Did anyone watch last nights programme? I really enjoyed the last series and love Idris Elba but somehow it wasn't as good. It seemed to have every crime show cliché possible. Perhaps it was me I was tired and a bit grumpy.

I was left completely baffled - usually manage to follow these things, but not this time.

I only watched the first 10 mins of last nights episode just couldn't get into it at all and very depressing imo,although I could watch Idris Elba all day long he is so attractive and compelling viewing usually.

Can anyone tell me why the murderer chose those people as hi victims and why he ate some of their parts? In fact can anyone tell me what was going on at all please?

He had hacked into a lot of people's lives via their Skype cameras, which is why I always keep mine disconnected and facing away from the me on the desk. I don't know why he picked out those particulr individuals, but he wanted to be like them, to have their lives. So he ate bits of them. Reminded me of a poem by Walter de la Mare. "Its a very odd thing, As odd can be, That whatever Miss T eats, Turns into Miss T."

I must admit I kept nodding off last night. Was he and his dead girlfriend really into selling illegally obtained diamonds and planning to retire to somewhere hot?

I missed the bit where the bad man managed to disconnect himself from the radiator. I saw him pull the whole thing away from the wall, but then I was gone again. Next time I saw him he was in a car. Without the radiator I presume.

I gave up and watched the making of Dad's Army instead.

I thought the "Dad's Army" play was very good - it made me feel quite nostalgic (for the days when Dad's Army was on, not for the war). Not many of those actors left now.

I like to look at Idris but I do wish he would stop mumbling and speak up. I couldn't be bothered with the story line and also watched Dad's' Army. From the sublime to the ridiculous indeed.
