maybe evett was washing his car to get rid of evidence knowing his son had used it - even though meant to be 14

same as blonde bully (bIancas son Grin) SAID HE WANTED A CAR, HES MEANT TO BE 14/15 SO CANT LEGALLY DRIVE

whoops hits caps in excitement

there must be a twins link or else why mention they were twins and not just sisters, saying that they look so different with blonde and dark hair, that weird its the same person playing both

cant wait for tonights, will be watching 30mins behind again as working, so will not peep at this thread after 9pm :)

for a bit last night, i thought alan may be a twin too. his daughter said he wasn't her dad - more twins swapping places. but then, after that, alan started acting a bit more normal and fiona went all weird instead.

BeaWheesht · 07/03/2013 10:59

Yes that bit about her saying he wasn't her dad was strange

i though charlotte meant he was her step dad and not real dad

if he is her dad and a twin 'blondes brain explodes'

I think Linus was sick because his dad cooked some dodgy knock off meat and that was what was in the back in the cupboard.

I thought Charlotte meant Alan was her step Dad, but now I'm not sure.
I think there are so many red herrings and the ending will be something predicted by somebody, that sounds so reasonable and boring really.

Oh well we'll find out soon enough.

morethanpotatoprints · 07/03/2013 11:07

bag in the cupboard, lol.

NotADragonOfSoup · 07/03/2013 11:08

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on!

ProfYaffle · 07/03/2013 11:13

Every time I see Linus my head fills up with We Are The Pigs, if I were 20 years younger

limitedperiodonly · 07/03/2013 11:16

Caught up now. No bloody idea Grin

Them being twins has to be significant, doesn't it? I agree with whoever said that Caitlin is really Hattie and that it's Caitlin who's dead. Don't know why though and how they'd sort the hair out.

Totally insignificant but WPc Walliams has an enormous garden but apparently no spare room.

I think Linus is Malcom's son. that is why Everret said to Linus "you are lucky that I let you live here and feed you" and also why Malcom had money in an envelope for Linus.

Malcom was being blackmailed....?

WHAT Confused no he can't be is he

recall · 07/03/2013 11:27

I am extremely distracted that Fiona looks like David Walliams

Ormiriathomimus · 07/03/2013 11:31

Well the field of dislikeable men is shrinking. The only one I really really hate now is Everett.

nipersvest · 07/03/2013 11:35

from the promo at the end of last night episode -

everret saying to linus that he's been protecting him

alan coming down the loft ladder looking shocked/shifty

fiona saying she'll put things right

seth says something about caitlin changing/transforming

gail finds linus - must be more to this part of the story as the writers are focusing on gail so much.

Lucyellensmum95 · 07/03/2013 11:36

Its going to have a crap ending - there IS something going on with that policeman though he is vile

limitedperiodonly · 07/03/2013 11:38

Don't say that Sad It is going to be crap, isn't it?

foxymoon487 · 07/03/2013 11:40

Liking the twins-swap theory.How about if the girls
swapped guises for a Mayday prank (as suggested above)
unbeknownst to mixed up Linus who killed Hattie
because he is compelled to murder blondes like he did
his mum?Or he thought Hattie was his mum in some way ?
But then it is revealed to be not Hattie but Caitlin and he
goes mad ? I actually think the twin swap could be a red herring
and the answer will be down to good old-fashioned pathological
jealousy.Probably Sophie's character who will end up being
obsessed with Linus's dad who abandoned her in 1992.
Do we actually know when this is set ? The clothes are
sort of now but not quite.L's dad could be the little girl's father.
Her creepy husband is definitely a red herring and his blood
on the shirt story could be true but delivered in a sinister way.
Or put upon Gail (Leslie Manville) might in fact have known
more about her husband's financial ruin at Hattie's hands
than she let on All these possibilities.Can't wait for tonight !

LaurieFairyCake · 07/03/2013 11:42

Agree that Hattie is alive and Caitlin is dead - and that they swopped - but Hattie had nothing to do with her death. It's definitely Hattie as she's not into physical intimacy with Linus whereas Caitljn was into snogging at the beginning - she looks shy now.

Also think that Linus killed Caitlin thinking she was Hattie but he doesn't know he did it - Malcolm was Internet perving on him and killed himself when he realised he was perving on his own son!

Linus doesn't know he killed Caitlin as he has had a psychotic break or is schizophrenic (really hope he's not schizophrenic as it really pisses me off when dramas present schizoid illness as violent Angry )

Lucyellensmum95 · 07/03/2013 11:45

Somebody dies tonight - and angie gets arrested (covering up for her vile husband no doubt). I refuse to believe that one person could drag that girl up that tree

guineapiglet · 07/03/2013 11:57

Hi all- am getting very confused trying to watch this, Lightfields and Broadchurch - why are there no decent dramas and then three on simultaneously, plus I need my regular fix of Sons of Anarchy - iplayer is on all the time!!:) Eagerly awaiting Shetland too on Sunday btw.

To whoever it was upthread who spotted the David Walliams look alike - thankyou! - absolutely spot on and when I watched it last night, kept expecting to see Matt Lucas doing something dodgy in the woods ( well, everyone else is)

What is going on? Everyone under suspicion in one way or another and everyone seems to be related to one another - definitely agree with the twins supposition that Hattie is C and vice versa - although why did she say 'Hattie' right at the end when all the pebbles fell on her. Why aren't the parents in it very much either, we hardly see them?

I would be really fed up if I felt that my kids were being taught in a class where everyone has their phones out like that..... is the fact that they were studying 'Othello' relevant???????

Roll on tonight < more dilemmas, Nashville is on later, will I be in a fit state?>

BeaWheesht · 07/03/2013 12:31

Foxy - it's filmed now because he said 1992 was 20 years ago.

No teenage boys have hair like Linus nowadays though do they??

limitedperiodonly · 07/03/2013 12:57

Not going to solve it but...

Inspired bit of detail from whoever it was from the production company who decided to put the teddy in a school tie in the branches of a tree. Outside the family's house. When the girl's body had been found in a tree.

Grief tourists do things like that, don't they? And then they say they reelly care. Sleep tite, angle. Nitey nite. Arggh!

midnightinmoscow · 07/03/2013 13:01

Fiona looks like David Walliams dressed up as Lou from Lou and Andy!

LittleAbruzzenBear · 07/03/2013 13:14

Just watched the last two episodes back to back. I am getting a little confused with this, Broadchurch and Lightfields! I agree with the poster upthread who thinks Seth didn't kill Hattie, but put her body in the tree. The PO (husband) is still creeping me out and Linus's Dad (or not, as the case may likely be) is a wanker. It was implied that he may have assaulted or raped Fiona when she was younger.

LittleAbruzzenBear · 07/03/2013 13:41

Meant to add final episode tonight, hope it isn't disappointing.
