Hopefully if I fill the first line or two with crap it won't show up any spoilers?

NOt my theory read iton OG but very interesting one

As we've realised, Frank Morgan played the Wizard of Oz in the 1939 film. Gene has nicknamed Sam 'Dorothy' before now... And someone else has already mentioned that Ray needs a heart, Chris needs a brain, Annie needs courage and Sam needs to get home.

you know, i think this might be the first show ever that i go out and buy a box set of. bet the bbc takes the opportunity to hump me for an absolute fortune.

Hulababy · 10/04/2007 22:02

Think DH is still a bit confused, bless him! I haven't been watching so can't clarify. So is Sam still in a coma in RL? Or has he died in RL? Is he now in 1973? And if he is now in 1973 - what will happen to the new future and Sam?

beansprout · 10/04/2007 22:02

Sorry, but can someone explain what I have just watched?!!!

Which bit was real and what was the jumping off about?
Was 2006 in his head??

glassslipper · 10/04/2007 22:02

wonder how many people watched it?

i missed the first series and might also go out and get it on dvd when it is released.

very impressed

GooseyLoosey · 10/04/2007 22:03

I am at work and missed it - can anyone summarise what happened?

lemonaid · 10/04/2007 22:03

You don't know for sure, which I think is the whole point. Probably I think 2006 is real but he is enjoying the fictional 1973 more. But I might change my mind tomorrow.

glassslipper · 10/04/2007 22:03

sam got out of his come but decided he 'preferred' his coma type life and so jumped off a building to get back there

glassslipper · 10/04/2007 22:04

'coma' even

kittypants · 10/04/2007 22:04

still dont quite get it.but twas good.

beansprout · 10/04/2007 22:04

That's what dh thinks, but it seems a bit high risk to jump off a building, after all, you could die?!!

Hulababy · 10/04/2007 22:04

So, how did he know jumping off the building would take him back?

Gobbledigook · 10/04/2007 22:05

LOL at 'can you explain it'!!

Twas utterly brill - I LOVED it!

booge · 10/04/2007 22:05

Probably should have ended when he jumped off the roof...but I'm glad it didn't.

Gobbledigook · 10/04/2007 22:05

|God girls, it's nto real, it's a programme!! Ha ha!

JackieNo · 10/04/2007 22:05

He wasn't feeling anything in 2006, and as the barman said, you know when you're alive if you're feeling something.

Gobbledigook · 10/04/2007 22:05

I thought that Booge. In a way I thought it would have been better.

Roobie · 10/04/2007 22:05

The music was fab - totally made it!

scatterbrain · 10/04/2007 22:06

Oh My God - that was fantastic !!!!

From what I understand he went back to 2006 as Morgan (his surgeon) managed to remove his tumour (Gene Hunt) - he was however bored back in 2006 and so committed suicide by jumping off the roof and went back to 1973 ! Wow !!

Very thought provoking !!

Can't help but feel that he could equally have ended up in another year though !!!

beansprout · 10/04/2007 22:06

That's what confused me - I assumed 2006 wasn't real and got lost from there.

MrsWho · 10/04/2007 22:06

What I understood-
in the tunnel Morgan tells sam to go to hyde, sam doesn't want to as rest of 1973 getting shot but gets sucked into the light anyway.
2007- Sam wakes up sees Morgan and his Mam, goes back to work talks to mam' I know you always keep your promises Sam', bored at work cut his thumb (doesn't feel alive) goes on the roof and jumps.
In the tunnel inthe dark back in 1973 , Sam saves the day by shooting him from Shameless/John Leslie/Leslie Johns, and feels alive again.
