Oh good. I love Cormoran Strike

Me too! Something good to look forward to.

Great! Thanks for that news

Grannybags Mon 28-Nov-22 09:33:11

Ooh thanks. Love Comoran Strike!

Troubled Blood was my absolute favourite of the Strike books by a long way, so I look forward to the dramatisation.

Excellent, looking forward to it, I’m reading The Ink Black Heart now.

Thanks. I like Strike books and hadn’t noticed it being advertised. ITVx seems to be starting with a lot of new dramas.

Already set it to record, in case I forget.

I can't wait. I love Strike and his side-kick!

Another strike fan here. Really looking forward to seeing it as I love the audiobook books.

BlueBelle Sat 10-Dec-22 18:59:00

I LOVE him too.

Tonight people!

Never heard of the books but might watch this if others reccommend.

Enjoyed the first episode. Must be a couple of years since I read the book, and can’t remember the whole story, but it kept coming back.

Cormoran as gorgeous as ever, as played by Tom Burke, but he really needs to pack on a few more pounds as he is not resembling how the character really looks.

Am sure in the first series or so he was much bulkier, but now looks positively svelte compared to how he is described in the books.

More like Robbie Coltrane looked in ‘Cracker’ would be a more realistic image.

We enjoyed it too, on tonight part two.

silverlining48 Mon 12-Dec-22 09:44:38

I watched it too and will watch part 2 tonight

Greyduster Mon 12-Dec-22 09:52:23

Loved it! Off to a very good start. If he packed on a few more pounds, would Robyn still fancy him though🤔? If she didn’t want him, I’d have him…….

Calendargirl Mon 12-Dec-22 09:59:48

I think Robin fancies him whatever, heavy or not!

As do all his ex girlfriends.

According to the books, he’s very overweight, a heavy smoker and drinker, eats loads of junk food, a mardy looking so and so, noticeable problems with his prosthetic leg, lives in a poky flat above his office, and although the business is doing well now, used to be hand to mouth money wise in the past.

Despite all that, the ladies can’t resist him.

Think he must be great in bed!

Littleannie Mon 12-Dec-22 10:57:34

All 4 episodes are on i-player

Greyduster Mon 12-Dec-22 11:09:20

Think he must be great in bed!. Calendar girl stoppit! Stoppit!!

icanhandthemback Mon 12-Dec-22 11:13:24

We binge watched...just loved it.

Sar53 Mon 12-Dec-22 12:02:30

We enjoyed it too as we have the previous series. Looking forward to tonight's episode.

I have just emerged from a binge watch right up to the end.
No spoilers though!
