ITV - Flesh & Blood

I would have prefered it to have ended there and then. We are still speculating and will have forgotten all about it next year.

I did think it was funny when Mary took Jake's hand like a little boy.
So they are all now back to normal, all partners gone with Mary in charge.

Well I just looked up a review (written After first/ second part) and it said is Mark going to be the murderer of the body we saw at the beginning of the programme

So there was a body and we have no answers to that Who is it ?

(And Marks Northern Irish so I ve answered my own question dah)

I didn’t catch anything about Tramadol I thought it was Valium and thought he may have taken them himself in trepidation of the family gathering and what could go wrong
(If he is a genuine bloke) Well if there is another series and if he does recover he knows Mary did it as his eyes were on her
There is a lot of family stuff held in abeyance babies and marriages and new characters (daughter)
What accent is mark using I thought it was a cross between Irish and American ? Or is that the actors’ actual accent ?

Still puzzled about the body bag did we dream that up ?

Did the police not interview Viv? I know she’d collapsed, but still expected them to speak to her when she recovered.
Definitely another series on the cards I think. Too many loose ends.
The torched car.
The daughter coming who he is very close to.
Helen’s job, plus her split from George.
Natalie’s probable pregnancy.
Jake’s tangled love life. (Was Leila at the lunch at the end or was it just his children?)
And of course the opened eyes at the end! Creepy Mark is not finished with yet. Watch out Mary!
Yep, watch this space next year.

I forgot he opened his eyes at the end!

The toxicology showed alcohol and diazepam (Valium) in his blood. I don’t recall Tramadol. But whatever, maybe Mary put diazepam in Mark’s drink?

Was the red car that was set on fire just a red herring then?

Maybe another series is on the cards. Is Vivien is still waiting for news from the hospital? I missed the bit about Mark’s daughter momb!

Oooh, I've just had a thought! Viv found the vials of medication in Marks case and I think she secretly knew about his shady past from quite early in and suspected he was up to no good. So, Viv actually spiked Marks drinks with the Tramodol as a way of stopping him bumping her off first! There you go.......... nailed it! Lol

Yes maddyone, very creepy! I was puzzled about the Tramodol in his bloodstream, did Mary spike his drinks? And when he opened his eyes ? at the end!!!!! There has to be another series.

Odd the comment at the end about Mark's daughter had just arrived and someone said they were very close

Definitely going to be another series.
Mark was a bit creepy though wasn’t he, not at all my cup of tea.
We both thought Mary had to have something to do with it.

I was deflated by the ending. I had guessed Mary had something to do with it. Mark was too obvious.

Great ending I wasn't expecting that !! Surely there will be another series, can't leave us hanging like that , I thought Mary was odd all the way , now she's got her feet back under Viv,s table , or so she thinks ,

I was wondering about the body bag too .?
I loved it and I hope there is a series 2
I like it being on consecutive nights I don’t have time to forget it
Good four nights entertainment

I like David Bamber, perhaps I prefer quirky men!

Oh Merlotgran Mary spiking Mark's drink!! Now there's a thought. I did wonder what the significance was of Mary handling the bottle of tablets - either she was drugging Viv, or spiking Mark's drink - hmm, not all the ends have been tied, have they?!!!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this!
And the banter with you all.
?

No to a 2nd series though. That was just right!

Definitely AuntieFlo the Specsaver vet. Well spotted. Paid his mortgage nicely I expect in the interim!

Oh thank you for putting me out of my misery Calendargirl! The detective was the creep in P&P. Of course.

Now I can’t remember his name ....
?
I drive ‘Himself’ nuts!

Auntieflo

Yes, I thought George was the Specsaver vet!

Mary might have spiked Mark's drinks to make him really drunk.

Yes, the body bag puzzled me too - I thought there were two victims, one in body bag (dead) and one still alive in hospital. But it looks like it was just Mike all along. Brilliant ending, especially when he opened his eyes! I've really enjoyed this programme, it had an end I understood!

X posts Calendargirl.

Pride not Prude, but maybe prude is better!

Urmston I think he, the detective, David Bamber, has been in things like Grantchester.
I was also wondering whether George, Helen's husband, was the short sighted vet in the Specsaver advert, when trying to revive a furry hat?
He looks like him.

Jaffa I still think Mark was giving her drugs to lower her BP and then she would faint.

I was a bit deflated by the ending- I thought it would have been more cut and dried.

Didn't Mary have pills in the kitchen? I think she was drugging Viv.
