The Loch

Well, not sure about that, as the pregnant girl and doctor didn't have a point in the story, just a red herring.

I think that the ' locked in' boy must be something sinister or else what would be the point in him .... Petrie is the most obvious but .....

So, anyone care to have a guess who the killer is?

The locked-in syndrome boy's brother's now discovered his dirty bare feet so knows he's been up and about - the mother will have some explaining to do tonight!

The boy with 'locked in' syndrome is definitely being over medicated, but I don't have him down as a/the murderer, he looks too well drugged to be able to function enough to commit murder,
Or, perhaps Nessie is slithering out of the loch and doing the dirty deeds?

Yes, he's definitely being over medicated. Suspicious!

Yes I thought I saw the mother of the boy with locked in syndrome giving him IV insulin, keeping him in a coma ?

I wondered if the lads mother was giving him extra medication to prevent him getting out of his bed? There is something odd there

I wonder about the lad with Locked in Syndrome. How locked in is he really? It seems to be his medication keeping him there - and why is he in the plot? Perhaps Petrie is too obvious.

Aha! I wasn't paying full attention!

Dessie said he had curling practice straight after the hydro visit!

Agree Petrie seems likely.

Why would Dessie take his curling gear on the hydro visit? It annoyed me that all this kids were seemingly allowed to wander around a power station unsupervised.

Nailing my colours to the mast here.......
DH and I think the murderer is Petrie, he had the opportunity to hide the hammer etc in the loft at Dessie's house.
Was it the rifle that Dessie had in the bag when the group went to visit the hydroelectric dam? Or was he telling the truth, and it was his curling kit?
My money says Dessie was carrying his curling gear, Petrie had the rifle hidden in readiness, and he killed 'red haired boy' (can't remember his name), attempted to kill Kieran, and then shot Dessie, attempting to make it look like suicide!
Of course, all the above could be utterly, utterly wrong.....I shall find out tomorrow evening!

I am enjoying this. As someone said it's like a Scottish Broadchurch. I didn't think it was gory and |I don't actually have any problem with hearing the Scottish accents though I always do with 'Southern' dramas! What does that say about where I originate?!

I suppose it's psychological gore! I have a vivid imagination and that body in the lake is really freaking me. My fear of drowning coming to the fore.

Yes, I think the 'bloody gruesome' warning at the beginning was a bit OTT.

Me neither just that last fight but nothing too bad tonight Whats the lie the police woman's husband wants to tell
Oh what a tangled web

Were we watching the same programme NfkDumpling?

I didn't see any gore at all, apart from a tiny bit when that bloke was stabbed at the end...

It's gone beyond Midsommer with gore - I'm watching from behind the sofa now!

Good guessing Grannyknot. I hadn't thought of that.

I'm liking it too. A bit far fetched in places but it does keep you on the edge of your seat. I also think it's very 'Broadchurch in Scotland '. Looking forward to see where it goes.

DH and I were shouting at the TV, "the van you morons, the van!"

It was NfkDumpling who summed The Loch up as 'Midsomer Witness'.

I'm actually loving it - I was a bit put off by the gore comments on the beginning of this thread but have been disappointed with a couple of other new series so thought Id at least try this one. I love it. Its a bit like Broadchurch in Scotland !

So much going on , so many red herrings.

The plot is a bit clunky in places like the Psychologist bursting into the press conference and the van outside the meeting but I'm still hooked !
