The Au Pair

INSULIN SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN THE CUPBOARD... I assume they are referring to Scene 1.09

"Insulin that is not currently in use should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its effectiveness and prevent it from breaking down. Once an insulin pen or vial is opened, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days."

And, Scene 1.19A George is unconscious:

You can see, Chris is actually preparing the Glucagon, you can see him shake the Glucagon powder with the liquid, you just about don't see him go to the fridge - which was actually filmed.

All in all, well done to everyone involved!!!

The insulin shouldn't be in the cupboard. It should be refrigerated. And when a person's blood glucose is dangerously low, you do NOT give them a shot of insulin as in episode 1. You administer glucagon or give them juice or sugary drink. A shot of insulin would make their glucose even lower. It would not bring him around as it did.

The whole diabetes part is completely wrong and should've been researched better - totally unbelievable. No one gives insulin in a "usual" dose especially without checking their blood sugar first. Obviously they never even consulted a real diabetic or else they would have been made aware of these inaccuracies.

One of the best Channel 5 dramas I have seen and think I have watched them all.

Zoe is the step mother of two lovely children who she is struggling to build a relationship with. She is running a successful millinery business and definitely finds it hard to run the business and the family.

She decides to get an au pair to help and Sandrine enters her life.

Great location as always and superb acting - wonderful to see David Suchet on form. Kevin Doughty who played Sean in Stella is too playing a great role as Zoe's husband Chris.

The four episodes will keep you guessing until the end.

Definitely recommended!

It started with me thinking I'd figured everything out by episode 2, a tale of revenge by a scorned and unwanted child.

I had of course worked out one fundamental aspect but the relationships I completely got wrong.

Brilliant acting by all involved but the story didn't become clear until episode 4. Which let's be honest, by any drama nowadays is a triumph

You really won't see the ending coming and you're actually rooting for the initial perpetrator. I sort of feel that the protagonist Zoe is a little bit dumb on occasions but then again, don't most of us trust those closest to us?

I'll let you work out who those people are.

As a diabetic i found this extremely annoying! Firstly INSULIN is kept in a fridge not a cupboard! Secondly if someone is unconscious with LOW SUGAR you do NOT give them INSULIN! That will kill them!! Sorry but what a bad, bad script!!

Really wanted to carryon watching but the extreme inaccuracy would not allow me too!

If someone with dangerously low blood sugar was given insulin they would die! I dont understand how basic medical knowledge wasn't checked! I cant surely be the only person who saw this? Even if you are not diabetic you would know this!

We live in the year 2025 and there is GOOGLE!
