For those who loved it last time, will you watch after the let down of the ending? (Well I felt it was a let down, don't think there was a proper conclusion at all and still room for doubts as to whether he was still alive or not).

I loved it though and will definitely be watching the next series. I've seen the trailer and it looks very very good. Julian (think that was his name) is still in it. Looks like it is based on JayCee Dugard/Elizabeth Fritz type cases where they have gone missing as children and reappeared years later.

Cannot wait!

I too hope it's more complex how all these people interlink and are connected to it rather than a paedophile ring

MiddleClassProblem · 24/10/2016 09:46

Also think it's too obvious too early

cantstopeatingtoday · 24/10/2016 10:45

I'm think Peadophile Ring.
The Whisterblower (young man at funeral's dad) was sent to a worn torn, extremely dangerous y area on purpose - as a legit way of getting rid of him and therefore silencing him.
There was a bomb explosion, in which some soldiers were killed, one was burnt beyond recognition).
The person Jean Paul (young man's dad?) swapped identities with the badly burned, unrecognizable solder, resulting in the wrong soldier being buried.
(could also tie in with 'alice's dad's burns somehow).

As you can see my mind's been working overtime Grin

cantstopeatingtoday · 24/10/2016 10:46

Should say the person Jean Paul was looking for

cantstopeatingtoday · 24/10/2016 10:50

Right , not even Jean Paul, it's Julian, duh.

Lets start again:

'Im thinking Peadophile Ring.
There was a Whisterblower (young man at funeral's dad) and he was sent to a worn torn, extremely dangerous area on purpose - as a legit way of getting rid of him and therefore silencing him.
There was a ineveitable bomb explosion in which people were killed, one was burnt beyond recognition).
The person Julian has gone looking for (young man's dad?) possibly swapped identities with the badly burned, unrecognizable solder, resulting in the wrong soldier being buried. It will have stopped the paedos looking for him.
(could also tie in with 'alice's dad's burns somehow) also the fact there is a headstone for Alice.

There's the wrong body in one of those coffins, possibly even both.

As you can see my mind's been working overtime

I really don't have the brain capacity on this sleep deprivation but I feel like there might be something there to do with the pregnant woman and the family.... going back to before the disappearance?
Anyone else?
My brain hurts this afternoon I just can't piece it together.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/10/2016 17:31

Anyone post a pic of Alice and Sophie

I don't rem seeing that they look alike

tho I am blonde and preg

MiddleClassProblem · 24/10/2016 19:20

Lol I think we are taking baptiste's word for it mainly but we have seen a pic and that clip of Sophie.

LarkDescending · 24/10/2016 20:32

Episode 1 recap with photo of Sophie

MermaidTears · 24/10/2016 20:58

Anyone clock on to batiste saying to 'alice'. "I'm very sorry for what happened to your mother". .....in there words. She's really Sophie and hes sorry her mum killed herself?

HarryPottersMagicWand · 24/10/2016 21:48

He was saying to Alice about Sophie's mum and said about what happened to her, he was trying to get a reaction out of her to see if she would ask more questions. Obviously it wouldn't mean anything to Alice but it would to Sophie. She wouldn't have even known that her mum had died, unless it had been in the papers and the captors showed her. But given she is in Germany not France that's probably unlikely.

It's probably a double bluff. They are making us think she is Sophie, the mum and Baptiste spend all this time and effort working it out and it turns out it was Alice all along. Maybe.

I don't think it's Sophie. It's too early so a red herring. I also wondered whether Brig (can't believe he's Sarah and duck man, going to keep quacking through tomorrow's episode) may have been abusing his daughter and it's his child she's carrying.

MiddleClassProblem · 25/10/2016 23:44

Maybe Brig isn't a paedophile but sourced Alice to the abductor somehow due to some form of debt that occurred in Iraq?

McButtonwillow · 26/10/2016 21:01

Looking forward to tonight- I have absolutely no theories but enjoying reading all of yours 😀

secondhoneymoon · 26/10/2016 21:12

Struggling already!!

SouthWestmom · 26/10/2016 21:21

Quick just got in from stroppy teenage drop off - got to Daniel and the girl at the barracks

What did I miss?

SouthWestmom · 26/10/2016 21:23

I don't think it's Alice or Sophie. That's why she has the tattoo and the finger thing

FabulouslyGlamourousFerret · 26/10/2016 21:23

Is the Brig 'Alices' grandad then?

Lilaclily · 26/10/2016 21:24

But Alice did have a tattoo? Arrgghhh!

SouthWestmom · 26/10/2016 21:27

Yes I think the imposter copied both depending on who she was going to be

Lilaclily · 26/10/2016 21:29

Oh yes of course, sorry !
So what do we think of the soldier?

TheSpottedZebra · 26/10/2016 21:29

Are the man's burns fro rescuing the Brigadier and not AliceSophie?

Roygrace · 26/10/2016 21:30

I'm so confused

TheSpottedZebra · 26/10/2016 21:30

Oh, or maybe he set himself alight?

GreenGinger2 · 26/10/2016 21:33

Creepy
