Anybody watching the drama 'What Remains' now on BBC1?

[SoleSource]

Did you see the body? :(

Raping not taking-bloody auto correct!

Possibly her first time?

I thought it high lighted the difference between the women-one felt worthless and so she put up with him being rough and the journalist woman who was angry and fought him off.

Isn't the creepy son the same actor who played Jack Dee's daughter's dopey boyfriend in Lead Balloon?

I don't understand what the curly haired girl is doing living with the teacher guy in the basement. Is it a sexual relationship or is she a skivvy for him. It is not clear.
They are a right set of oddballs aren't they, glad my neighbours aren't like them!

I thnk she's hiding.
I have a feeling there was something with her family.

I have been watching it.

Am totally confused as to who did the murdering.

This week's episode just mixed everything up again. What a bunch of oddballs.

Kieron's son, (Adam?) is totally creepy. but I doubt he did any murdering.

I think pregnant lady just has a lot of time on her hands. Although after reading your theory harrystottle maybe there is more to it.

I'm beginning to think there wasn't a murder, either. The arrival if the detective merely stirs up all the dirt simmering under the respectable surfaces, and highlights how we all live shallow and isolated lives, possibly using life's 'nice' people to get what we want.

All the characters are unpleasant apart from the pregnant girlfriend but I wonder what she sees in her partner?

"I'm beginning to think there wasn't a murder, either"

But why would she shut herself in the attic?

And if by accident, wouldn't someone here her shouting/banging?

hear, not here

Have they DNA'd the remains, what happens if it is someone else and Melissa is still alive?

That was my theory. I think the body was too decomposed to do any DNA tests on and they just assumed it was Melissa.
I think Melissa went up to the attic, had a row with whoever and killed them and then took off and assumed a new identity.

Maybe she knocked herself out and someone shut the hatch? Thus showing how lonely and isolated she was. No one thought to look for her?

Or maybe it isn't her?

If it isn't her body, then whose is it???

Hmmm...

That Adam is ringing alarm bells with me - or is he just a red herring? Maybe he had a thing with Melissa too. He said he liked 'women' not girls didn't he.

I have been over thinking maybe.,

Maybe the title of the show should be Whose Remains??

See, I think that curly hair lady in the basement murdered her family, or something, and the teacher is hiding her and she is the one who is unhinged but I don't think she killed her. Or maybe she did. I think the same about the Victoria Hamilton lesbian, not as good as she seems and in some way implicated if curly haired lady isn't.

could it be a take on "an inspector calls" the classic J B Priestley play ???????

It's been noted already

thanx valium, I dont usually read back thru all the posts so I never saw that ....we'll find out next week eh?

I'm enjoying it.

As an aside - met tall mean lesbian at children's swimming lessons last summer, smiled and chatted as thought I knew her. And of course I did from Luther. Oh the embarassment.

Demi,I don't either I'm always getting told to read the thread

the tall lesbian got the other lesbian back by the threat of calling the police and their involvement in Melissa.
and now she has locked her in.
horrible

Are OH and I the only people who thought/think that Liz in the basement is a boy? When the school photo flashed up briefly I thought it was all boys, but when we saw the school it looked like a bog standard comprehensive.

Everyone else seems to know it's a girl. I do too really, but I wonder if we're meant to not know. She's quite boyish looking - and the Russell Tovey character positively recoiled when she tried to kiss him, and I reckon he's not that good a husband/partner that he wouldn't enjoy a bit of a snog, especially since he wants her on side.
