Did anyone watch this? I only got half way through and had to turn it off. I didn't care what the story was. I didn't care about any of the characters. All I cared about was the poor baby who for the sake of filming seemed to be left to cry when it suited. I wanted his mum to pick him up and cuddle him. I wanted someone to take him away from all of them. I just couldn't stand it.

Ahh thanks Iam I was struggling with what she did just before the car crashed, makes sense now I also didn’t pick up on the floorboard bit (I m a rotten detective)
Thoroughly enjoyed it though and superb believable acting

I have to say I was a tad disappointed with ending. However thought the acting was very good and enjoy the whole drama, twists etc. She got home to be with her baby though which was lovely.

Thanks Iam64

Bellanonna - she unclipped his seat belt so that when the car crashed, he died.
Whether he deliberately overdosed Noah with medicine, or was so tired he got confused wasn't made clear. He intentionally allowed the mother to believe she'd been responsible for Noah's death.
Great drama and Jenna Coleman can act can't she.

What did she undo on or near his car seat before the accident? I’m a bit hazy about that bit. What was the medicine that he added to the feed? Mistakenly?

Loved the twist in the last episode.

After Noah “disappeared” there was a scene where Alistair was sitting in his car outside a building site.....

Jenna Coleman was superb in this I thought.

I thought so bella, can’t be sure though hmm.

merlotgran Sun 21-Oct-18 23:11:49

Loved all the twists and turns even though the flashbacks could be confusing.

Bellanonna Sun 21-Oct-18 23:09:10

So Noah was under the floorboards (was he?)

I think it’s an excellent drama, good acting, plot and dialogue.
Got used to the flipping about in time, so didn’t mind that, or the crying baby.

Agree merlot - beautiful!

I was sorry that I anticipated halfway through the episode what the twist was!

merlotgran Mon 15-Oct-18 09:52:21

Whenever they have a scene in the mother's house I find myself distracted by her lovely garden. grin

Good drama, quite a twist last night, although I did wonder why when we first saw her a Scottish court when the baby went missing/killed in Austrialia, it's beginning to make sense now. Looking forward to next Sunday.

Great TV on a Sunday night, well done the BBC can't wait for next weeks episode, so many twists and turns!!!

sodapop Mon 15-Oct-18 06:43:09

Yes I agree BlueBelle I was a bit unsure after the first episode but have have really engaged with the story now, what a manipulator Alastair was. Looking forward to the finale. It took me a while to get the image of Victoria out of my head, I enjoyed that series as well.

It’s a good storyline with a twist Jalima well worth watching
I think the acting is very good too

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 23:37:12

Oh, if it's sad I don't think I'll watch it.

Bellanonna Sun 14-Oct-18 23:32:24

Sadly it’s progressed from there Jalima.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 23:18:51

perhaps I should watch it with ear plugs

BlueBelle Sun 14-Oct-18 23:14:42

Ohh tonight was good what a twist at the end

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 23:04:48

Glad I'm not a young mother thinking of going to Australia though - what a nightmare for her and other passengers.
There was one on our flight coming back Brunette - a toddler rather than a baby.
I found myself gritting my teeth and muttering 'give her a dummy, give her a bottle, give her a cuddle, take her for a walk, whatever' as she was standing in the aisle just wailing miserably for what felt like hours. It then progressed to loud screams as we prepared to land.

I don't think I could stand it either trisher.

Bellanonna Sun 14-Oct-18 22:46:59

Not what we thought last week then!

merlotgran Sun 14-Oct-18 22:29:22

Wow!! Another cliffhanger.

Grandma2213 Mon 08-Oct-18 23:41:39

This is certainly a drama that makes you concentrate. The twist at the end was surprising and set off a whole new line of thought. There seem to be so many little unexplained clues eg the bruises on her arm, the bib, the bootee in the daughter's room and many of the comments. The ex wife seems too obvious and it is early in the series to have her accused. His mother seems over nice though hmmmm!! I can't wait for the next episode.
