Tip Toe

[Fat Old Sun]

God and I thought Half Man was a difficult watch.

[Simon_GH]

It was pretty violent. Very well written and performed but unnecessarily grim!

[Blue62]

Haven’t watched half man yet, but Tip Toe is television at its best, Cummings is so talented. I’m sure it will pick up a few awards.

Think this has been brilliant. Provocative. Clever. Well written. Not didactic or preachy and covered a lot of ground in its short run. Very, very good in my opinion.

[Don Veloci]

Took a while for this one to get discussed.

Cummings was excellent but credit to Morrissey too. Great performance flip flopping between a normal reasonable persona and his true nature.

Lots going on. I thought the lads lads tribe culture was turned up to 11 a bit for dramatic purposes but perhaps there are plenty that behave that way.

It has been discussed on the what's on tv thread,the ending was OTT but other than that I enjoyed it.
The 2 main characters were very well acted

Apparently they’re friends and have known each other for years.

The Scottish guy hosts the US version of Traitors but even his talent doesn’t make the programme watchable.

He’ll always be Boris from Goldeneye to me

I’ve been on the fence about watching this. It’s been very heavily promoted, but wasn’t sure it would be my bag. Will definitely be watching based on the recommendations here.

I thought the last episode was silly, it was as if they just tried to force in some triggers. Thought provoking but silly.

I've seen another poster say he won't watch anything written by him,why is that ?

I found it quite a difficult watch albeit a good drama.

The ending was a shocker - without spoiling it for anyone I find it difficult to believe a group of normal lads would end up in that situation.

[200Plus Club]

Excellently acted throughout we thought.

For me the ending was meant to be illustrative rather than 'real'. It really identified the 'mob' mentality that exists in human beings and other animals, a graphic warning after all, how many times have we read about a shocking event and thought 'Wow, I never thought that could happen...'

Uncomfortable television throughout, provocative and well made.
