It’s just started and I’m liking it straightaway! Stellar cast. Imelda Staunton (love her). Francesca Anuns.

The series follows three adult siblings – Helen, Jake and Natalie – whose lives are thrown into disarray when their recently widowed mum Vivien declares she’s fallen for a new man, retired GP Mark.

As Vivien nears her 70th birthday, her children grow suspicious when Mark begins to shift her priorities away from her family.

Gorgeous location see the photo!

Me too didn’t quite get that, but I still think Dr Mark is a victim.....
oh er, Jake is a naughty boy

I was confused by the end too.

Who hit whom at the end? At first it looked as if Jake was on the floor with a flash of the dark hair of the perpetrator.
Then the other way round
confused

Storynanny the sacked woman was following the daughter on social media ( the daughter kept taking photos) and posted there. It's easy to find and stalk people online....

I still think Mark is one of the victims, rather than the villain; it's just too obvious to have him killing Vivien (which is what we would think as he seems to have killed his first wife). My money is on Mary being the villain.

Callistemon Wed 26-Feb-20 22:21:11

I too think Mary is making a quilt from the children's old clothes.

I laughed when Mark was busy hammering a fence post to keep Mary out and she brightly said 'don't worry about me, I can go round the front way'

I shall be so disappointed if it's Mark. Let's have a twist to the tale !
Think Mary is stitching a quilt made from pieces of the children's old clothing,don't think she is evil just lonely with a replacement family.

Urmstongran Wed 26-Feb-20 22:14:26

Plus, Vivien is having doubts.... ‘Mark - do you have a photograph of your daughter?’
?
Realising she’s losing the closeness with her adult children and having doubts about selling that lovely house....

Definitely Mark the retired medic. Packing pills in the suitcase for their trip to India. First wife took her own life but friend shouted out at the Coroner’s Court that she wasn’t depressed.

Open & shut case.

But there’s the party and denouement tomorrow night and what on earth is Mary stitching from remnants of Vivien’s clothes? She’s going to wear it to the party?

BlueBelle Wed 26-Feb-20 22:00:27

Well any clearer ?

Tonight’s episode;

“I’ve dated several women over the last five years”

Really? They must have been desperate.

Calandergirl I thought that as well I think it's a bit drawn out like a lot of these 4night series

BlueBelle Wed 26-Feb-20 19:02:08

Yes I do eazybee a big old Victorian house which it worth very little on the market now with four attic rooms and lots of my kids and grandkids still ‘stuff’ in it

Callistemon Wed 26-Feb-20 18:56:02

That's why younger daughter wants it and did them all in.
Except Mary who will be nanny/childminder

suziewoozie Wed 26-Feb-20 18:54:47

I’m now watching this as it’s become ‘it’s so awful, its funny’. I’m with Team Mary. I hope there’s another sex therapy session. And isn’t the house lovely?

tanith Wed 26-Feb-20 18:49:26

I only know Urmstongran because I have family living there and had occasion to look at what was required ?

Urmstongran Wed 26-Feb-20 18:37:40

Loving the detail tanith.
?
That would spoil a good story though!

Callistemon Wed 26-Feb-20 17:25:49

soop grin
Now, that would make a story!

HurdyGurdy perhaps there are more body bags to bring out. Perhaps younger daughter and Mary are the only ones left.

The younger daughter and Mary cooked it all up between them because the younger daughter's lover stayed with his wife, she had no job, no home and wanted a nice house where she can bring up her baby with useful next door neighbour happy to be nanny.
All three lived happily ever after
The end.

Callistemon Wed 26-Feb-20 17:19:42

I think some do eazybee

eazybee Wed 26-Feb-20 17:05:05

Completely irrelevant, but do people have houses with three bedrooms belonging to adult children, long left home, full of their stuff? (or perhaps it's all in the attic?)

soop Wed 26-Feb-20 17:01:10

suziewoozie As I said, I'm a slow learner. grin

soop Wed 26-Feb-20 17:00:28

I shall return tomorrow for more debating on who's who, who did what and why. wink

suziewoozie Wed 26-Feb-20 16:59:12

soop she’s nearly 70 ?

soop Wed 26-Feb-20 16:56:51

jolbrook I am such an innocent. I thought that they were contraceptive pills. Mind you...
