Looks like it should be good, but I would watch Toby Jones watch paint dry.

Very intriguing- I'm hooked!

And I agree about Toby - superb actor, as are all the rest of the cast.

Agreed, really enjoyed it. A I'm watching Detectorists as well it was a tad of seeing Lance and Rachel together.

Watched the whole hour. No idea where it's going...

Did the trader's bonus go down from an estimated 1-2m to 30k based on the junior guy logging into his PC or the German boss?

Enjoyed it, apart from the ludicrous attempt at passing off something close to midsummer as Christmas Day!

That was enjoyable, though looking back I couldn't really relate anything that happened during the hour that I didn't see in the trailer. Also I'm getting a bit confused over several similar-looking people - to me, the policeman and the junior guy in the bank looked quite similar, and not all that different to the grandson who took the postcards away and stuck them on the window of his expensive flat. Sounds as if it will be about the right length as well, three episodes, rather than dragging it out to more with some filler. Good.

I thought that was odd (the flat) seeing as he was coppering up for a box of chocs earlier.

The nanny is ace. I think I might pray for a Christmas miracle

Good telly - very enjoyable so far (less the unseasonable setting pointed out upthread).

What's the assistant trader doing after hours at his screens? Losing everything? Will our hero have to go and work for the Polish builder (or trade yummy wife in and keep the nanny)?

It's all very interesting!! I assume the trader is using the funds from Roger's client accounts to make trades of his own, possible?

I gather this is only a three parter. They've got a lot of explaining to do in one hour next week. Or will they bother?

Either that or second series. I seriously hope all is explained.

Looking forward to this, seems rushed so far though.

The woman who's grandad stashed the money... She said that she didn't have the heart to tell the builder than the notes were no longer legal tender.

You could still say you found the suitcase in a wood, and go change them at the Bank of England. Bank notes retain their value, even if out of circulation.
