The Night Manager? Anyone?

[K12beano]

Cast of brilliance (who knew "House" could do a British accent?), story from an epic author, Auntie Beeb.

Great ingredients......

[hornetrider]

Just stumbled across this by accident. Tuning in.

I'm sure there's something else I should be watching though. Oh wait D83 had finished.

[Justayellowbadge]

It was a little bit bloody good.

[V8covin]

Enjoyed that

[DoctorX]

Excellent

[Dan_1981]

Enjoyed.

[hornetrider]

Yes very good. What a stand up chap. Decent set up episode.

[iandc]

Great book and although they have changed some things it looks like being great 6 episodes. Good opening episode and some great twists to come

[Bullett]

Enjoyed that a lot.

[HarryW]

Yes, superb start, looking forward to the rest.

[bingybongy]

As much as I think the BBC is massively flawed sometimes they get it right.
That was excellent.

[Cfnteabag]

I really enjoyed that.

I hope the comment in the op about Hugh Laurie's British accent was missing a smiling face or have I earned myself a woosh parrot?

parrot to aisle 11, please!

More drama and better acting in that than in the 3 hours (it felt longer) of Spectre- top drawer stuff.

[Halmyre]

Good stuff although the shopping list of armaments was a bit OTT.

[hornetrider]

Nice background piece here.

Next Bond?

[sparkythecat]

Top notch, right from the off. Even the opening credits were good enough for a Bond film.

I've been hoping this would be good and I wasn't disappointed.

Having just come back from Zermatt, the location was a bit of a bonus too, but, for me, a perfectly judged first episode!

It's all a bit incestuous though, isn't it? We've got the Vicar and his wife and the fraud inspector with Karl from the job centre (Good to see that promotion across departments within the civil service is possible!). I was sure Stephen Fry was about to appear at any point and I'm sure we're going to get a hitman saying "Morning, Vicarage" at some point!

That said, it didn't really spoil my enjoyment, it was an absolutely first class hour of TV - Here's hoping next week's keeps the pace up. It'll be a challenge!
