Can't wait to see what happens

Detective is not a good guy, otherwise the journo couldn't have blackmailed him so easily.
Dodgy liason bloke was supposedly on hols with son and volunteered to assist the investigation.
Ollie did have the scarf when he went missing, you can see it clearly in shot when he is getting dressed after swimming. It's a cotton scarf and its well into the evening in Northern France, it wasn't even warm enough to be swimming really.
Why wouldn't Emily know where to go, she's already been to the police and been updated on the reopened case, half the town knew which house it was by then anyway, they called a meeting in the town hall!
House owner let them in because she knew who they were (everyone knows them there) and Julian is an inspector. She didn't let them wander around, Tony walked off on his own and started opening doors.

But does anyone actually say he was wearing the scarf when he went missing- or is it just a scarf he did wear sometimes?

Yes, his Dad dries him with something yellow - really hard to say if it was the scarf or a towel as it's only briefly in shot. After that, when they head to the bar for a drink, Ollie definitely has no scarf on. He is carrying a bag but I think his Dad finds it after Ollie has gone missing so he didn't take it with him.

EmilyGilmore · 14/11/2014 09:26

It's a yellow towel. If you google The Missing BBC1 & Independent you see a screenshot of Tony carrying Olly from the pool. He has a yellow towel over his shoulder.

EmilyGilmore · 14/11/2014 09:26

Sorry, you click on the first link after googling that.

susiedaisy · 14/11/2014 10:26

The hotelier would of had access to the yellow scarf if it was left in family's room

DillydollyRIP · 14/11/2014 10:30

The video at the party of a boy in the window :(
5 more episodes! What is going to happen for 5 more?

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/11/2014 22:06

Hmmmm the scarf won't be a continuity error, will be part of the story how it got to him at that house.

I thought it very odd that in the first episode Emily told plo to donate the fox to the charity shop after he found it in the bathroom. Maybe something happened to remove any sentimental value from it for her.

I'm not constantly comparing it with mm case as I'm watching, I can't see all these similarities that others are seeing.

Am finding it good to watch and it's the first time since broad church that I've booked my place on the sofa each week for something.

EmilyGilmore · 14/11/2014 22:32

The hotel owner got the scarf to him, don't you think? He would have had access to their room.

CrapBag · 15/11/2014 22:41

That bit where you saw Ollie being dragged away from the window was chilling. He looked identical to my DS.

MarthasHarbour · 16/11/2014 17:09

crapbag Sad it has been hard enough for me to watch with a similar age DS but he doesn't look the same.

Celticlass2 · 16/11/2014 18:42

I've watched all three episodes of this on I player over the weekend. I'm hooked.

JKSLtd · 16/11/2014 20:13

We're hooked too.

It is uncomfortable watching. And thinking, all that time - what it is 8 years? Can there ever truly be a happy ending? :(

funambulist · 18/11/2014 10:07

After the discussion about Ollie's scarf I couldn't resist watching the relevant bit of the first episode (it's still on i player).

First you see the family in the restaurant. Ollie isn't wearing the scarf, but I think there is something yellow on top of a bag on one of the seats. Ollie and Tony go back to the hotel to get swimming stuff.

Then you see Ollie and Tony at the pool. Afterwards you see Tony rub Ollie's hair dry with a yellow towel, it's too big to be the scarf.

At the bar Ollie isn't wearing the scarf but does have a bag over his shoulder. I don't think that Tony is carrying a bag so presumably the bag contains both of their swimming costumes and towel - and the scarf?

Ollie then disappears.

What I found more interesting than trying to spot the scarf was the fact that a man with short white/grey hair walks past the pool and looks at Ollie and Tony whilst they are playing. This man looks similar to one of the men at the garage where the car was being fixed earlier in the day.

There were two men at the garage. First we see a man with white-grey hair, who walks past Ollie as he is balancing on a beam, looks at him and sort of tickles him as he walks past. Then we see a younger man looking at the car engine. Man with white-grey hair stands in the background as younger man recommends Hotel Eden to Ollie's family, so man with white-grey hair knows where they are staying.

The wife of the couple who own Hotel Eden reminds her husband that he has a meeting shortly after Ollie's family arrives.

Anyone else think any of this is significant? Or am I reading too much into it?

susiedaisy · 18/11/2014 11:19

Excellent theory fun. I really need to rewatch all the episodes to be able to contribute to theory's but don't have the time.

Jenda · 18/11/2014 18:49

Excellent theory and accounts for otherwise maybe unnecessary car break down plot

FallonColby · 18/11/2014 21:08

Mark just asked a Julian about the chances of finding Olly alive but surely as a police officer he would know such things and wouldn't have to ask.

MrsHoolie · 18/11/2014 21:19

Did anyone watch Amber?That was great until the end when....we never found out what happened.
I hope this comes to a conclusion and that it has a happy ending Confused

BOFster · 18/11/2014 21:36

God, yes, Amber. Total waste of time.

UncleSue · 18/11/2014 21:40

Help, I am being dim, who is the teacher/druggie?

FallonColby · 18/11/2014 21:42

She is the girlfriend of the undercover policeman who was killed at the train station. Her brother is connected to the drug trafficking gang.

UncleSue · 18/11/2014 21:44

Thanks Fallon!
