The Drowning

I noticed the pottery on the dresser too. I thought it was Emma Bridgewater at first, but it looked heavier and more rustic. It looked good because there was so much of it, (so expensive).

I had a thought, the title The drowning could have been Tom's drowning AND Jason's drowning, though I think it meant the boy's.

Blimey you’re a observant lot I never saw any pottery I m too busy trying to follow the story line always miss the little bits and bobs

You are so right I never thought of it that way
Thank you for putting my mind at rest as I went of to bed last trying to work the relation of all to each other

Yes, it was odd, but do you think it suited the brother Jason to have them ‘on side’ so to speak?

He would know that the ex and his new wife would want a line drawn under the unfortunate past, and if Jodie seemed mad and irrational, they would all be able to ‘gang up’ against her.

I watched it and yes there were a few weak storylines but I was most confused at the Ex son in law being umosgst the family with his new wife and child.
I can appreciate it when there is a family gathering regarding shared children but this wasn't so.
Di anyone else think the same ?

Yes, the pottery was rather arty. Nice to have enough space to display it all.

On another matter, where did she get that awful coat from?

There were so many loose ends left untied. Such a good cast wasted.

4 hours I’ll never get back! I stuck with it hoping there be an interesting twist!
All too far fetched, the matriarch was too laid back. I also noticed the pottery, which goes to show how uninteresting the acting was.

A bit random but does anyone know what the pottery was on the mum's shelves?

Oh, I didn’t notice any pottery.
I was too riveted by the story!

?????

Very, very silly - and lots of unnecessary drama added in (the gang master, etc) that was really nothing to do with the plot and went absolutely nowhere.

It could have been good - but it wasn't.

Oh dear, it was so bad! Jason swimming desperately after the boat made me laugh out loud as well. What the heck was he even doing it for? I thought the young actor playing Daniel was good though - he’s the son of the lead vocalist of Placebo, Brian Molko, whose posters used to adorn DD2’s bedroom walls back in the day.

Thank goodness I’ve got It’s a Sin to look forward to tomorrow.

It was very silly wasn't it!

Thanks trisher and grannyticktock much appreciated

No he wasn't, the DNA test was forged. There were various last-minute twists, each more ludicrous than the last, and lots of unanswered questions and loose ends. It was quite daft by the end.

No, but it's far too complicated and unbelievable to explain!

I missed the last episode and cannot watch it on itv hub so the million dollar question was Daniel her lost son or not?

I thought the bit when he was swimming after the boat was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long time! I don't think it was meant to be, but really! What do you do when you want to get away? take a boat out of course!

Yes, utter drivel. But I was glued to it for four nights! Grannyrose, I hope you’re right. Happy family time now.

Well it was very far fetched but I somehow enjoyed it

Total tosh. Pity though cos it could have made a good story. There's still hope though that Jodie and Mark get together and they all live happily ever after.

Well more ridiculous things have happened.

Don't worry Calendargirl, Daniel's dad can have Jodie's bother's car!
If Daniel wasn't disturbed before, he will be now.

I know it was far fetched, but I felt a bit of sadness at the end.

well thank goodness thats over. I missed one episode and sorry i didn't miss the rest.

Beyond far-fetched. Each episode was more ludicrous than the one before.

Oh well, now we know!

Far fetched or what?

Hope Daniel’s dad got his car back from the passport forgers.

Tosh, but enjoyable tosh. I agree there is some background to the Mother and Brother; that comment about 'you owe her' plus there is an undercurrent between Jodie and her Mother, you would expect there to have been more empathy and kindness towards someone who had lost their child, even if they were all grieving too. I don't believe that a child of 4 would accept 'new parents', crikey children start school at that age. Will watch it tonight to see what happens.
