Just finished watching episode one. Excellent acting - characters rather then caricatures. Definitely more like it than Mayday. Shaping up to be a very good drama.

I think it was the woman detective's husband wot dunnit! smile

whenim64 Tue 19-Mar-13 17:28:34

Oy!! Marelli! Put a warning first before you blow it wide open, will you?? grin

Now I'm going to have to try and forget I read that! grin

Mishap Tue 19-Mar-13 17:28:38

Motive? - getting his son mixed up in drugs?

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 17:30:52

Stop it!

Perhaps we should have a separate Whodunnit Theories thread! grin

whenim64 Tue 19-Mar-13 17:31:17

....fingers in ears and over eyes.... La La La....I'm not reading this!!! grin

whenim64 Tue 19-Mar-13 17:32:41

If there is a separate whodunnit thread, do me a favour and password it!!!

I think it's the grumpy old newsagent who done it! He's always a baddy in these dramas wink

I'm also getting fed up with David T gazing moodily out to sea every five minutes. hmm

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 19:18:07

It's the plumber's mate what did it!

Ella agree, fed up with the moody gazing from DT. Too much stubble as well.

Ella46 Tue 19-Mar-13 19:21:01

I liked the plumber's mate wink....and not as the villain!

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 19:24:29

Time will tell........wink

Pauline Quirke. Otherwise, what is she doing there?

Marelli Tue 19-Mar-13 19:30:10

grin - sorry, when! Anyway, who was that man that was talking to DT in the bus shelter thing? I must have been looking at GN when the scene started confused.

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 19:33:05

One of his old cronies from his last posting, I thought.....

Marelli Tue 19-Mar-13 19:58:16

Aah - maybe, Ana.

Mishap Tue 19-Mar-13 20:08:01

He was a doctor Ithtink??

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 20:20:51

Was he? Perhaps I got that wrong and he was DT's psychiatrist....confused

Forzanonna Tue 19-Mar-13 20:51:41

Yes I thought he was a doctor and there's something very wrong with DT sad. i think Pauline Quirk has something to do with it - didn't we see a rucksack or something in her caravan?

Grannyeggs Tue 19-Mar-13 21:00:13

I think we saw the missing skate board of the dead boy last week in her houseForzananna I think there are a lot of clues and red herrings, I am confused but am thoroughly enjoying it.

Ana Tue 19-Mar-13 21:07:15

Forzanonna you've just jogged my memory - yes of course, DT has a serious condition....

grumppa Wed 20-Mar-13 10:28:15

I agree that DT has a serious condition, Ana. It's called mumbling, especially to his psychiatrist (?).

Having suggested earlier that the DT character is the murderer, I am now keen that he should himself be bumped off as soon as possible in the next episode, as nobody as continuously and consistently rude could ever have become a DI, and he is a pain to watch. With luck, the DS will poison him when he comes to dinner.

Ana Wed 20-Mar-13 10:30:05

grin grumppa

Ella46 Mon 25-Mar-13 21:43:05

I can't keep up with all these red herrings!

Ella46 Mon 25-Mar-13 21:44:41

Told you that the newsagent was a bad bad man! wink

whenim64 Mon 25-Mar-13 21:53:42

I'm not looking. I'm going to watch it on ITV+1 shortly - just watching the documentary about Boris grin

grumppa Mon 25-Mar-13 22:42:05

Worst episode yet. Tennant's character is clearly not fit to detect and should be relieved of all responsibilities before he kills someone.
