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 am now totally confused as how this all going to be tied up.The bald bloke who didn't shoot the dog, did he put the body on the beach for someone else? What was on that computer? Did Tom accidentally kill Danny and Nigel got rid of the body? Almost anything can happen, but I think the vicar is dodgy and the Policewoman's husband a possible suspect.I don't know what I'm going to do when this is over, there should be more dramas like this on television, I've loved it.

I'm still ruminating over the boy's mother, and her ambivalence about her pregnancy. The policewoman's husband has been ignoring her requests to get the decorating done. Has he been busy elsewhere, and is this why the two boys fell out? Hmm hmm

Maybe it's that newspaper woman, trying to boost her reputation! hmm

Told you Nige didn't shoot the dog! We know more or less who didn't do it. but I'm still in the dark about who did. confused

Well, I am totally confused as I have missed all the previous episodes and only saw the last 20 minutes of this evening's, but it looked pretty good. Hopefully it will be repeated and I can find out what it's all about grin

merlot, sister's boyfriend, Danny and Nigel, had all been going out at night looking for animals (to shoot?)....I think hmm

That dog looks guilty as hell! grin

merlotgran Mon 15-Apr-13 22:22:44

I didn't quite follow the bombshell that Danny's sister's boyfriend dropped. Oh well. It will all come out in the wash.

Any chance the dog did it? hmm

Ella46 Mon 15-Apr-13 22:08:42

I enjoyed this weeks episode, but I still don't know who dunnit if it isn't 'Nige' hmm

Forzanonna Mon 15-Apr-13 22:01:15

Well thank heavens there's one still to come - I'm no further forward!! confused

annodomini Mon 15-Apr-13 17:48:51

I think this is the seventh episode out of eight.

Forzanonna Mon 15-Apr-13 17:32:30

this one is going down to the wire - is tonight the last one or is there another? I haven't a clue - could be anyone - except DT.

Ella46 Mon 15-Apr-13 17:18:40

Don't worry Lully we won't be any wiser after tonight grin

LullyDully Mon 15-Apr-13 17:16:42

Won't see this tonight as we are away, so will use catch up at the weekend.

So what's going to happen? all seems to hang on the children!!!!

Ella46 Wed 10-Apr-13 07:52:36

I must admit that I do like the part the policewoman plays, asking for more money to pay for the round of drinks, and being a bit tactless sometimes. I like her.

Oh no.....you don't think it was her do you? shock grin

We'll be lost Nellie! I hate it when something good ends.

Nelliemoser Tue 09-Apr-13 23:19:08

I have just watched the recording of last nights. I have not seen anything as good as this for years. What are we going to do when it ends!

Sel Tue 09-Apr-13 22:55:36

merlotgran I do exactly the same (and it often works) then nod sagely at the end, trying not to look too superior. I often add 'I should have been a detective' grin

Ana Tue 09-Apr-13 20:00:53

And what about the postman, who was dropped casually into the conversation at one point last night....?

merlotgran Tue 09-Apr-13 19:57:52

I've had my eye on the policewoman's husband since the beginning because I usually pick the 'person least likely to' and then hope my hunch develops. It could be anyone though. Even the bloke who committed suicide last week......Did he?

sunflowersuffolk Tue 09-Apr-13 19:36:42

Ella grin re your husband!

whenim64 Tue 09-Apr-13 10:57:48

Mishap is Susan/Pauline trying to drop a large hint by giving the son that skateboard?

Sel Tue 09-Apr-13 10:52:33

Oh flipping heck Ana, I was convinced I'd solved it. Have to admit to closing my eyes at the dog moment and I didn't hear a whimper so maybe, maybe you're right confused There should be a sweepstake.

Grannyeggs Tue 09-Apr-13 10:40:02

I wonder about the Policewoman's husband, he didn't want his son to talk to the David Tennant character, also what is on that hard drive that the boy wants to destroy?

Mishap Tue 09-Apr-13 10:35:09

The whole Susan Wright thing is weird - why did she give the skateboard to Tom, knowing that he was a policewoman's child and that the s**t would hit the fan?

I also wondered how the dog could be shot without making a helluva mess of the van - or even making a hole in it. Might raise a few eyebrows.

whenim64 Tue 09-Apr-13 10:28:37

I have started to suspect the mother! shut up when and keep watching! grin
