Mum's Monday: Dial M for Middlesbrough

What a start and an interesting macabre game of swing ball, a dodgy curry makes for some amusing and creepy scenes. Shady Creek Caravan Park has some extra visitors. It seems ‘Shady’ is the right name for the place and its characters, a clever reference. Oh dear, the message and oh dear again, even worse, the grammar is wrong.

It is genius the apparatus used on the roller-skating rink. This is ‘Dial M’ Not Dial A for accident. It is good to see ‘Cling Film’ comes in very handy. Staying safe on the skating rink is not the only plan Terry (Johnny Vegas) comes up with. An investigation does however, seem the best logic, until the police can get to them.

Chad (John Macmillan) is an amusing/interesting character. It all turns sinister, not. This program has all been done really well, the mix of the characters odd to sensible, sinister to weird and scenes that are logical and others that are not so or not at all logical.

The plot thickens. Bad cop and smiling good cop is really funny to watch. What is also a surprise to watch is the request before Penny (Ambreen Razia) and her husband are murdered. Sadly, I can see the appeal from what happens/is said previously.

I like the idea of teamwork to find the killer, but before any of that it gets really serious and yes stalking is serious.

This is definitely not a cooking program, yet the biggest shock comes next. It is actually a tragically sad moment. Now one tiny switch for WIFI, one large fire but amazingly one miracle saves the day.

An interesting, clever yet ‘Shady’ program.

One of things that appealed to me to watch this program was the fact that I have been to Middlesbrough and have travelled across the river on the ‘Transporter bridge’. I went across as a foot passenger/pedestrian. There is a small charge for the return trip I made. There is also a visitor centre, the address of this and the bridge is Ferry Road, Middlesbrough, Postcode TS2 1PL. At the time of writing this blog post, December 2019, the bridge is sadly closed for repairs/maintenance but opening times and additional information can be looked up by going onto the Middlesbrough.gov.uk website.
