This is a tremendous song, and 3 versions I have seen - the original video, the one with the pink coat and this different Brits performance and the one called the orchestral version are all so theatrical and sexy.

It is a far cry from the theme tune for the James Bond film Spectre, the excellent "Writing's on the Wall" from only 7 years ago. Sam's voice is still so good but I think it has a harder edge to it and he has really blossomed as a dramatic performer too.

I personally think they are even sexier now that they have, shall we say, filled out a bit. So powerful and sexy.

Kim Petras is new to me but I love her in this song, I especially like the woop woops like a siren.!

I had heard a lot about this film and was delighted to find it on Talking Pictures TV.

I was disappointed.

Jennifer Jones is usually good and although she is watchable here, her delivery is oddly stilted and declamatory. The film has attractive locations and is an interesting picture of life at that but as a love story it fails to convince because the leads have absolutely zero chemistry.

To me the film is flat and lacks fizz and, for me, is not worth watching again.

I thought this was terrific with great characters. I'm on the west coast of Scotland rather than in Ireland but I recognise the setting and attitudes and find them all to be believable.maybe you have to have a rural Celtic or Northern background to fully appreciate the mild humour and the secrets and the shame etc.

I also enjoyed seeing people, especially the women, who look real with real looks and figures - normal, pleasant, naturally attractive people and no one tottering around in farms and in the countryside in high heels. And it was great to see a mature romance between less than svelte people.

I very much hope there will be a second series.
