Hostages C4 9pm Saturday

[bisjo]

Odd time slot but sounds similar to Homeland in terms of being action packed and based on an Israeli series. I wonder why it's on Saturday rather than Sunday?

I'm watching on +1

Who is the guy who tried to shoot the daughter??

This program was so promising but now I'm only watching out of stubbornness!

Not sure who he was, and where did Sandrine appear from in that house when she saved Duncan and Kramer?

I don't know! Maybe she was supposed to have followed them there?

Don't know who the bloke was but daughter seemed to recognise him when at traffic lights

Sandrine knew something was up and saw the map in study

She also would hAve recognized the house as she went there as a waitress/prossy when the men were gambling and they stole from the safe

Black bloke worked out that didn't go to hospital when checked satnav - hence why he went to safe house where son was

So mum/doctor thinks her son is dead

Is the pres wife going to him him a Viagra pill evening of surgery?

Last one next week

Not sure how will finish

Doc won't forgive her hubby for allowin her to think her son was dead so no relationship there

Ill wife seems to cope not being wired up in hospital when apparently so poorly

Will pres die?

Will doc kill him?

Or pres wife?

Oh ok, I didn't remember Sandrine looking at a map and it being the same house as before.

I thought doctor knew her son wasn't dead? She was in on the plan and told her daughter that her brother isn't really dead?

Gosh I'm confused

Yes doc in in the plan about the son, she knows he is alive.

So what was the point in pretending to kill son then and to hide him away?

Blondes I think it was Duncan's idea to hide son away and for dad and Megan to follow on. Archer (think that's black guy's name?) was getting a bit paranoid that he wasn't in on the whole plan and discovered they'd hidden son, he still thought they'd actually killed him. So that's going to be his bargaining tool I guess.

Not sure how this is going to end! There's a lot to cover for the finale so I'm suspecting there may be another series -which I'll have to watch

I thought someone said a while back that no 2nd series so all loose ends tied up next week in last episode

Why didn't they tell the black bloke son didn't die?

What's the point of lying to your gang?

Well Sandrine isn't very trustworthy as we know.

Archer is only in it for the money, remember how eager he was to blindfold and gag the daughter and husband and lock them in the basement to enforce doctor to kill president? He's the only one who isn't emotionally attached to anyone, so is too big a risk.

Oh so no second series, a lot of loose ends to tie up then!

Last one tonight

Will pres die? Prob yes but not due to doc

Will doc get the blood to save kidnappers wife?

Fab episode. Esp the hospital scenes tho dissapointed ending

Def no s2

What a weird ending. Why did Duncan hand himself in?

the two that ended badly were the 2 black men, the uniformed one deserved to die as walloped lady with frying pan

black kidnapper, his friend shouldnt have died, dermot did let him down, he thought he was going to earn thousands and didnt

so pres wife knows the truth,assume doc told her when discovered his blood wasnt at the hospital

what she should have said, tho we didnt see her reply, was that obv she put blood under diff name to the only lab in the country , rather then send as pres blood to keep confidential

Did no one see the end

Saw it, v disappointed. Why did Duncan hand himself in? And why were the family still going to run? Surely as pres is alive then nobody knows what was done, apart from First Lady who helped Dr anyway, so no need for anyone to do anything other than go back to normality? Weird!

I was underwhelmed by the ending, such a shame. Would make a better film than tv series I think.

I wonder whether they wrote it planning for a second season and then when that was not forthcoming they had to tidy up all the loose ends albeit in a not very understandable way.

Gypsy that sounds right

Assume the pres wife divorces him

Overall I thought it was fairly shite with some disappointing acting from Toni Colette and her crunchy lips. Every time I saw her I wanted to give her some lip salve. And ruggedly handsome baddy Duncan who had two facial expressions of small smile and worried frown.

I thought it was an interesting start but some terrible acting and a clumsy and ridiculous plot towards the end. That's a few hours wasted that I won't get back....
