I remember being unsure at the end of the first series, and I am already slightly confused following tonight's episode. However, I was really looking forward to it, so I hope I shall be able to keep up. I need subtitles to help me!
What did others think of it so far?

Oh hell.

I can't even remember a ruddy postman confused.

Now I am thinking, did the policewoman's son do it and his dad is covering for him hmm

Ana Sat 14-Feb-15 22:49:51

Whose dad? [confusing]

Ana Sat 14-Feb-15 22:50:21

confused even!

merlotgran Sat 14-Feb-15 22:50:42

That's my theory as well, POGS.

Ana Sat 14-Feb-15 22:55:54

So, Ellie's husband's innocent but her son's the murderer?

Poor woman - she's going to need some serious counselling if that's the case sad

Ana

The son of the policewoman, his dad is charged with his friends murder!

I wish I knew their flipping names.! smile

POGS Sat 14-Feb-15 22:56:54

Ana

Yes that one.

Mishap Sat 14-Feb-15 23:01:52

An interesting theory! That might account for the son's determination to go in the witness box to try and get his Dad off the hook.

POGS Sat 14-Feb-15 23:15:42

Precisely Moriati. grin

Oh No - poor Ellie if the gransnet detectives are right

rosesarered Sun 15-Feb-15 19:39:13

I'm pretty sure that is not the answer!

Tegan Sun 15-Feb-15 19:53:59

He'd look far more stressed if it was him [unless he didn't actually know he'd done it]. We can, at least eliminate Ellie, Alex, Fred and the dog I think confused.

Ana Sun 15-Feb-15 20:23:43

And probably the postman...(although you never know!)

rosequartz Sun 15-Feb-15 22:24:51

The son knows a lot more than he is letting on - why was he deleting stuff off his computer in the first series?
What happened to the boyfriend of Danny's sister? Or was he the postman?

confused now

Ana Sun 15-Feb-15 22:33:14

The trouble is, we were led to believe it was all done and dusted at the end of the first series, so a lot of niggly loose ends were written off in my mind as 'just red herrings'.

It's quite hard work now trying to remember who/what/why unless of course you can be bothered to watch the whole of series one again! grin

merlotgran Sun 15-Feb-15 22:36:03

I can't remember what happened to Pauline Quirke's dog. confused

rosequartz Sun 15-Feb-15 22:47:58

The second series is just starting in Australia.
A young relative just posted that she hopes it will be as good as the first! hmm

rosequartz Sun 15-Feb-15 22:49:04

The dog is the key to the whole thing ...

Ana Sun 15-Feb-15 23:01:49

The dog's still here - he was the first one to go into the caravan when Pauline Quirke came back and found Ellie's son in there...don't you remember? grin

Tegan Sun 15-Feb-15 23:09:30

Cause Tom was relieved when the dog went into the caravan assuming that it was he who was turning the door handle confused....

Ana Sun 15-Feb-15 23:15:18

Exactly! grin

merlotgran Sun 15-Feb-15 23:39:15

Oh well.....Another example of memory loss. hmm

Tegan Sun 15-Feb-15 23:41:33

You're just NOT concentrating hard enough....

rosequartz Mon 16-Feb-15 19:36:07

Tonight
Tonight

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 19:48:35

Not the last one though!
