The Missing

soop, I believe he's still alive, too. I was wondering about the relevance of the drawing of the figure in the frost on the window?

The dodgy journalist found out Tony had murdered Ian Garrett by hacking into Emily's phone so there's a case for blackmail I expect.

I believe that Ollie is still alive. I really wanted to see him back with his family. A fairy tale ending that wasn't to be.

I'll be watching, too. I wonder if the child had been drugged when he was put back in the boot of the car and his 'body' supposedly hidden. Still a few loose ends and the links to Russia made me think something bigger was going on - trafficking? It's annoying to be given a half-hearted ending, though.

It was miserable papaoscar, but gripping all the same. It was clear 30 minutes in that the series couldn't end and there will be a sequel. I'll be watching I expect.

Well, yes. That's very true. Was a bit much, to say the least, when the sad ending was closely followed by the real-life news.

What is it about this time of the year? "A vale of tears" is so often right.

Glad I didn't watch it. There's enough real misery in the world without adding to it.

I thought it was very sad that, in the end, Tony could not accept Ollie's death, and was back wandering the streets, still looking for him. Explained the title of the episode - "Till death".

I think to understand all of it, I would have to watch several episodes again. I hate the fact that the Beeb have done away with series catch-up.

I got the idea that the next series would be about a completely different case of a missing child. But would that allow for James Nesbitt to be in it?

I don't think the Garrett murder will be forgotten in the next series,he insisted he had not harmed the child but I think he was involved with disappearance of children.
The father has obviously not given up on his search as the trailer shows and looks to take him to many areas in Russia,keeping with the story line I wonder if the boy in the trailer recognised the drawing that Nesbitt showed to him when he was arrested.

Feeling let down. I wanted an ending it didn't have to be a happy ending
( obviously there was never going to be) but any plausible ending would have done. Is it just me or is a lack of good endings scarcer. What start off promising seem to fall flat. I've stopped watching the homecoming because it ran out of steam. I was dissapointed with the recent michael palin ending the other night. Fingers crossed for a good ending in the fall on Thursday. Me thinks somone is watching to much T.V and should ...get a life..do something useful...read a good book

As DH pointed out, if he'd gone out just to return a scarf to someone just down the road, got blind drunk, gone missing for about a day, come back stinking of booze (when he was on the wagon), blood on his clothes and upset - I might have noticed!

He pointed out stuff like that all the way through - most annoying he was - I don't think we'll watch the next series!

merlot

Didn't the Garrett murder get put to bed because the retired French detective found the dad's shirt when Garrett's body was found and he gave the blooded shirt back to the father , in other words I know you killed Garrett but the paedophile wasn't worth you being charged for his murder.

I thought that was concluded tonight, other than where the sons body was.

I thought thethe brief clip for another series looked as though it was going to be another story line, not a continuation of this one.

All I found confusing is 'Why did the journalist keep the token'.

The new series will no doubt be another series of flashbacks so just as confusing.

They left the Ian Garrett murder hanging in the air as well so I suppose that will crop up again.

Wasn't there a song called "There are more questions than answers".

Unbearable, I feel sick.

Glad I didn't stick with this. Knowing there may be another series makes me even more glad...

Can't take much more- unbearable.

Broadchurch starts again on 5th January!

Oh no please I couldn't bear another series about the same thing... no end it now please..

Whoops. Not The Missing. Remember Me.

Me too.

I just hope we get a conclusion or I might be tempted to throw something at the tele after The Missing.

Looking forward to the conclusion tonight. There's talk of a second series so maybe they'll be able to prove Ollie's alive but not know where he is?

Oh, I agree Marelli. Julien's definitely not too old. I'll have to take more notice of his wife's clothes.

Bring back Spirals! And why is Ripper Street now only available on some kind of download through Amazon?
