Marnie is a clever sixteen year old, from a poor background, her mother doesn't want her to progress with her studies, she wants her to get a job, and pay the bills.
I've watched a few of the earlier episodes recently, and this is a far cry from what Jimmy McGovern first penned, I'm afraid I didn't enjoy this at all, a very poorly penned episode.
What is it with victims in dramas at The BBC, there is a bit of a pattern to this series, there's nothing exactly new going on here, it's a story that somehow feels very dated.
It's a drama very much showing where The BBC is at right now, it's very dull, it lacks any real grit, a far cry from early seasons, if this is where The BBC plans to take the show, it's perhaps time to call it a day.
You can't knock the acting, they tried, but there wasn't enough to bring this dreary story to life, sorry, I was bored to tears, 4/10.
