That's a very sad situation to be living with.

Anyway, back to the subject of the programme Appropriate Adult, which subsequently seems more than a little ironic.

I, and it seems others who've posted, were disappointed with the final episode, compared to the opening one, the Sunday before.

You liked it.

The rest of us obviously aren't as easily satisfied.

Takes all sorts.

Plus, Flashy and Junetta know and speak their own mind.

To suggest they posted to 'back up their mate', is utterly ludicrous.

Next we'll be hearing, yet again, about the sinister and evil workings of the Accy Web 'clique'.

I don't see anything wrong with Garinda's comments on the second programme. We all have our own likes or dislikes with tv programmes. So why is someone suggesting physical violence would be used in a face to face situation? I don't like Coronation Street. WHACK! How dare you criticise Ken Barlow!

flashy · 13-09-2011, 07:32

Backing mates up hey.....whatever happened to freedom of speech? And believe me, i do say WHAT i want, WHEN i want, i don't ever feel the need to back anyone up, if i think what they are saying is right i will agree, if i think what they are saying is wrong then i'll air my views, kestrelx, you really haven't got used to me yet have you?
