The Nest

I wondered about that Calendargirl but wondered if procedures abroad are not as thorough. I then wondered the only proof they have that there was an implant is dodgy, what if Kaya wakes up and says it never happened?

Managed to find the house on Google, it's beautiful. Would love to waken up to that view every day. Just stunning.

Looks like a midge infested location at that time of year.

OMG this is so good. So many unexpected twists and turns. Impossible to tell what will happen next. Can't wait for tomorrow night.

Well that was a twist I wasn't expecting! That poor little mite - and who would want that weird woman as it's granny? (Shirley Henderson has always given me the creeps, I think it's that horrible voice).

What a gripping drama. Great cast, acting, dialogue, twists a turns plus beautiful scenery.
I’m shouting at the tv for someone to get safeguarding in there quickly.

Would you want to go Moaning Mildred as a granny?. She is weird,

I hope we get the full story of the first murder, poor girl, everyone she trusts let's her down. I can't see MM coming good.

That baby is beautiful (or babies) I gather it's twins.

I thought it was quite ugly.

Kircubbin, that’s an unkind comment and unnecessary about a baby.
I am enjoying the story and the acting is excellent.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all pans out tonight. I did struggle a bit with the dialogue last night .

kircubbin2000 - what do you mean?

The Nest was a classy, gripping storyline with fabulous actors.
No weak characters and I found my loyalties shifting to different characters as the story progressed.
The tension built throughout the last episode and I had no idea how it would all end. I won’t give away the ending to spoil it for anyone yet to see it.

Brilliant

I so enjoyed this series, I had empathy for all involved, which is a testament to the story and the excellent acting
I feel there is room for a second series here
Oh and I don't think any babies are ugly

I was disappointed by the ending. Too many questions left hanging....

I loved the scene with the two mothers, Emily and Kaya. Emily's kindness and unselfishness set off the cascade of events that led to the happy ending.

Only watched last episode last night. If the baby isn’t Dan and Emily’s, wouldn’t it have been picked up when they implanted their egg that she was already pregnant, even if not very far on?

You'd have thought so. I'm still not sure whose baby she is, and how she isn't Kaya's. I know that none of it was particularly believable, but that was a step too far, surely?

Particularly with social workers and the police involved - someone would be checking for abuse, wouldn't they? Or did I miss something? We aren't supposed to just believe that because the clinic was 'foreign', they would mix the eggs up? Or was the David Hayton character involved? He seemed like a malign presence throughout.

I hope there won't be a series 2, in the manner of Liar.

Well I enjoyed that, what a pretty girl Kaya is
What’s that awful mother been in I recognise her voice but can’t imagine what it was

The mother was in Happy Valley Blue

Ahh thank you I must look it up as I did watch Happy Vally

I think the awful mum was also in a Marple episode.

Well, I was underwhelmed by the final episode, although all the acting has been great.

So was the baby a mix up, what happened with Dan’s business, was that a smaller house they were living in at the end, what happened to the iffy social worker’s child, did the sister and husband get back together?

Looks ready for another series?

Yes, there were too many loose ends. Good fun though.

I reckon the egg issue was a mix-up at the Clinic - wrong egg, or an admin error and the egg was, in fact, Dan's, so Dan's baby after all.

They were in a different house at the end, but does that mean that Dan's business went under? Maybe not. If he'd laundered money to start the business, there'd be an investigation into that, and that would take time. The baby was still quite young when we saw her at the end.

I assume the sister's partner left; could it have been her house they were shown in?

Other things I didn't get:

- was Dan's wife working or not? She seemed to drift about aimlessly a lot.

- what was David Hayman's role? Promising character, but didn't amount to much.

I enjoyed Martin Compton in this - nice to hear his Scottish accent rather than the SE one he adopts for Line of Duty.

I think there’ll be a second series too, to get to the bottom of all the unanswered questions. I enjoyed this one, so I’ll certainly be watching.

That’s an interesting theory, oldgimmer, that the embryo might have been Dan’s. I presume the result of the DNA test sent to each person would just show their own relationship to the baby or lack of it? He did seem to bond very quickly. Mind you, she was adorable.

The awful mum was Moaning Mildred in Harry Potter, if you saw the films. Murdered in the girl's loos and destined to haunt them for ever. She is just right for character parts.
