BBC Three is proving itself to still produce some amazing drama despite the move online. Is anyone else watching Thirteen? I'm so hooked on it! It's incredibly well-paced, well-written and so gripping. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new show to watch.

It also stars the girl from Doctor Foster as the lead actress and she does a great job in this! The first two episodes are available on BBC iPlayer and they are released every Sunday at 12pm.

i should, but i've not quite figured out the new bbc 3 format.

is it still an actual channel, which you can stream, or is it that the daily drop/ i player/ everything else is all you have now.

It's basically just iPlayer, you can watch any BBC Three show available whenever you want!

This was brilliant, watched it over the weekend because I had no plans so thought I'd do a mass catchup on iplayer, it was so gripping and I can't wait to watch the next episode. The lead actress is astonishing!

Just watched the first two episodes. Gripping stuff! The ending of episode 2 made me jump outta my skin

For those who prefer TV to iPlayer, then this is being shown on BBC Two on Sundays at 10pm!

(although you will stil have to watch the first episode online as its the second that airs tonight )

That police woman is so horrible. After being a general bitch to Ivy from the start, she's been playing bad cop to Eloise as well in this week's episode! I'm guessing the body at the end of the episode will be Mark White's brother.

I kind of want the policeman to take me to his basement for 13 years.

This is getting even better as the episodes go on, it's fabulously paced.

I've seen the first two episodes so far. Aneurin Barnard has been a busy boy recently. After playing Cilla's husband he's been in War And Peace and now this. I'm sure his agent's bank balance is starting to look quite healthy.

The police are being portrayed really badly in this. They're so heavy handed with Ivy considering she's just escaped from captivity after 13 years. If this was real life, surely she and her family would be suing the police over this?

Posted by: Suedehead2 24th March 2016, 09:03 PM

I would have thought that, in real life, she would have been able to have an "appropriate adult" with her.

Posted by: burbe 24th March 2016, 09:43 PM

Yes that's true! Also, they wouldn't have allowed her to go home so quickly. Compare with the film Room - they were kept at least overnight in hospital for monitoring. In this, Ivy was allowed to go home after a couple of hours.

I've just started this - it's fantastic, i can't wait to watch episode 3 tonight. One of the best shows this year!
