Just caught up with the last episode. Complete tosh! Not even the strong cast (most of them from the first series completely underused) could save this mess. There simply wasn’t enough plot to string out five episodes, and what little there was lacked any sense of reality. I half wanted the comedy hypochondriac to reappear in the final scene in the surgery, just to liven things up.
(And I couldn’t help thinking that the breakfast waitress was based on the one and only Victoria Wood. Is it on’t trolley? Is it a sorbet? Can you point to it...?)

Haha! I'm intrigued to know how you located it; I guessed it was there as I've driven past it quite a few times over the years! However, from the Tripadvisor photographs, I'm not 100% convinced that the interiors are the same hotel. The light fittings are different in the restaurant, and in the corridors. The room they used in the programme doesn't look like any posted by reviewers either. The Chinese restaurant is in the same road! I'd love to know the location of the busy dual carriageway where they filmed. And surely every car that passed was part of the filming... I'm a bit of a Locations Geek, and love spotting places I know or have been to in TV and films. National Trust are always a good bet.

Tracked it down as at one point you see the name of the "New Hertford Suite" on the outside of the building You could well be right that the interiors were done somewhere else

The original ending Bartlett planned was a bit different apparently: theatreboard.co.uk/thread/3488/doctor-foster?page=5I'm such a nerd for filming locations too. I once stayed in a hotel that Jimmy Nesbit went a bit mad in for Jekyll. They locked us out as well (accidentally). Also living in Cardiff has advantages for location nerding and saying 'that's not an alien planet Doctor it's Splott'

I spoiled an episode of Torchwood once by shouting out "ooh that's the road where I took my driving test!"

One of my favourites is the bit in Sherlock where they run from London to Cardiff in one shot I did get obsessive enough about this at one point to contribute to a book on it....http://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9781137555946

The twitter feed for This Morning has it. It's about 6 minutes long.

Yes they certainly left it open for series 3 But I think now confirmed no series 3? Mike Bartlett was in conversation at the Almeida tonight for "Albion", but Dr Foster came up. He said he'd only write another series if there was a story he wanted to tell, and right now there wasn't. The BBC would love to do another one, but at the moment there are no plans.

It seems to have something going for it; this could be good. I like the kind of scheduling that broadcasts an interesting series over consecutive nights, and in this case three nights suggests there won't be much padding-out involved. We'll soon see.
Just a thought, though: doesn't this series deserve its own thread?

Seems Doctor Foster will be back...but will 'Dirty Bertie'(as he has henceforth become known in my house)
Anyway also looking forward to Trauma, the TV show, not actual trauma.

It appears the press were misinformed in confirming a third series. Mike Bartlett was on Front Row the other day and said there are no plans for a third at present and he'll only do another if he comes up with an idea for a story he wants to tell. The BBC want a third so perhaps they will prevail.
Trauma co-stars Bertie's partner Sally Scott, most recently seen in the Michael Pennington King Lear.

Ah I thought it was a bit odd as Suranne said she was basically booked for the next 2 years anyway. Let sleeping Berties lie and all that...

The BBC want a third so perhaps they will prevail. Probably, the BBC also want a fourth and a fifth. Like Peaky Blinders and Line of Duty.
