Was looking forward to this. Don’t know if it was just me, but found it confusing. Spent most of the episode working out who was who, who was with who, and what was going on really. The awful fire, all the smoke and flames, I couldn’t tell who was trapped and who was doing the rescuing. Twist at the end of course.

Yes her name is Jess

Tangerine Sat 11-Jan-20 20:31:36

Yes, Mumofmadboys, she was having an affair with Tom or, at the very least, slept with him once.

mumofmadboys Sat 11-Jan-20 20:24:40

So the girl with infertility problems ( sorry can't remember her name) has been having an affair with Tom, the GP? Is that right? A flashback seemed to show that.

Though I saw a wheelchair after the dance, but I wasn't sure about the beach. I wondered if the car crash was something to do with it.

Ohh missed her being disabled suzie I remember one falling over and kate getting cross with Carol but missed the crutches just goes to show I m defo getting old

Bluebelle she was carried down to the beach and one of the adults had her crutches. She was the one who fell over and why MIL was so angry she’d been left unattended.

BlueBelle Sat 11-Jan-20 19:35:40

Tom and Kate had three girls grannyticktick all dead, Emily, Iris and Charlotte

grannyticktock Sat 11-Jan-20 19:31:32

I thought we saw all four - David Tennant (Tom) with wife and two girls - walking back from the hooley with the dancing etc. So the third girl who was killed, did she belong to the other couple?

I was too distracted by all the sideways glances that seemed to be going in the beach scene to notice BlueBell.

BlueBelle Sat 11-Jan-20 19:15:51

Ahh I remember I thought it was just a youngster in a pushchair didn’t realise it was a wheelchair Did they have a wheelchair when they were all skipping to the beach ???
Maybe she got injured in the car crash ? What do you think ?

tanith Sat 11-Jan-20 19:00:09

When they left the dance one of the sisters was pushing her in the wheelchair.

BlueBelle Sat 11-Jan-20 18:57:43

Oh I missed her being disabled Suzie where did that come into it

suziewoozie Sat 11-Jan-20 18:54:27

There’s also the issue of Charlotte’s birth - she’s disabled - that’s probably connected to the comments saying Kate had a hard time after the birth - gosh there’s a lot going on isn’t there?

I enjoyed it. Although “enjoy” is maybe not the best word to use as I found the fire scene quite upsetting.

I found the flashbacks a bit confusing but then I always find flashbacks confusing! I did think there were too many men with beards which made it difficult at first to work out who was who.

I’ll definitely be watching again though.

Maggiemaybe Sat 11-Jan-20 18:50:24

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am really looking forward to seeing more. And it's only four episodes, instead of the usual six or eight, which is a big plus in my book.

trisher Sat 11-Jan-20 18:42:09

Well I liked it. The mum being unstable is a red herring I think. The policeman was only looking at videos and found her buying the padlock- not really doing the investigating. I think the Headteacher was up to something with the wife. But I'm hooked.

suziewoozie Sat 11-Jan-20 18:33:26

I missed that ?

BlueBelle Sat 11-Jan-20 18:29:34

Well they flashed on to the autopsy before we saw the fire and knew they were dead Suziewoozie

suziewoozie Sat 11-Jan-20 18:10:57

What flash forwards Blue?

Barmey she is injecting herself because she’s undergoing fertility treatment and is having embryos transplanted next week.

Ilovecheese Sat 11-Jan-20 18:09:15

Not diabetic, undergoing IVF

Barmeyoldbat Sat 11-Jan-20 17:26:12

Thanks Bluebelle its a bit clearer. I think it was the other woman who did it she keeps injecting herself, is she diabetic I wonder. Will keep watching it.

Greyduster Sat 11-Jan-20 16:42:49

I agree. One of us will often say, when a well known actor is bumped off in the first scene, having uttered about five lines “that means flashbacks”.☹️

BlueBelle Sat 11-Jan-20 16:41:03

I think what is confusing in this one is there s not only flash back but flash forwards involving things that haven’t happened yet !
