[RiaOverTheRainbow]

Did anyone else watch this? Thoroughly creeped out.

The paranormal guy is definitely Maurice. I think that we were told that in last night's episode when paranormal guy came into the house there was a flash back of Maurice opening the door to the teacher (well i took it that this was to suggest Maurice/paranormal guy remembering

[oooggs]

Please can someone pm me too. It is keeping me awake at night

[cazzer886]

[colleysmill]

I woke up in the night to our pipes tapping and had to wake dh up to investigate. He couldn't hear it and thinks I'm bonkers. It was way too early for the heating and hot water too.

Happily our house is not anything like Crickley hall or I might have to move out!

If it's the book ending you all are asking for PMs about just Wikipedia it people :).

[Clawdy]

But didn't someone say the book is very different from the tv version? Is the end the same?

[ToffeeCaramel]

I have been v tired the last two Mondays due to bad night's sleep after watching CH! I think it is the abuse that is upsetting me a bit and keeping me awake more than anything.

Just read book - a shocking read in all senses. I've never read any of James Herbert before and based on this novel I have no idea how he has managed to become 'Britain's best horror writer'.

It's just so cliched and badly written. I think I prefer the TV version although I have no idea how next week's episode will pan out!

[ToffeeCaramel]

Yes, I really thought Augustus and Magda were going to start kissing yesterday. It definitely wasn't normal.

Watched this last night, went to bed and straight to sleep after. Dreamed DS was screaming. Stumbled, sleep fogged into his room calling DS are you alright, why are you crying and woke him up. He was sleeping peacefully til I disturbed him.
This is after the cat removed a chunk of skin with its claws after I jumped about a metre high in the air yelling when 'the hand' grabbed the book.

Far too scary for me!

Milewalker - you may have give a spoiler away there!

[milewalker]

oooh sorry-didn't mean to, how do i remove my last post?

[OliviaMumsnet]

Happy Viewing

[expatinscotland]

Someone please PM me and tell me how the book ends. Please. :)

[Blondeshavemorefun]

That's twice I've luckily read thread later and missed the spoiler posts

Thank god

Don't get why so many of you want to know the ending :(

Spoils it

Only thing I want to know if the ending different from
Book to tv

Often are :(

[colleysmill]

I tried Wikipedia yesterday and the page is under review and doesn't give away the ending.

[diddl]

Book & tv ending are different-but not hugely so.

[Moln]

How do you know? well i know how you might know the book! But how do you know the TV ending?

BTW do people recommend the book? Or another James Herbet?

[diddl]

Because I´ve seen the condensed version on BBC America.

[alexrider]

Does anyone think that Nancy and Stefan could be related somehow? I mean she spoke German fluently to him and I doubt there were many orphanage raised working class Northern girls who would learn a language so well in those days, and just that she called him "my beautiful boy" that's what I call my DS so I wondered if it inferred a closer relationship than teacher and student. Also, how the hell did she get a mahoosive bar of chocolate like that in the middle of the war, wasn't it one of those things that became incredibly scarce?

I haven't read the book and I'm loving the programme.

[babesdontlie]

[threesocksmorgan]

her nan is/was the cleaner there, so she must have "got" it from her
