The Child in Time

[RhiannonOHara]

On on Sunday night. Anyone interested?

I haven't read the book but I do like a bit of Cumberbatch.

Not sure I can watch this. Agree about series one of the missing. When the mum was getting remarried and imagined her little boy in the room. Oh god. Welling up just thinking about that scene.
Can you imagine never knowing what had happened to your child?

this is crud innit

they are far too cheery

It's actually a bit shit and dull.

Wtf is going on with his friend??

This is not what I thought.....but then I didn't really know what to expect. The trailer gave me goosebumps but at the moment I'm a bit

Shades of Don't look now, particularly with the yellow coat

Benedict is outacting every other person in the story.
Poor Kelly McDonald . She doesn't stand a chance against him.

Being Scottish I really dislike her accent. It's what my kids call drama school Scottish. John Hannah does it too. I can't understand how real Scottish people manage to sound fake !

That dinner at his parents ' house looks good

The parents of the missing girl aren't convincing as a couple

I know lunch I was thinking that too!

I'm confused already! Why aren't the police investigating the little girl's disappearance?

I like KM’s blue coat

And that bit in the remote cottage... so they've split up but have slept together??

The teacher from The History Boys appears to be having a break down, with his wife looking on

Having just read plot of the book online it's set 2 years in the future. Not sure how we were meant to know that?

I wondered why they weren’t looking for her but I think it’s just about their life in general after she had disappeared, I doubt there will be a conclusion, it’s a bit slow.

I assume it is some time later

His tidying up his garden on tv!! 😫

I think the lack of hullabaloo was to help us know that quite some time has passed

Yeh but it wasn't obvious. It's really boring and slow.

Thanks, I am rubbish with plots!

luncharmstrong I don't get the cumberbatch love he is so wooden. He only has two facial expressions.

I suppose it’s like real life, a bit dull, I’m obviously watching too much Dr Foster and Liar

*Being Scottish I really dislike her accent. It's what my kids call drama school Scottish. John Hannah does it too. I can't understand how real Scottish people manage to sound fake ! *

Can we add David Tennant to your list too?
He spent so long being English in stuff, I no longer believe his Scottish accent is real!

I had high hopes for this but it's actually really boring

I'm lost, who is the guy in the woods and how is he connected to the government?
