Bloody hell, your child is dead and you can't touch them. I sobbed Sad

LottieJenkins · 04/03/2013 21:38

I am already thinking Dad is involved or girls bf??

AnyFucker · 04/03/2013 21:42

nah, too obvious

Slainte · 04/03/2013 21:46

I'm sobbing here too, good wording Chickens the parent-muscle.

It looks like its going to be worth following.

NoelHeadbands · 04/03/2013 21:50

Do we think the mum lied about checking on him at 9pm? That's the only bit that didn't ring true for me. Not in any sinister way, just perhaps she didn't want to admit that they hadn't seen him.

My imagination is working overtime lol

makingdoo · 04/03/2013 21:56

Oh this is gripping viewing. My stomach is in knots

BOF · 04/03/2013 21:57

Why has the little boy deleted everything? Brilliant acting.

BOF · 04/03/2013 21:58

When his mum asked if Danny had been alright, the boy shook his head almost imperceptibly before he answered yes. So clever.

AnyFucker · 04/03/2013 21:58

I don't normally like the ferret-faced one. But he is ok in this.

Slainte · 04/03/2013 22:00

We've to wait til next week for more?! I thought it was on tomorrow, it's gripping stuff.

hockeysticks · 04/03/2013 22:01

I noticed that too BOF.

I can't believe I have to wait until next week!

NoelHeadbands · 04/03/2013 22:02

I saw that too BOF

hockeysticks · 04/03/2013 22:04

How many episodes is it?

Is it a Killing-esque marathon or short one?

UnlikelyAmazonian · 04/03/2013 22:04

Why portray journos as criminals? It's a criminal offence to take the soft toy.

Ridiculous.

And the scene with the 'editor' saying jazz up the copy about the dead boy as it was too expensive to send a reporter?

Rubbish.

Fucking ridiculous. Angry

BOF · 04/03/2013 22:04

Shall I change that to 'perceptibly' then? Or will we tell ourselves we are super-observant? Grin

Can't wait for next week, that was great.

BOF · 04/03/2013 22:05

8 episodes, hockey.

lookingforbaubles · 04/03/2013 22:06

google says there are 8 episodes, it cant be 8 weeks on this one story??

LottieJenkins · 04/03/2013 22:06

Very interestingly a lot of the actors arent listed on the IMDB page. Neither Pauline Quirke, Simon Rouse David Bradley or Carolyn Pickles are listed nor on their own IMDB pages either!!

AnyFucker · 04/03/2013 22:06

Off to watch a couple of episodes of Homeland now. Am in the mood to watch telly (rare for me)

UnlikelyAmazonian · 04/03/2013 22:06

Oh and the female Head of news smoking in the newsroom? Simply would not happen.

Haggard old female breaking the law by smoking over her young reporter in the actual newsroom?

Gimme a break. [boring]

ImNotaPheasantPlucker · 04/03/2013 22:07

Sorry, less than impressed with it. Will probably give it a miss in future

RedPencils · 04/03/2013 22:08

I thought it was in every night this week?

Ledkr · 04/03/2013 22:09

It was really good I thought. I will look in on dd before we go to bed.

NoelHeadbands · 04/03/2013 22:09

I don't think it was a real cigarette. At least I presumed it wasn't Grin

hockeysticks · 04/03/2013 22:13

Well The Killing was 20 hours on one murder and I think that's the kind if vibe they're going for so 8 sounds about right.
