The Replacement - BBC1

[southeastdweller]

Anyone else planning on watching this three-parter that starts tonight at 9?

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08h625c

And the proximity to Greggs wasn't right

It was Hutcheson's Bar and Brasserie for the interiors of the pub scenes. Just because they filmed a character walking along the road and entering a pub near Buchanan St, doesn't mean the interiors were filmed in hte same place.

Ah right fair enough tinfoil hattie i thought it was the CH

More annoyances: leukaemia or no, why would Georgia have hot and run instead of stopping? Can't think how Ellen got the car started either as when she tried to hotwire it the battery appeared disconnected.

They switch locations all the time when filming - if you've ever seen Trainspotting there are some very recognisable Glasgow places like the Volcano club which are all supposed ot be in Edinburgh.

Diddl I've got Ellen's boots too! Clarks?!

The blonde girl in the office was also wearing an H&M top of mine...

Just watched the finale. A lot of ridiculousness, but top prize goes to the husband for putting a baby on a windowsill 😂

I wondered how plausible it would be that the husband would apply for and get full custody of the baby and then what happened at the end, did they get back together?

It was weird though the Georgia woman being included.

And agreed with the rest of you, Ellen has to have some superhuman strength after the Valium/sleeping pills to not only kick windscreen in but hot wire the car.

I only know of one other woman who could potentially do this. And even then...

Yes i think baby on windowsil wins the silliness prize .

Tbf Ellen was meant to have pushed Paula so it is perfectly plausible the dad would get full custody. I think they seperated in the end Ellen was meant to have got rid of him maybe i think

Is this thread going to need a Replacement? It's getting long.

(See what I did there?)

Also how come the library was empty? Ok maybe it was a Sunday and it was closed, so how did both women get in to drop off and pick up baby?!

I thought I saw Hutchesons in some scenes!

Paula probably had keys from the build and she probably left the door open she probably wasn't expecting Ellen to go a bit Ateam and break out of the garage and find Lia before the police.

Still don't get the relevance of Georgia. Did she even need to be in the show?

Still don't get why Kay said she finally knew why things had got 'really shitty' around here. Any thoughts?

Ellen looked so fresh faced after her viagra overdose when she rocked up to the library.

As a pp said - why was Kay on the roof in the first place?

Another pp - yes the library was silent despite Ellen calling out for Kay. Surely you'd have heard at least a stir or a muffled voice....

This show has left me with so many questions ffs

Saw this great Twitter comment...properly made me laugh

"Ellen has 3 job offers. I'm betting at least 1 is from Kwik Fit"

Well that's three hours of my life I will never get back!

Have not rtft but just jumping on to say how disappointing that was, hats off to the super stylist though.

As a bereaved parent I can tell you I am sick of this shit, nae wonder having a dead child gets you the body swerve from Jo Public FFS!

Any psychologists on the thread? I am fairly certain someone this murderous was likely that way regardless and not as a result of a trauma - having a tv character shrink impose such sketchy analysis seemed very irresponsible to me.

The 'borrowed' lipstick too, all leading to nowhere. Pish.

and yes I know it is just a story, just fiction etc but there must have been an editor involved somewhere? Someone in charge of fact checking?

They need fired!
