You me and the apocalypse

[BrandNewAndImproved]

Anyone else watching?

There are two bunkers. One in America and one in slough.

Ah, now that makes sense - was wondering how they'd got from dropping the president off at the Slough bunker and back to America so fast!

And who's in the box?

Leanne?

Still pinning my hopes on jude being the second coming and returning from the dead though...

I think that's more possible now Celine has flown his body to Slough. It also occurred to me that the production company might not have been entirely truthful in their IMDB entry for the last episode, as it would be a MASSIVE SPOILER to have Rob Lowe listed against the finale.

Another one here glad to see Leanne back - and yes, I do think it's her in the box.

Whatever happens next week, DH and I were talking about how well-paced this series is earlier and how it's ratcheted up the drama really well. We've enjoyed it so much already.

We've really enjoyed it - just glad they decided it was a mini series and not one which would go on for ever and ever!

Can't wait to see how it concludes

Katz - do you mean there'll be no second series?

not sure, i've not seen anywhere saying its got a second series, from what I've read it was planned and filmed as a 10 parter.

Yep, definitely looked more likely as soon as she asked for his body :)

Have marked them all 'keep' on my sky planner, i will gt dh to watch them as he thought he wouldnt like it and im surhe will

Being a sad individual I went through the opening sequences last night and listed who we know to be in the Slough bunker so far:
Ariel and/or Jamie.

Rhonda McNeil
Celine (Nun)
Scotty McNeil (Govt employee)
Frankie aka Giraffe Girl/Jamie's Daughter
Dave (Jamie's friend, injured eye)
Female in box (sounds like Rhonda, could be Leanne or Layla?)
Grandmother (Diana Rigg)
Doctor of above
Rhonda's son Spike (injured hands, stigmata?)
General Arnold Gaines (Scottie's partner)
Paula, Jamie's adopted mother (Pauline Quirk)

Monkey (Diana Riggs pet)
Prosthetic limb

Behind Jamie/Ariel during the sofa shot there seems to be a woman in an orange American prison jumpsuit, which could be Leanne or Rhonda and on the other side a, possibly Asian, woman with long dark hair dressed in white/grey.

Still loving the series and hoping the final episode ties up all the themes whilst providing a happy ending. Only bum notes for me have been the pantomime villian style depiction of the Grandmother and the appearance this week of June Whitfield as God, what's that all about!

I too went through all the opening bits today, Leanne is quite clearly there. The person in the box sounds nothing like Rhonda.

Aren't both Ariel and Jamie in the bunker? one on the sofa and one on the floor with a stomach wound?

No, it's Scotty on the floor. So who is the one with the bandaged hands?

Do the titles change significantly each week?

I'm gonna have to watch all the beginnings now too. Cant do it yet though, dh has the tv :(

How do Scotty etc get to Slough from America in 8 hours?
What happened to Rhondas husband? Is he in the bunker?

If there was already news of a second series, we would know that the apocolypse doesn't happen :)

Its the nephew (computer kid) with the bandaged stigmata hands.

The one with the bandaged hands is Leanne's son Spike.

Its about an 8 hr flight, he'd better get a move on!!

Can anyone explain all the family connections to me ? Father Jude was Jamie and Ariel 's dad - Diana Rigg is Jude's mother so Scotty and Rhonda are Jude's brother and sister and jamie/ariel 'so aunt and uncle? Have I got that right?@

Yes think so!

Is the person in the box definitely female? Could it be Arial?

I thought that the police officer who was chasing Leanne was far too obsessed with it all and she could be part of the whole thing somehow.

Dianna had three children that we know of Jude, Rhonda and Scotty.

Jude had two children, Ariel and Jamie, Jamie (grandchildren) had one child, Frankie (great grandchild)

Rhonda had one child, Spike (grandchild)

It's not looking like Jude and Scotty/Rhonda knew about each is it? My biblical knowledge is pretty shocking - are the family connections linked to biblical stuff (most obvious would be Ariel and Jamie as Cain and Abel I suppose?)

I am going to watch the whole series over again with DH who was brought up as a Christian. All the links are fascinating.

There was talk of a sibling (Jude), although he wasn't named, and I thought it was in a conversation between Scotty and Rhonda. It might just have been Diana Rigg though.

Jude won't be his birth name I don't think - don't they take another name when entering the priesthood?
