Just starting, I'm looking forward to this.

The boy is dead cute though

difficultpickle · 21/04/2013 21:54

I'm not watching this week as I was rather put off by the thought of an upsetting scene in an already depressing story. What was the upsetting scene?

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 21:55

Oh my fucking god. Not the cows.

Bessie123 · 21/04/2013 21:56

allocerit I was thinking the same thing - what a sweet little boy

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 21:57

Um. Take your pick. Cows slaughtered, force feeding girl who is refusing food, doctor raping patient (we're led to believe)

Hideous

Bessie123 · 21/04/2013 21:57

Sorry I meant alloverit

LineRunner · 21/04/2013 21:57

The upsetting scenes seems to be the forcefeeding of a young woman and some coy allusions to her rape by her doctor. All in the name of entertainment.

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 21:58

Now a list of the Somme dead gone up...

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 21:59

And a suicide...

difficultpickle · 21/04/2013 21:59

Glad I've given it a miss.

LineRunner · 21/04/2013 21:59

Bloke just blew his brains out.

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:00

But Joe's back so happy ever after...

RhondaJean · 21/04/2013 22:00

Why did he shoot himself?

Bessie123 · 21/04/2013 22:01

Another 2 years of the war though if that was the battle of the somme

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:02

Yes. Two more years of FUN for The Village... sigh

couldwinterstopnowplease · 21/04/2013 22:02

Wow that was cheery.

I don't understand - I thought she had read that Joe was one of the dead on the list but then he was shown walking home?

Young Bert is an amazing actor isn't he?

LineRunner · 21/04/2013 22:04

I think Maxine was showing ambiguous emotion, showing off her lovely acting in the face of the actual script.

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:04

No he wasn't on there.

MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges · 21/04/2013 22:05

Who shot himself? Are the two teachers who went to war still alive? Was it Caro being force fed?

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 21/04/2013 22:05

I certainly feel uplifted after watching that!!

Glad to be me and now!

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:06

Young Bert is awsome. I'm watching just for him really.

I must be mad...

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:06

AWESOME. Fricking autocorrect

AllOverIt · 21/04/2013 22:08

Posh dad with scarred face shot all the cows then himself

Caro was force fed

No idea about the teachers. Let's hope nasty bastard stays in France

louisianablue2000 · 21/04/2013 22:10

Wasn't Joe walking home in a dream sequence as he died at the Somme? Surely he would have been cleaned up a bit before he came home? Very depressing this week after last week being not so bad. But oh so beautifully shot and I like the gaps in the story telling, that more like real life isn't it, sometimes we don't know why things have happened.

MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges · 21/04/2013 22:10

Thanks AllOverIt. I predict Nasty Badtard will live and be even nastier. Lovely teacher will die rather than raise a gun to defend himself (or be shot for cowardice).
