Bouquet of Barbed Wire

[Just13moreyearstogo]

Can anyone explain what's going on? What's the deal between Gavin and Peter? Why's Cassie suddenly snogging Gavin? Did Peter have something to do with Paula?

I love it, despite being a bit bewildered this week

Deeply dysfunctional all round. Quire relaxing not having to be worried for any of the characters - they are not very sympathetic.

am enjoying.

Me too. I think he is Paulas son.

I have not been able to watch it but I have found the original on video at a charity shop. Yippee.

Does anyone know when this will be shown in Scotland? I can get ITV London through Sky but miss being able to discuss it at work as no one else has watched it! We've got Taggart instead!

Can someone please explain why there was an ambulance at the scene when Pru was lying in the car dying, but not one person was there helping her?! The crew just seemed to be milling around whilst Daddy-o was sat with her.

WTF?!

Totally lost, i missed the first part today.

What a bonkers family. As dweezle says, is relaxing not caring about how it turns out though since they are all so deeply unsympathetic. Apart from the little brother who seems to be the only remotely normal one in the whole programme. Although now screwed up for life and probably going to go on to commit deeply disturbed acts of his own.

Hmm.

Strange.

Well I got that all wrong!

Yep, didn't think he'd do that.

Was enjoyable though. Filled a few monday nights!

What happened to Paula then? I didn't really understand that bit. Was she kidnapped and murdered?

Oh my God the wife knew he'd jump!

i turned away at last moment!! did he jump???

The only part I didn't get was Gavin saying about Peter at college and him and 'Paula' being heard down the corridor or did he not mention Paula and it was her mum that he abandoned. Shame he jumped though!

i thought it all lingered and then in th esapce of 5 mins gav tells us and nothing made sense

why did paula die? who and why was she kidnapped?

glad he jumped, he was a twat but so was the wife

I think so follygirl. Well that's what i got from it

Also thought that about the paramedics LastOrdersAgain - exactly why did the let the day just stroll in and not help the person in the crash car? Maybe they all were admiring the random horse that was there.

Found it odd!! Would like to see the original now - or maybe read the book regardless to think it odd.

That was the worst bit of television I've ever seen. Not one single character behaved, at any stage, in a fashion even vaguely reminiscent of a real human being. I was actually shouting 'jump' at the end. Plus, the sight of Trevor Eve crying has put me off my tea, like, forever.

Paula went to Peter for help as their foster parents were abusing them both, her sexually. He turned her away and she refused to go back with Gavin, then she was murdered wandering around by herself reading a book.

The cry made me look away from the tv in embarrassment!

*dad not day wander in

How did the wife know he'd jump? Did I miss something?

What happened to Paula's mum though? I was looking for twists so much I started to wonder if architect floozy could be Paula

Wow. That was certainly the worst bits of television ever. Loved it though. Great! Very odd too, though. Will definitely get the book.

I thought that too at one point said - till DH pointed out that Paula was dead. I also started thinging the flozy set it all up to get partnership

Paulas mum gave her up for adoption so wasn't on the scene.
