    Anyone been watching this. I hadn't even heard of it til the wife spotted it. Worst Yorkshire accents ever but worth a watch for the local scenes and references.

    Just deleted my spoiler. Didn't realise I was watching on player and episode 2 is on bbc tonight. I'll post it again tomorrow :joy:

    I'm enjoying it, probably because of the scenic familiarity, some great night time shots of VP lit up at night. Acting isn't brilliant but it's a decent watch

    Didn't fancy it initially but watched it out of curiosity due to the locations.

    Seen the first 3 episodes so far and much better than I was expecting.

    Now the 2nd episode has been aired on BBC I can reinstate my original comment.

    In episode 2 a woman is murdered in the Bradford Club. Shocking :eek2: - when did they start letting ladies in?
    Joking apart I was amazed it's still there. It's 40 yrs since I worked in Bradford

    I watched the whole series on iPlayer and enjoyed it. Fun playing ‘spot the Bratfud location’.

    FFS Dennis! I deleted my spoiler above when I realised the second episode hadn't been aired until last night. I'm only on episode 4 and now you've ruined it :sob:

    Useless fact. Staz Nazir, the lead actor, studied at Dr Challoners Grammar school in Amersham where my brother in law works.

    OMG it's true - they do allow ladies now! Joking aside I'm amazed such an institution is still thriving in Bradford. Although looking at the members it might not have long...

    I watched the first episode, because part of the series was filmed in Harold park, where I walk daily, not seen that location yet , but the story and acting leaves something to be desired so far, but only seen 1 episode

    In the books by AA Dhand she worked and was killed in Waterstones and found hanging from the rafters.
    I’ve read all books so am finding everything wrong with it but loving it at the same time lol
