Poor luvvies. They found it creepy because there are no street lamps. It looks like being yet another series that I would have to be drugged and strapped into a chair to make me watch.

I believe the causeway features in both versions of 'The woman in black' including the most recent one with Harry Potter in it.

On a slightly different note what's with all the touring caravans parked in rows on the island?

This is on Sky Arts right now (11am) so I pressed record out of curiosity. However whatever it is it is on continuously until 9:30pm.
That is one episode called: The Third Day: Autumn. No thank you, seems to remind me of John Cage and his music.
It seems to have started at 9:30am, so 12 hours per episode, wonder what its about?

I've seen "highlights" of it on Gogglebox... One minute the guy was in woods (possible on Osea) the next in the middle of a huge cut cornfield (not possible on Osea). Nothing about it would make me want to watch the whole thing

We had the misfortune to try and watch some of it last night. Some very odd scene of people getting dunked in muddy water and a lot of drinking.

Well. I wasn't feeling very well yesterday and had been promising myself a day of R &R on the sofa watching the telly. A decent way to spend a rainy miserable Saturday. I watched the whole 12 hours and, yes, at times it was dull but I couldn't take my eyes of it and was mesmerised. Marc had to watch for me for toilet breaks but otherwise I watched every minute. I thought it was brilliant.
Have to say though...it had not tempted me to stay on Osea.

The Third Day is fantastic. A masterpiece by a company called Punchdrunk. It is slow. It requires attention. I reckon folks who have the patience to do longer sailing crossings, might enjoy it. But agree dipping in and out of it, it might seem a bit odd... (as would dipping into a crossing and just sitting there for a bit...)

Oh and Osea has a restaurant that is popping up on it later this month called 'Native' so one can go and check out the island and eat a load of local oysters and other seafood.

I tried watching it for near on an hour..
Half an hour some woman tap dancing
Then an hour of mud dipping
What is it about ?

you need to start at the beginning! (And ideally watch episodes 1-3 where the Jude law protagonist arrives at Osea)

Charlie are you involved in this production by any chance?

Not at all - just a long standing Punchdrunk fan. (it is possible to have other interests which are not sailing... it’s true!)

Certainly right about other interests as I have not been on the water this year at all.
But I have to say watching 3 X 12 hours of television is definitely not one of mine.
Whatever floats your boat I suppose. 2 or 3 hours in the evening for me, like to be active in daylight.
I enjoy film of most styles inc. Art/ Foreign?/ Old and Stupid but 36 hours? That's specialist.

I see you are in aldeburgh - the theatre company which made 'third day' also make The Borough in aldeburgh a few summers ago. Quite similar in various ways...
