Did anyone see this , I've just watched it on i player ? My word, it was tense. Beautifully filmed in Amsterdam with the wonderful Julien Baptiste back in action .

I think we have to assume that the guy with the chopper also got the message that the whole operation was off and went on his merry way.

After watching the last Baptiste episode last night, what was that all about in Genevieve's flat?
We saw a chap go in, knock over an ornament, replace it, and he had a chopper in his hand. Thought he was going to seriously hurt her.
She comes home, notices the moved ornament, goes searching, finds nothing, then is on her phone.
No explanantions.
Did I fall asleep?
Help!

Did anyone see Tom Hollander in the Comic Relief Mamma Mia? I knew the man had a sense of humour. Makes up for the lack of height. (I nearly put inches but I knew that would be misconstrued!)

And a million euros seems to take up very little space in a holdall.

So many twists and turns I'm hoping it's exercising my brain! I'm not usually into this type of thing but finding it compelling to watch.

I've given up!! Bit annoyed as enjoyed "The Missing" but it was getting hard work. Maybe it's an age thing but I felt I was struggling to remember what had happened previously. I might have been influenced by the fact I have just been catching up with Line of Duty on the i-player! Now that's what I call drama. Got absolutely hooked on it and looking forward to the new series starting soon.

The body count is getting a bit out of hand it seems to me.

Ooh, has a second series been commissioned Maggiemaybe or are you just hoping there is? Really enjoying this though perhaps that’s not the right word with all the gore. Really like Baptiste, he seems much too nice to be involved in all the shenanigans. Really cannot understand all the interest in Mr Stratton, there must be a lot of umper lumpers around.

We shall soon know

It was very quick Jalima . They were drinking coffee, son had to leave, Baptiste picked up both cups, bagged them and went for DNA test.

Jalima1108 Tue 19-Mar-19 15:29:04

I missed the DNA test trisher

The unusual eyebrows are obviously inherited from granny or grandad then!

TerriBull Tue 19-Mar-19 09:44:46

The young good looking actor who plays Baptiste's newly acquired son, seemed vaguely familiar, on Googling him it seems he was also in "Killing Eve" one of Villanelle's lovers, early on, and he was also in the last "Salamander". I knew I'd seen him before.

trisher Tue 19-Mar-19 09:13:42

*Jalima1108 *Baptiste had a DNA test-it is his son! (empty coffee cups!)

I think Martha's doing it to keep the son safe, or it could be a mistake she made after a drop too much.

At least the attractive Constantine is dead. He had few social graces, I felt. The one who worries me now is the bald one with the sharp chainsaw!

Maggiemaybe Mon 18-Mar-19 23:13:02

I’m just hanging on to see if there’s going to be any sort of proper ending to all this. At least there aren’t any more family members left for poor old Edward to be the death of. Baptiste’s lot will probably live on to series 2, despite the fact that anyone wanting to get them just has to follow Baptiste on one of his regular visits to their secret safe house.

BlueBelle Mon 18-Mar-19 17:57:11

I m finding this very complicated I keep having to work out who is who Like Gonegirl I m hanging in there because I like Baptist and want to make sure he’s ok

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Mar-19 17:32:01

He looks nothing like either parent - but then he could take after his old Granny or Grandad I suppose.

Gonegirl Mon 18-Mar-19 17:21:01

Oh I like his (newly discovered) son. I hope he's not a baddie.

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Mar-19 17:08:32

You're getting the lingo Gonegirl!

I'm not sure if it's her, could be her son if she passes on too much information to him.

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Mar-19 17:07:22

Constantin was the baddie with the dark hair and beard - Baptiste met him in a restaurant and blackmailed him into helping them.

I don't trust Martha's son (also supposedly Baptiste's son, but she could be lying).

Gonegirl Mon 18-Mar-19 17:05:52

I think that's the right expression.

Gonegirl Mon 18-Mar-19 17:05:26

And is it the senior police woman at the station (the one who B used to be with) that grassed them up?

Gonegirl Mon 18-Mar-19 17:03:10

Ah! "Who threw him! Yes. That one.

Gonegirl Mon 18-Mar-19 17:01:56

Who is Constantine? (I have completely lost it. Only still watching cos I love Baptiste and Tom Hollander. And I want Baptiste to win and Tom H to be alright)

Jalima1108 Mon 18-Mar-19 16:57:30

Why don’t they just give the money back to Constantine?
See trisher's spoiler!

Who threw Constantine?
I don't know, but he won't be getting the money now!

The other Tom is too short for my taste.
He'd suit me, I always wear flatties anyway.
