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

Post seems to have gone AWOL.
The Swiss town was actually Monschau in the Eifel region of Germany.... took me back to days of coffee and cakes and, especially at this time of year, waffles with hot cherries and cream!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is sceptical gettingonabit - and everyone else!
Perhaps the camera was found whilst he was on remand; I can't remember now.
I don't think that would be circumstantial, I think it would be deemed to be actual evidence.

Perhaps I should just take programmes at face value and enjoy them instead of pulling them to pieces.

I know there were some hard to believe bits, but generally I loved this series. I had to concentrate and watch properly, no being on computer at same time.

I was really glad that Alice and her brother reunited happily, finally. Sad that the Dad dies, but I expected someone would. I'll really miss it each week, hope something else good comes along soon.

seacliff probably not, we will get the Christmas rubbish entertainment now.

I haven't watched Rillington Place, can anyone better Richard Attenborough?

There is a new - I think three parter - starting next week on ITV called 'In Plain Sight' .

Oooh..Plain Sight has the bloke from Line of Duty in it! And the guy from Shetland!

jalima I agree with you now about the photo evidence on the camera being actual evidence PROVIDED there was proof that the Butcher actually took the photos. Was there? It was quite an old camera and I'm wondering whether such a camera would have been capable of recording times/dates etc?

Something else that's been bothering me is the lack of similarity between the girls. I feel they are quite similar at first sight, but not similar enough to fool anyone. Sophie had massive blue eyes, a distinctive top lip and a turned up nose. Alice was altogether darker, with dark eyes. There's no way she'd fool anyone imho! And there would have been technology capable of "ageing" a face; why didn't anyone use that?

do you mean Dougie Henshall gettingonabit?

Oh, yes, must watch him that

Ah, that would be a point that a good defence lawyer could use in court - but we didn't hear anything about the court case did we?

We are just too good, all of us, for the BBC to fool! wink

However, I did enjoy it so I must let all the faults go by the wayside.

However, brown eyes turned to blue? Even a father as blinkered as Sam would notice that surely?

Yes,*jalima*. That's him. And the other one's Martin Compston, I think.

Hmm, eye colour, Jalima? I'm not sure my DH would notice that. In fact, I'm not sure he'd even get my eye colour right if I asked him, let alone the DDs'. I will ask him, but tomorrow. I've already flummoxed him once today by checking if he knew my bra size (appertaining to another GN thread). He didn't, btw grin

Jalima Fri 02-Dec-16 19:15:48

I'll ask DH what colour eyes the DC have.
Could be interesting grin
