"I know it's an ensemble drama, and they're all very talented actors, but for me the stand-out performance comes from Neil Dudgeon. He is absolutely superb, conveying Harry's confusion, anger and sadness brilliantly, and was particularly affecting this episode.
I hope we see lots more of him on screen soon and that he gets the accolades he deserves for such a powerful performance."

"Sorted is totally gripping and has great characters. Jack's episode was really, really good - we'd been guessing about his background and were proved right.
There was great acting by Mark Womack, you sympathise with Jack and it was good that Nancy realised he needed support. Some very touching - and funny (paint fight) moments!
Good to see the team pulling together, there are lessons there under the surface. Not sure what to make of the Harry/Charlie feud though..."
Ginny, Gloucestershire
"A dark and mysterious episode, brightened up considerably by the beautiful and talented Nina Sosanya as Nancy. She can butter my toast any day. Hope to see more of her if there's a second series.
However, there were not enough comedy moments to counter balance some fairly heavy social situations."
Rob Lightfoot, Bradford
"If the BBC need anyone to tempt Dex away from his older lady, I'm your girl."

"I'm a female postie and totally love Sorted.
It's so real in the sleeping with other people's wives! It's also true that we all look out for each other, and when you need it your fellow workers will really take care of you. I also don't want any extra female characters as I would only get jealous at these other women spending time with my postmen.
Radge has a sexy accent, but Dex is my favourite. If the BBC need anyone to tempt Dex away from his older lady, I'm your girl. Well done for brightening up Tuesday nights."

"My husband is a postman and leaves home in the dark all year round. These postman get in when it's light. What type of shifts are they working?"

"I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying this programme! It's part of my weekly 'must-watch' programme list, and believe me it's hard get to that standard.
I find the series plots and characters are just as enlightening as each other, and as for the setting, well who would have thought that Royal Mail could be so captivating?
In this episode, I give huge credit to Neil Dudgeon for the fantastic scene in which he told his wife he knew about her affair. I was totally gripped and was in complete awe of the feeling and depth that Neil brought to this show. With this scene, I knew I was watching a quality BBC programme."
M. Dodsworth, Newark, Notts
"Same old faces, same old scripts, same old poor camera work, same old slightly middle class homes.
Can the BBC and British TV not come up with anything original? Why do the British public digest this poor drama by the bucket load? I've never heard anyone speak like this. It's just EastEnders with a bigger budget, please make something that is original."

"I want to see Harry finishing with Kathy. I hated to see him being foolish."
|
"Please, please, please, give Harry some esteem. I want to see him finishing with Kathy. I hated to see him being foolish. It does not matter that their marriage wasn't so great anymore, no one should do this to anyone, she should be honest and ask for a divorce. She needs to look for her happiness instead of misleading him.
Please give Harry some pride. Don't let him down."
Izaboo, London
"I like Sorted, although it does not reflect the diverse city that Manchester is.
The other niggle is that Barmpot does not ring true as a Labour party activist at all. Anyone expressing the sort of opinions he does would have been sidelined years ago, certainly not allowed to stand as a councillor.
Then again, one minute he's trying to be more left than thou, next he's behaving like a management stooge when he's supposed to be union rep. This does not fit with what I know about postie union reps. The way he dealt with Jack just felt wrong. He feels lazily written and about 20 years out of date.
But I will keep watching."
Kate R, Manchester
"I love this show. It makes me laugh and cry - just what I want from TV. I'm hoping Barmpot gets some action before the end of the series. All the characters are so realistic, a fantastic cast. As for the 'it's not realistic' comments from some - I don't care because it is watchable and it keeps me wanting more."

"Loved this episode, everything is getting much more involved with the characters. Jack's secret is out - what a twist. Me and my mates thought he was a paedophile. I loved the irony of Jack's line 'now judge me' after he revealed that he'd killed his daughter. The writer deserves a medal for bringing to everyone's attention such important issues. Well done BEEB you've hit the jackpot with this drama."
Joanne, Huddersfield
"Some people have to work late. Why is this programme not repeated on BBC THREE later on the Tuesday and at a later date? Or on the Internet like Ideal?"
