I thought it was brilliant, although some generational shifts confused me. The lead character played by Sarah Lancashire had a grandson but didn't look old enough.

The company boss had been friends with the accountant's father, that didn't add up did it? Or did I get that wrong.

Great to see the George Costigan and Siobhan Finneran reunited although not onscreen together.

Brilliant writing and simply superb acting I thought, anybody else enjoy it?

...what if he comes up from the cellar before the ambulance gets there?

I really didn't want to carry on watching the series after the first episode with so much violent content, but I am so glad I stuck with it.

Excellent acting, horrifying storyline, my heart is still beating way too fast but I so want to find out the ending. I hope it all ends 'happily' but I don't think it will.

What can I say but 'me too'? Harrowing, horrible, intense and very good TV. DP and me shouting at telly. Thank god the girl is rescued. Presumably cathy not dead? 2 more episodes - if that monster comes out of the cellar at the beginning of next ep I will die.

It's got to be baftas all round for this next year surely? Can't remember last time a tv drama made me shake.

Girl will be locked in police car so she should be safe from him but what about poor Cathy, I'm going to be worrying about her for a week!!

HE'S GOING TO KIDNAP HIS SON!

SOMEBODY STOP HIM!

sorry, still a tad overwrought.

I just hope people remember PuringMary by the time the next BAFTAs comes round. I totally agree. Broadchurch was very good but even it didn't get me physically shaking like this!

That was briliant, my heart was in my mouth!

What was Anne shouting at the end?

Thanks Everlong. I was up very early.

OMG. My heart rate is still thumping.

This is fab and a week seems so long to wait.

I think she was shouting "don't do it, don't you die"??

She was shouting Don't do that

I don't know what Ann was saying in the car. At first I thought it was get in the car but then it changed?

Daughter and I too think he is going to kidnap his son.

I think she was shouting to Catherine "don't give up!"

I'm thrilled and horrified in equal measure by this series!

It was something like don't do that referring to the fact she was about to go unconscious.

Yeah she was saying don't die. I am sitting here hoping someone gets help before psycho gets out the basement.

so stressful and so utterly brilliant

We wanted Ann to take a second swing at the bastard's head to make sure she finished him off! I'm very worried about him coming up those stairs whilst she's lying in the road.

The only weirdly duff note was her ex-husband telling her all that stuff about drugs that everyone who has ever watched any telly drama would already know - let alone a journalist. What was that all about?

They even had to nod to him stating the obvious with SL responses. What was the purpose of that scene?
I get the whole drugs/local politos/plod subplot but still thought that was clumsy.

Think Ann was telling SL to get in the car and then not to die :-(

Then did it change ? and last thing was 'don't do that, don't kill her'

Heartbreaking.

Nothing has had my heart going like that since Luther...

Maybe it's a clumsy way of the script writers showing how SL connect Ashley-he mentioned it being cut with brick dust, he's got building supplies..

I haven't been so physically affected by a programme before, my heart rate is still going strong (but behind on sky plus, just finished)
