Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear Dec 2022 7:53am, 23 Dec 2022 9,353 posts	0 Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear My O levels are numbers, way before the letters came in. My O Levels grades were letters Chrisity and we’re a similar age I think. The grading labelling I think depended on which exam board was sat. In Bristol we had London board exams.
Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear Dec 2022 7:54am, 23 Dec 2022 9,354 posts	0 Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear I watched the first of this series last night, and felt quite lost as it was a long while since I read the books. By the end I think I was beginning to get a grip on the story.
Ocelot Spleens Dec 2022 8:34am, 23 Dec 2022 35,899 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Which exam board? Blimey I'd have to check. I think this series will have an awful lot of chopping and changing compared to a straight read of the book, which was pretty dull in places. As well as reminders.
Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Dec 2022 9:36am, 23 Dec 2022 45,110 posts	0 Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) My wife hasn't read books and couldn't remember end of season 2 and was v lost. Multi worlds is inherently confusing. But fascinating. G

Joopsy Dec 2022 4:38pm, 23 Dec 2022 11,743 posts	0 Joopsy I'm soooo young (1988, first year of GCSEs) The first were actually in 87 when they trialled English before switching them all in 88. I was one of the few that did CSE’s, O’ levels and GCSE’s in the same year.

Northern Exile Dec 2022 11:58pm, 24 Dec 2022 9,354 posts	0 Northern Exile I'm not too impressed with the first three in the series. DK's acting feels very wooden and contrived.
Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Dec 2022 8:21am, 25 Dec 2022 45,123 posts	0 Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) I think DK is ace. She's playing being drugged, trapped by her mother, missing her best friends, abandoned by her father, with no hope of escape. I think she's allowed to look a bit like a rabbit in the headlights! And Will P has improved. MacAvoy is hamming it up brilliantly. Ruth Wilson continues to be sinister, even in sign language. The angels are interesting- powerful, but vulnerable too. I'm only on Ep 3. Looking forward to catching up a bit! G
Flatlander Dec 2022 8:51am, 25 Dec 2022 2,653 posts	0 Flatlander I'm watching the series on BBC1 and it was only up to episode 2 last night. Are you watching it elsewhere ahead of the BBC? I am enjoying the series so far, so I had better stop watching this thread so it doesn't spoil it for me for the rest of the series.
