Why were the kids calling the teacher 'salty'in the classroom when he whacked the kid?Confused

Also did he love Melissa's mum?

My heart is still not beating normally!

Aibu to be frankly disappointed in Russell tovey-I would expect much better behaviour from him,and he's not just let us all down, he's let himself down too.

Yes, pregnant lady decided that as there was a murderer in her block of flats, she had better get him, but left baby monitor downstairs. She then ran up to loft, presumably because she thought it was safer than going downstairs closer to lesbian flat. Lesbian heard her on monitor then went up and heard pregnant lady in loft.

It was far too scary for me. I couldn't stop myself watching through to the end and now I can't sleep! I have man coming round tomorrow to look at putting boards down in the loft and think I will be a nervous wreck. I sort of hope Len died so I don't have to go through this again.

Ellenora5 · 15/09/2013 23:26

Am I the only one that was disappointed with the ending, no explanation as to why Elizabeth was living with Cellars, it was obvious from the beginning that Peg was being abused by Elaine, she had tried to leave and Elaine found her (I think), how on earth did Len move into the flat so quickly, he was already sleeping in the flat which was weird anyway, what was the point Michael was trying to make by sleeping with Elizabeth, he said "now that makes us even" (or something like that) even to what, we know he hated him but was it just because he was his teacher and he didn't like him. And seriously with Lens injuries he was able to make back to his flat and get his bow and arrow Confused and he must have given Elaine some beating when she was attacking him because she was covered in cuts.

Ah, maybe I'm just overthinking it.

valiumredhead · 15/09/2013 23:31

Elizabeth was Sellar's student, so when she stabbed the step dad she lived/hid with him. He wanted her as he didn't want to be alone.

valiumredhead · 15/09/2013 23:33

Seller's was vile to Michael throughout his childhood, seriously nasty so sleeping with Liz was to repay him for it.

End sequence:

Preg lady leaves baby with Len while she goes on date.
Len leaves baby on his bed in what used to be Melissa's flat.
Len is putting flyers under doors and finds dead not so Nice Lesbian in the tub in Lesbian flat
Evil Lesbian stabs Len in her flat
Preg lady gets back from date hears baby crying from Lesbian flat
Preg lady finds Len and not so nice lesbian in bathroom of Lesbisn flat
Preg lady legs it to her flat, calls the police, which Evil Lesbian hears over monitor
Preg lady legs it to attic for lord knows what reason.
Evil lesbian follows Preg lady to attic.
Preg lady pushes lesbian down attic stairs
As evil lesbians are notoriously hard to kill (snurk), she gets up.
Len, who is not as dead as he appeared, manages to get to his flat, where his bow, a perfect example of Checkov's Gun, is kept.
Len shoots evil lesbian at bottom of attic stairs

End show.

TakingThePea · 16/09/2013 07:48

I think pregnant lady went into attic to hide.

If she had gone downstairs to try and leave she would have had to pass Elaine's flat where she would have been seen, if she stayed in her flat Elaine probably would have broken in.

Hiding in the attic would have given her more time until the police arrived.

Liz had never been seen by the police before! She'd only just come out "of hiding" when she started sleeping with preg lady's boyfriend. So she is this suspicious character who A. Has been hidden away all this time and B. Is on the run from police for killing her mums partner!

I presume unit B of monitor was in Len's flat because he was babysitting, preg lady went in there to get baby, did she even go in to her flat? I thought she went in to Len's and then in to the attic (he was the top flat).

Yeah I think we saw him leave the door unlocked? I might be imagining that! I guess leaving it open was ok - the house is not open, he knows everyone, he's walking down the stairs and up again. Not that communal, if you know what I mean. Baby didn't look old enough to wander off :-)

valiumredhead · 16/09/2013 08:33

Again,I never locked the door of my flat if I had to pop down to another flat.

That was fun but silly at the end!
Len could survive if they want to do another series
The very end was sweet, 'I don't want to be alone.' And tied it all up; Len's over investment in the case, spooky teacher, the dead girl, the lesbians, all lonely people who didn't want to be alone.

hattymattie · 16/09/2013 10:28

Ok thanks for tying up the loose ends people. Just one question - did nasty schoolboy move out after his father told him what he though of him?

I hadn't thought of the lesbian commiting suicide - thought she'd been killed by psycho lesbian.

TootiesFrootie · 16/09/2013 11:09

Excellent summary Tee.

Tee2072 · 16/09/2013 12:01

I think so hatty. He was only there occasionally anyway.

Thanks Tooties.

It is not clear if Nice, but Murderous, Lesbian killed herself or if she was killed by Evil Lesbian.

Tee2072 · 16/09/2013 12:03

Sorry, one bit that's wrong in my summary:

Preg lady legged it to Len's flat to call the police, so she could get baby who was still in Len's flat. That's how Evil lesbian heard her, through the baby monitor.

diddl · 16/09/2013 13:19

So, Liz killed her mother's boyfriend,
Peggy killed Melissa,
Elaine probably killed Peggy but hopefully not Len?

Tee2072 · 16/09/2013 13:34

Yes.

diddl · 16/09/2013 13:55

Phew!
