Hi,

Great site, Great Series.

Here's a trivia question for you Crackers out there..

Please can anybody remind me of the song sung by Sean at the end of To Say I Love you?

I Have hunted High and Low on the web, Ive waited 2 weeks for this episode to be aired on ITV3, but forgot that it was a multipart episode which concludes in 3 weeks (by which time i will be out of the country on business and not back for 3 months...

I have orderd the DVD via amazon but my delivery is not due for again 3 weeks - arghh! - i will be away..

If anyone can put me out of my misery - PLEASE do so.

Much appretiated.

The song is "Sad Sweet Dreamer" by Sweet Sensation, from the album also called "Sad Sweet Dreamer", released in 1974.

Ahh, Bionic

Thanks a million, I can sleep again at night without running through and disgarding a thousand possible tunes.

I admit was becomme increasingly obsessed by that question and was worried about getting to the point of stopping people randomly in the street to ask if they knew what the the song was. - phew (imagine it if you will)

I can go away now and simply look forward to coming home to my DVD to enjoy the whole episode in full .

Thanks again dude ;D much appretiated.

Very Best Regards

Tony

PS. Here's a link to it for anyone interested. (possibly only me!!)

Isn't there a plot hole in this episode?

At the beginning where Tina sees Sean doing his karaoke, the conversation they have makes it seem as if they had not met before (i.e. she doesn't seem to know his name). But dialogue later in the story makes it seem as if Tina and Sean had known each other before the story began (like when Sean told Fitz that Tina's family wouldn't allow him in). Is this a mistake on my part, or (dare I say it) Jimmy's?

Hi Drefigg,

It's not really a plot-hole, but not a very believable part of the script either. In the novelization of To say I love You, it is stressed that the relation of Tina and Sean <i>feels</i> like they've known each other for years, all the things Sean would like to say.. he didn't have to, because Tina <i>understood</i>... Nevertheless they met each other in the karaoke bar that evening.

Sean never got into the house of Tina;s parents, and as far as I know they tried once... More important could be that while Tina got in, her father stated: 'get rid of him, then we'll talk'.

I think anyone who has been in a pestering love, full of harried desire has felt this way: met someone three days ago, thinking three days and feelings as if you know that person much... much longer.

God, I feel old after this last example

I have only seen the first series so far, but in my opinion I think this is the best story. The characterisation of Sean and Tina are fantastic and I became very attached to all the characters. I thought it was incredibly melancholy. Whilst it is my favourite episode so far, I thought Tina's background could have been explained better and Fitz could have delved deeper. I thought her relationship with her family and why she turned out the way she did was sort of glossed over. For those reasons I thought it should only have lasted two episodes. I think I would have enjoyed it more if Sean left poor Tina high and dry and to take all the blame.

Does anyone know who plays the music Fitz has on the radio in the scene where he's getting drunk in the garden? This is after he's left Judith's parents house. - Mark and a neighbour are taking it in turns to lean out of the window and yell at him to go to bed and Fitz just sits there periodically waving at the security light to make it come back on.

Hi there,

Does anyone know the name of the piece of music which plays in To Say I Love You when Sean and Tina first sleep together? It's about 8 minutes into part one of To Say I Love You.

The music can also be heard in Series Four, Episode One of Cold Feet.

It's really bugging me. Hope someone can help....

Thanks,

Mark

Haven't seen the epusode for years... But from heart it's a song by the Cocteau Twins, album called Ivo.

But I don't know which track...

Judging by the date of your post, I'm going to assume you already know this by now. If you don't, it's Frankie Miller singing 'I Can't Change It' :-)

[sapphireoceans]

I was just wondering if anybody knows anything about the piece of music that plays as the credits go up at the end of part one. No vocals, just the music that closes the episode? Shazam hasn't picked it up. Any help appreciated, thanks.. :-)

These are the episodes I'm watching again because they're shown once more on ITV. Seen them numerous times but as a fan of the series will often watch again. There's always new things you can learn.

For me this is the where the series really starts. It's only the 2nd storyline but Mad Woman in the Attic just didn't work for me or holds little intrigue or focus. You don't really get suitable recognition of the main characters such as Bilborough, Beck, Judith and Penhaligon until some way into the series but here at least they're given some presence of identities.

For me Sean Kerrigan and Tina just don't seem to work. They've only known each other in a very relative short space of time but claim to love each other like no couple before and seem committed to carry out murder readily and acts of violence that just seem out of pace or keeping with their initial introduction. Sean has a stutter when introduced but as the story progresses no speech impediment seems to exist or seems prevalent. SPOILER ALERT, when he's ready to set fire to the house in the third episode and wants an hour meeting with tina, it's back with a vengeance.

Giggs isn't a central character to the series and gets killed off far too early to make him a relevant or person of interest and Chris Ecclestone still appears too young or junior to have made rank of Detective Chief Inspector. Penhaligon gets more screen time than in future episodes of the series while DS Beck by contrast takes a seat back and doesn't feature prominently. He'll get his chance if future storylines after this.

When Fitz catches out Tina at the pub and calls the Police, Sean is waiting (for them to come out so he can inflict violence or further murder on Eddie) but the place is crawling with Old Bill while he waits outside. With a murder charge over him, a wanted person and knowing they're there to arrest Tina, it seems out of place he should put himself in such jeopardy or should have scarpered as soon as the law moved in. The third episode of the storyline is probably the best, which should be shown tonight on ITV3.

It's not the best or most enthralling storyline of the series, far from it, but does have one or two redeeming features. There's just not enough emphasis on character development but maybe asking too much just two storylines or handful of episodes into the entire series.
