Thanks for your answers to my query, but there's some more info that I perhaps should have included firstly. The film is 120, and the shots were taken indoors in a low contrast situation. If I can help it I would like to be able to control the negative contrast,(pump it up a bit), but realise I'm limited in my options. Dev is in small tank too. Help!!!

If this was ambient light, you'll probably do fine developing as if exposed normally. Two stops over-exposure is not exceedingly important in flat lighting--some would not call this overexposure at all.

How did you meter?

What's your normal exposure index for HP-5+?

What was the lighting?

Shoot another roll under similar lighting conditions. Develop that roll and you will have a good starting point to determine developing time for the contrast you want.
