*tip Olly, google the words you want and add gagajoyjoy and more than likely you'll find the thread* 

Half of what the prosecuting barrister said went over my head, I dislike her so much I want to throw things at my TV. You are right though, he said he was going to tell his wife, don't think it was proven though and could be said that he was lying I suppose.

My heads battered with it, so far I have Pauline Quirk guilty of nicking a skateboard and probably tax avoidance for selling cup cakes out of her caravan   

Haha, same here

But good point Olly, I hadn't realised that

Good point Olly.   I was snoozy last night and by the time I got the to end of the episode had realised I need to watch it again because either I've missed bits, or they've missed bits out.   I was doing so well following it too... or so I thought.. 

Cheers guys at least I know I wasn't going mad... 

I think the Dad admitted to writing the letter when he was on the stand, it was definitely part of evidence given so provable which adds to the contradiction the defence gave when trying to sway the jury into having doubts as she painted a case for someone else supposedly being guilty of murder.. Writers didn't double check their story methinks

And yeah the defence barrister is a right biatch

and thanks for the search tip. .so it's free to search if you use google but, if you use the forum you have to pay.. 

*and yup I'm moaning about it again.. *

I was thinking the same thing Olly! Why would he go through all that goes with killing your own son to cover up something he was about to openly admit anyway! I too can't stand the defence woman.... but then i don't think we're meant to which means she's playing the part well 

If it comes up that he is found not guilty because of reasonable doubt it is a massive flaw in the whole script and will spoil it for me.. 

I don't like the barrister's sidekick either, but as you say they are probably acting well

I can't stand the defence lawyers and will be disappointed if he's found not guilty.

I loved the look on her face when the bloke said he's always wanted to tell her she was a thoroughly horrible person.   Not at all what she expected... 

I loved her face too, like she had never realised until he said it 

It's making  a bit more sense now at least.. i started watching what I thought was the recording about 9.20 pm last night... seems I was watching it live - totally missed Hardie revealing the pregnancy, the interview with the 'stalker' and Ellie on the stand.   

As for the original point about why would he kill him.... I'm just rewatching that bit and the defence barrister is implying that seeing Danny 'brought Mark back to reality' and that he didn't want his wife to find out after all.   I think. 

oh that makes a bit more sense of it.. she could have made it clearer or maybe I am useless and missed the point she was trying to make

I wouldn't have picked up if I'd not rewatched..   She made a point of saying he'd 'mistaken a quick fumble in a car for true love' then just a bit later said 'Danny's face appearing at the window brought him sharply back to reality' (or something like that)

ah that's good then. .I think I got fixated on what felt like a huge contradiction and didn't concentrate on the rest. .Comprehension was never one of my good subjects at school

I feel so much better about the script now so if they do say not guilty I'll feel the argument was a good one not the flawed one I thought it was at first

I still think the son ( of the copper) did it I reckon the defence have the right scenario , but with wrong perp  

After thinking it through again, I still think it's the dad. In the first series they implied it was an adult bloke by the size of the strangle marks. Danny doesn't look that big for a teenager, he also admitted he murdered him before Ellie attacked him in the police station, I'm I mistaken in thinking the defence barrister said he confessed after she attacked him, which wasn't true  The twist could be the Dad did it, but walks free ...I rest my completely wrong case 

I still think the right man's on trial.   I think he might get away with it though.

Maybe looney Claire will bump him off - just for the hell of it.   You heard it here first....

(I think when Ellie said he'd confessed Defence Barrister Biatch said 'Was that before or after you attacked him' - but we all know it was before.   Don't we? )

I'm also a tad disappointed in DT... playing like the dying man when he was only having a pacemaker fitted....   You'd think he was in for a quadruple bypass 

Drama queen.  

I'm completely lost with most of it.. .I mean how do they expect us to recall all the stuff from the first series as well as keep up with the new stuff too...  my head hurts with it all

Yeah, what was that all about???? 

and even if it was a false confession, why would you label yourself a pedophile, didn't Miller say he loved him  I am not getting what could be the twist, if he didn't do it they totally baffled us in series one, after making it obvious they had the right man   I'm sure I will have got it completely wrong though 

20 unanswered questions may refresh your memory Olly

gorgeous wuss though 

Well yes, but if I'm not the one at his bedside (or somewhere in that vicinity) I'm not playing.

oh and.... I've never entirely trusted that vicar....

true, he's still good to look at though 

yes agree bazzy

no neither have I-TBh thought it was him that did it -he is like a covert paedophile

thanks for those. .think they've just added more questions than resolutions now

I've forgotten who was near the hut [where he died?] and someone had to take him to the boat to put him on the beach so it seems it must be more than one person involved and possibly a van too to transport his body.. which means the baldy headed guy could be involved as well.. unless I've got it wrong and he didn't die in the hut. .my head is so confused now with the all new stuff and then the old stuff that I've forgotten

Me too Olly 

In fat, the only thing that I do understand is that I shouldn't be considering a career change as a detective anytime soon

What did you think then? I thought it was fabulous

Me too.  Although that defence barrister is a smug horror.

Well, you'd better get used to her because her son's story looks like being a feature in the next series

Yes, I think it is, Rexi.  I'll cope no doubt 

Oh, and at least the bluebell mystery got solved.  In fact, I think they wrapped up most of it quite well.  Not too many threads left hanging, but enough to flesh out around the main story in the 3rd series.

Yes looks that way, doesn't it?     I loved the series - was glued to the final episode there.
