We probably should have Eugene, but better late than never

 

Hubby said it was him all along - he's feeling very smug atm

I has my suspicions early-on too, and am now kicking myself for not coming out and just saying it!

You should have been like me - I have vocalised the fact that every one of them did it - even the mother and grandmother.

 

So, therefore, I was right

I said in work today - it was either his Mum, his Gran, the detective or her hubby - because they were the only ones not under suspicion so far - so I was a quarter right.  

 

they didn't mention that extra scene on scottish telly - not that I'd have missed anything.     do you think they'll keep the name and have different characters - how can DT still be in it if he's medicalled out?

Ah yes: the "scattergun" strategy.  

I think everyone's had a "pleased but bemused" reaction to that announcement at the end. Goodness knows how they're going to do it, but then they're making a new series of "The Bridge", and I thought that wasn't possible with the same cast either...

Maybe she will relocate and he will be drafted in ... hmmmm I might leave a message on the FB page - I won't charge ITV much for the idea

One I implement quite regularly

I loved it.

But I can't get my head around Danny's dad being allowed to visit Miller in the cells

Cosi - we shouted at the telly a bit at that too. I can only assume it was small town syndrome ... was glad the cell door remained locked though

Hmmmmmmmm ............i don't think I could have paid proper attention throughout TBH. Too many red herrings and too many loose ends. Why did that woman have the skateboard? Why did she give the name of her son as the person she saw? What did the detectives sister have to do with anything?

 

Maybe I should watch/listen more attentively 

I had a bit of a wobble - a sort of 'oh no, don't spoil it now' (i.e. by going ott and far-fetched).  But fortunately they reigned it back in just in time.

 

It just wouldn't happen in the real world.

Can't remember why she had the skateboard, I think she honestly thought it was her son as they look quite similar and I haven't got a clue about the detective's sister. Last time I saw her she was Tanya's alcoholic sister in Eastenders!!

I thought that - a bit type cast don't you think?

A friend at work thought it was the dad's mate (the work mate - Pauline Quirk's son) and I said I got him muddled with Miller's husband and I thought he was dodgy!!

Welcome to my world, Soozy

I've the attention span of a gnat.  I talk myself out of watching something by saying I don't have the time or patience or that I'll watch it on Sky + later.  Then I sit flitting through the channels for the next 2 hours...when I could have spent 1 hour watching something half decent.

Didn't she see his body on the beach (but not report it - presumably because she thought she'd seen her son leave the body there?) and took the skateboard away (to hide maybe?)    she might have given his name because she did think it was him - she told him he had more of his father in him than he knew remember?  (I just thought of that now)    The sister just happened to see the killer put the clothes in the bin - but she didn't think it was Joe either at the time.

I'm not really sure why she took the skateboard (I think she was a bit odd) but she did give it to Tom, saying he should have it as his friend.

She could have saved a lot of aggro just calling the police at the beginning

I loved the way they didn't reveal the killer and that was it - but showed all the after story - I really felt for poor Ellie

Isn't that why she (Quirke) didn't report about the skateboard - because even she mistook her son for Miller?

Cosi - I'm so like you - I can never be bothered to concentrate properly (often I'm snaffling ) - I'm forever winding back - it's a wonder I ever get to the end of anything!!

 

It's the reason I rarely watch films - I absolutely love Doctor Who but never understand it - the grand kids explain it to me.

 

I'm determined to concentrate on the Lemonade Girls though.

I think you may mean The Ice Cream Girls...? 

I feel better now that I know you've paid less attention than me

 

Sky+ gets ramped up with 4-5 episodes of some new drama series on a regular basis.  Then it starts getting dangerously full... so I delete aforesaid drama.

I'm my own worst enemy!

Started off with both the Soprano's AND Boardwalk Empire in exactly the same way; never seen an episode of either of 'em!

**covers eyes** I missed the first couple of eppys and had ALOT going on so didn't get time to catch up, I think given that this is what loads of people are talking about (not just here) I will defo have to watch it all back to back at some point! I won't come back in here so I don't spoil it for future viewing

OMG!!!! That really was unintentional See what I mean? I really must concentrate more!

I bought Mr Woo the Sopranos box set - don't think I've ever watched one episode!

that was brilliant Sooz  

You should definitely try and watch it all, Jen

 

Bugger.  You won't see this 'cos you're avoiding the thread!

I really wish this forum had sigs!

Covertly checked for quotage, Cosi I really will

And I still didn't read anything giving it away yay lol

I was disappointed in the ending

The ending was weak. Or as we both said, "phooey!" I am now intrigued as to what people ^^^^ mean by extra footage or an announcement?

I'd love to know how you dreamt up 'Lemonade Girls' though Sooz! 

Me too Carport and Baz. It was trying too hard to tie up the mystery in a rather old-fashioned 'this is what actually happened' flashback method. 

Joe, the "extra footage" is the scene of Danny's wake which I've embedded in the OP. The "anouncement" was the message in the closing credits that there would be a second series.

Aw naww...  I loved it.

see... i followed her train of thought easily.    Treats you buy off a van or in a beach cafe in the summer.  simples.  

I loved the series and was delighted that my prediction, that David Tennant would get bumped off at the end, was completely wrong. However, my youngest son and I did correctly predict the murderer.

I'm over the moon that there will be another series.

Thanks Eugene! I had one eye on the telly and one on my crossword. I think I saw it all including the wake but hadn't recognised it as extra material. Then I remember some sort of advert for Olivia Colman in a period piece.
