The Missing

It's very good. I think there are going to be lots of plot twists. Looking forward to next week.

It certainly looks promising

It does look good but not sure I'll still think so after another 7 episodes not sure my interest will stretch that far but I hope to be proved wrong.

Loved it

Loved it, too.

And me! I agree with Merlotgran, there will be twists along the way I feel.

So many good reports about the series and I missed it [well, the start of it]. I've been thinking recently that all the BBC4 Scandinavian series have made programme makers in this country go up a notch to compete.

Was the clue when the detective said the abductor it was usually someone the family knew? Is there a significant character who has not appeared yet? Time will tell. X

Something to do with a connection between the father (James Nesbitt) and his father-in-law, who must have been a judge (?)

There was a quiet reference to something that happened in the past concerning the father and his FIL which will obviously have some significance.

I always feel a bit uncomfortable watching programmes about child abduction abroad since the disappearance of Madeleine McCann but I was soon caught up in the drama and James Nesbitt's excellent acting.

I watched it on catch up yesterday and found it gripping.

It was very gripping but also quite distressing. I'm so intrigued though that I'll have to keep watching.

Where does the new husband fit in? He seem to already have a ready made son substitute. X

What a great actor James Nesbit is. If it encourages us to take more care of our kids then its worth all the angst. Lucky that lady in the second-hand hand shop wrote down who gave her the yellow scarf (bit unlikely, I thought) but who knows where the trail will lead. Like the dried-up retired detective. Shades of New Tricks without the humour, perhaps? Disturbing but thrilling.

Brilliant. Loved it, and especially James Nesbit. He is so convincing.

I love the twists and turns of a good drama series like this. Can't wait for the next episode.

I thought is was very good but everything James Nesbit does is worth watching he is in another new series soon but the name escapes me for the minute.
Is the new husband not the Police guy sent to help them with the initial investigation ?
7 weeks of good TV in the offering for a change.

Babylon?

Thanks Tegan thats the one.

I like James Nesbitt in some things - I saw a very violent thing he was in once but loved him as Munroe the neurosurgeon which is being shown again. I'm with A A Gill in the Sunday Times and indeed yesterdays Telegraph TV reviewer on The Missing - too harrowing for me I shan't watch any more.

A bit harrowing, but good drama.

'I know what you did, Emily, and I will prove it' - what's that all that about? And Ian the builder, the Ken Stott character, what's he up to and what's his connection with the acused? I'm lost at the moment, but its gripping stuff.

Why have they made a drama based on the Madeleine McCann case? They couldn't have made it more obvious.

Must be hard for the McCanns if they see it.

I'm more than a little uneasy about that as well, jing. The parents even look a bit like Kate and Gerry McCann.
