Tractor Girl

Nicholas Bell played Martin Tyrell in the early 90s. He worked briefly with Paul and Caroline and had a briefly dated Caroline, though may have been married IIRC

I watched this over the last week. It was ok. Jackie was good and it was interesting to see her in another role. I have seen her in Prisoner, Flying Drs and briefly in Sons and Daughters, but that was all a long time ago. There were moments when her face was pure Susan. That's not a criticism but most of the time I believed I was watching a different character but then there would be the odd moment. I felt the ending was really rushed (Funnily enough at my book group we often say the end of the book is the weakest point with everything getting wrapped up really quickly - same with this) and there were still lots of unanswered questions, not least the whole why. Dannii Minogue's part while significant was much smaller than the advertising had suggested which was annoying. Watching her occasionally reminded me of Kylie in her Neighbours days, more than Kylie reminds me of her old self most of the time. I was very pleased to see another Neighbours alumni in the form of Nicholas Bell appear. He's popped up in so much over the years, it's always nice to see him. So over all am I glad I watched it? I'm not sure I'd go that far. On the other hand I have seen worse... a lot worse.....
