If you are watching Missing what do you think of it . it's complicated isn't it? stories within stories and changing countries and changing years I m really having to keep on my toes to follow it I am enjoying it though One criticism is I wish the wife and girlfriend looked less alike I have to keep translate which is which it is getting better now I m more familiar with the story line but the first couple of episodes foxed me

Sophie is French Welshwife but Sophie's mother was English, hence she speaks fluent English.

Lillie Thu 24-Nov-16 17:11:46

But where was Sophie kidnapped from? I thought she lived in Paris??

Jalima Thu 24-Nov-16 17:12:38

I think that was a previous series (which I didn't see).

Rinouchka, Derek Riddell who plays Gettrick is 49. He looks young for 49.

I still think the perp is either Mark Rylance or his twin brother.

Yes, that Alice/Sophie definitely needs some lip balm.

Why did Lucy call Alice/Sophie 'mummy' when she arrived at the hut in the forest when surely the Sophie/Alice who crawled out of the cellar is her mother? And would a hut in the woods have a cellar anyway?

Jalima Thu 24-Nov-16 19:32:01

We don't know who is her mother, or do we?
Mummy and Lucy were together in the bedroom in his house and he then took Mummy to Switzerland and kept Lucy.
I think Alice may have been in another locked bedroom in the house at the same time.

I thought it was a cupboard in the corner of the room in the hut, not a cellar, she sort of came out from the depths of it.

The cellar was under his garage at his house in Germany (how did he dig that out?).

Too many questions.

Jalima Thu 24-Nov-16 19:35:02

I think Mark Rylance (English) is quite a bit older than Derek Riddell (Scottish)

BlueBelle Thu 24-Nov-16 19:37:16

Maybe Lucy has been brought up with both mothers and calls them both Mummy
I keep thinking I blinked when some things are mentioned on here
I hope Julian lives to see his results

Didn't Baptiste and Keeley Hawes find the locked cellar door under the mat by the kitchen door last night?

Welshwife Thu 24-Nov-16 19:49:04

By the way I thought they were three different actors playing the soldiers in Aghanistan in 1991.

gettingonabit Thu 24-Nov-16 20:31:32

Yes, they were different actors.

What's Mark Rylance got to do with anything? Did he sneak in from Wolf Hall while I wasn't looking? grin.

Alima Thu 24-Nov-16 21:07:58

That is puzzling me too gettingonabit. (Just tried to shorten that, didn't look good!). As far as I am concerned Mark Rylance is the voice of Fop in Bing. This is getting silly now.

Jalima Thu 24-Nov-16 22:32:05

Someone thinks that Derek Riddell looks like Mark Rylance, that was all!

Was the cellar in the kitchen? I thought it was in the garage - red herring alert! Sorry

I hope that waiter who fancies Sophie doesn't get any big ideas about following her home. shock

gretel Fri 25-Nov-16 09:16:49

Gettrick and Sophie talked together about Sophie impersonating Alice but I don't understand why Gettrick needs everyone to think Alice is dead. If he's about to get his army pension he could just have moved away from the area. Lots of German houses have cellars Jalima. The cellar was under the kitchen.

Jalima Fri 25-Nov-16 10:47:20

I must have blinked a couple of times.

I did wonder if he had a 'favourite', one at a time and kept the other two locked up.

But why didn't they try to escape when they were out at the fair together?
Unless he had Lucy
Or they were suffering from Stockholm syndrome by then, but Sophie doesn't look totally brainwashed; she is nervous.
Unless she is trying to be 'good' to avoid being swapped for Alice in the cupboard.

Greyduster Fri 25-Nov-16 17:12:44

Oh God, I'm so confused I wish someone would lock me in a cupboard!!

Jalima Fri 25-Nov-16 17:29:21

With a monkey with crashing cymbals?

Or just a nice cupcake and brew?

Greyduster Fri 25-Nov-16 18:22:59

More like ?????grin!

Welshwife Fri 25-Nov-16 18:38:17

Have you seen the trailer for next week's episode?

Jalima Fri 25-Nov-16 18:43:14

why can't I see these icons?

Is it wine Greyduster

I'd need a bottle of whisky before I would go in there.

Jalima Fri 25-Nov-16 18:43:39

Yes!

Greyduster Fri 25-Nov-16 19:02:05

I've read the synopsis in the mag; going to be a good 'un!

Maggiemaybe Fri 25-Nov-16 20:42:06

Radio Times, Greyduster? I've just had a sneaky peek as well. Roll on Wednesday!

Jalima Fri 25-Nov-16 20:42:45

Not looking, not looking, fingers over eyes!
