I am sure there must be many of your watching this - I am so enjoying it, once again Kay Mellor has come up with a fascinating story which involves so many other stories. When last night's episode had finished I wished I had the book (if there is one, although I think it is a written for t.v. play) I would have stayed up and read to the end. Lenny Henry is perfect and although I am quite sure all that he says about being able to crack codes, etc, on his new computer is total gobble-de-gook, be makes it sound believable. Looking forward to next week.

So, is that the end? confused

Alea Tue 07-Jul-15 22:06:18

As I said, not as dim as she looked grin

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 22:06:41

Yup.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 22:06:57

That's yer lot.

Ana Tue 07-Jul-15 22:07:48

Yes, that was the end. There won't be a sequel - good twist though!

Marelli Tue 07-Jul-15 22:11:29

confused! I can't remember Tyler being in it.....! I do think Lenny Henry was brilliant, though!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jul-15 22:20:13

So she's run off with Lennie Henry's money? Cos he paid the ransom money.

I don't think I followed it too well. hmm

Ana Tue 07-Jul-15 22:22:18

Yes, but it's all right because he's engaged to a tractor millionaire...I think...

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 22:28:59

And they are all going to live in Florida.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 22:29:29

On an alligator farm.

I sent DH out to put the chickens to bed, Anya as I didn't want to miss anything.

I loved the twist about the tractor heiress.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jul-15 22:37:37

Oh! That kind of "putting chickens in"! I thought Anya meant in the oven. I wondered why she was cooking more than one.

Anya Tue 07-Jul-15 22:39:40

I wouldn't cook Coco, Delphine, Violetta and Cous Cous shock

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jul-15 22:41:26

"Cous Cous"?! You can't call a chicken that!

merlotgran Tue 07-Jul-15 22:50:20

I have a chicken called Yolko....geddit?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jul-15 22:53:02

grin. That's very good.

How do you tell one chicken from another though?

Ana Tue 07-Jul-15 22:53:26

Oh no...grin

Anya Tue 07-Jul-15 23:05:00

Cous Cous is speckled, Coco is brown, Violetta is dark grey and Delphine is pale grey and bad tempered.

I geddit Merlot grin

Anya Tue 07-Jul-15 23:05:39

Shanghai Lil and Sheila died over the winter sad

Ana Tue 07-Jul-15 23:06:54

And nobody got my joke...hmm

Sorry about your lost chooks, Anya.

Anya Tue 07-Jul-15 23:08:41

Yolko Oh No!

That's terrible Ana wink

Thanks for your condolences.

merlotgran Tue 07-Jul-15 23:10:51

I thought the Syndicate was brilliant. Just loved the twist at the end!

Anya Wed 08-Jul-15 07:16:42

Incidentally who did shoot the awful boyfriend? And why?

Alea Wed 08-Jul-15 09:16:58

The odious Spencer, I assume. Amy said he "put something away in the locked cupboard " on his boat.
