ITV - Flesh & Blood

tanith you are so right plus you must give evidence that you spent the night before or after the wedding in Gibraltar. ( apparently Viagra pills fortunately are not compulsory ?). I get annoyed when really important basic facts like this are ignored.

It was the last episode of the David Tennant one where it all fell apart. We were all on tenterhooks, but talk about a damp squib!

You missed nothing.

In the scheme of things trivia I know but I believe if you are a widow/widower you have to present the original death certificate of the spouse and if divorced the marriage cert and decree absolute to marry in Gibraltar also birth certificates and passport. The doc must of planned well to find all of those and then still convince her the wedding was her idea. ?

Oh I thought the person in hospital was the same as the body bag just a different day/week
I think the dr is in the body bag so if there’s two could the person in hospital be the mum
Were they both targeted
I like it when it’s all in one week not enough time for me to forget the plot ?

Mark wouldn’t get all her money if there were no will and she died ( and vice versa) it’s upto a certain amount and then shared with remaining spouse and children.

And another thing . . . . .LOL

The police have only been shown interviewing Mary, and the youngest daughter, Natalie. Not anyone else.

Is THAT significant? Did they interview anyone else in the family, but only Natalie is being shown?

Agree with you Curly that Mary pinched the Viagra to spoil Mark’s holiday expectations. She didn’t take them herself, was just curious about them having read up on them.

I didn’t watch the David Tennant drama Calendargirl but this one is now halfway through and is still enjoyable!

We are all getting very involved with this, but I have a horrible feeling it will turn out a dead duck like the David Tennant one.
Hope I’m mistaken.

Doesn’t re-marriage invalidate a will? Is that why you have to make a new one pronto? So if she died , he would be her next-of-kin, along with her children?
As you can tell, no experience of this, thank goodness!

Hm, think I have got something wrong - the person in the bodybag was obviously dead; there appears to be another person in hospital (I was thinking they were one and the same). So.... the person in hospital can't be a member of the family, because the daughter showed no reaction when the police said there had been news; so maybe that is Mark (or could it be the woman from the NHS that was fired and was stalking George?).
The tablets were Viagra, Mary pinched them, as she was trying to sabotage Mark and Vivienne's holiday. I don't think Mary took the Viagra, as she was reading the leaflet that came with them. Still think Mary is the villain, but..... is that too obvious????

I've watched the first two episodes, and thoroughly enjoying.

I love a mystery/thriller, with several twists and turns, and this series definitely fits the bill!

With 'Last Tango' being shown weekly, and several dramas scheduled for the coming weeks, TV is definitely looking up!

When Vivien's children heard the news that she'd married Mark they were horrified that he would now get all her money if anything happened to her.

Not if she doesn't change her will in Mark's favour, surely?

Has she done that yet?

Calendargirl I think not.

Does his daughter even exist, let alone being a doctor?

Is it Mark in the body bag? Did Mary do the deed?

What are those pills?

Just had a thought.

Was it too coincidental for Mark’s daughter to be on 48 hour on call due to a train crash? He probably just pretended his daughter was calling. He wanted Vivienne to be near Gibraltar.

Surely Vivienne could have checked the local news on her iPhone!

Sorry to be picky, but I think Apple Tree Yard was done by the BBC.

Ooh Calli I never thought of that twist! Maybe Vivienne (FA) went on line to find herself a rich man.

But then, she was already wealthy, so would she really want to plot in this way just to become richer?

I hadn’t thought about the villain maybe being the widow , that would be a good plot twist.
How did sacked woman get young daughters number to send that photo from the pub?

Yes sew I did mean FA.

I’ve just watched part 2. The car being set on fire ... the new husband after he left the beach to cook the steaks?? Mary?? I don’t think it’s the hospital admin lady who was made redundant. On the other hand ....

Really looking forward to tonight’s episode!

I did wonder if Mark had set up a false online persona.

Anyway, being an orthopaedic surgeon doesn't guarantee wealth if he was a gambler or lost everything he owned in some other dealings.

I don't think that Vivienne is a black widow, she seems too guileless.

Do you mean Francesca Annis? I was fascinated with the first instalment and had to watch when it was shown again an hour later . Continuing to do the same for the following episodes .ITV excel themselves and I have a recording of another ITV 'must watch again' this being Apple Tree Yard. You can't beat ITV when it comes to a family drama.

Oooh, I've just thought - was Mark an paediatric orthopaedic doctor? Because Mary next door lost a baby/child. I wonder if she was involved in some way with the child's death?

I'm also wondering if Vivienne is a "black widow" and in fact, she's the one after Marks' money?

Can't wait for tonight's episode!
