The Fall

Ana I look more like her mother these days, than her twin!

Well perhaps not easily.

Isn't it the fact that this could so easily happen what makes it so disturbing, like Missing . These two dramas portray my worst fears.

Oh dear, forget that, Lona - not only did I misinterpret your post but I missed the end off 'twins'...

You could be twin!

"on what I find disturbing" would have been better!

Actually, I was the first to respond to the op, and I had the same opinion then as Ella46

Yes Eloethan I know what you mean, it's difficult to put my finger on what is disturbing.

I agree that it has been shown too long after the first series - well, for me at least because I couldn't remember exactly what had happened before.

There's something about this series that, apart from the usual violence against women, makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't think I'll watch it again.

I agree Lona, it was a bit slow last night. I think it was more of a scene-setting episode.

I found Gillian Anderson even more irritating than I'd remembered! I was shouting 'Speak up, woman!' at the tv...

I watched the first series and although I found it v dark, I continued, hoping for a swift resolution- only 5 episodes if I remember correctly. I vowed not to watch the second series as I kept imagining my daughter being watched in her house where she doesn't close the curtains!!!

It all seemed a bit slow to me

Then I tried to watch Babylon! Is it supposed to be so funny/stupid? Bad language doesn't make it a good series.

I watched only so much then scarpered off to bed!

Ooops... sorry about that double post. The first attempt had seemed lost.

I've just watched tonight's episode, the first of series 2.
Paul returned to Belfast.
He arrived by ferry from Scotland into the port of Larne.
He boarded the train at Larne Harboour, stopping at Larne town, Magheramourne, Ballycarry, etc.
In the first scene in the train, the train is travelling in the wrong direction, it is travelling towards Larne from the Belfast direction.
In the remaining train scenes the train is travelling in the correct direction towards Belfast.

In tonight's episode, first of the second series, Paul comes back to Belfast. He arrives off the ferry from Scotland into the port of Larne.
He boards the train for Belfast at Larne harbour, stopping at Larne town, Magheramourne, Ballycarry.......etc
However, in the first scene in the train, the train is going in the wrong direction I.e. it is traveling towards Larne. In the remaining scenes in the train, it is travelling in the correct direction towards Belfast.

Never watched it before,decided to give it a try tonight but I'm afraid that I found Neil Diamond more attractive on the other channel.

I've just watched the second episode of the last series. I'm all behind. Will I ever catch up?

It seemed to need a level of concentration tonight which my brain was unable to give it. I think it should have been shown quite soon after it finished in the summer - 5 months is far too long to try and remember who is who ! I shall watch it next week though !

You're right there, merlot!

"Oh yes, you do look very like that suspect in the paper, yes I live alone, I'm not really blonde and here's my driver's licence (with my address on it) to prove it..."

Still gripping. Still scary but I had problems remembering who is/was who.

The woman on the train.....daft or what?

The only problem with Broadchurch was that I didn't want to do anything till I'd watched it and one day the S.O. went home and I watched another episode and had to wait till he'd then caught up before I could see the rest [although we did watch it over just a few days]. I couldn't just watch it myself as I bought it for him as a birthday present.

I think I'll do that too, Tegan, - hadn't managed to watch the first episode by the time last night's was on so I'd always be trying to play catch-up. Plus the no-adverts bonus!

I missed the first one and watched the second (of The Returned) last night, but I found it very strange and switched over.

I'm going to watch both episodes of The Returned on Catch-up. I made the mistake of going to make a cup of tea at the beginning of last night's episode and lost the thread completely .

I'm going to get The Returned on dvd; it was much better watching Broadchurch without adverts and it's hard enough concentrating on subtitles withou tadverts every few minutes. Barbara Ellen in the Observer was very scathing of The Fall saying that it's only in soaps that people just up and move away.
