So far so good... seems to be trying to be Scott & Bailey, which could be a good thing

No, just come on in and take anything you want!! No cameras here for you to worry about or cctv seeing as you parked right outside!!

MrsSiba · 12/12/2017 21:49

Does anyone know where this is filmed?

Looked like the court Tom Fraser was standing in front of was in Manchester.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 21:50

Manchester and Yorkshire I think

MrsSiba · 12/12/2017 21:53

Thanks Fish

BitOfFun · 12/12/2017 21:54

What's Fat Robbie Williams been in before? I'm sure I know that face.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 21:55

They’re a sociable lot aren’t they ?

Wish I went out half as much.

BitOfFun · 12/12/2017 21:57

Did Bancroft not notice the brunette with the ponytail when she said she was fed up with being the only woman on the team?

Janus · 12/12/2017 21:58

Oh ffs, why would she kiss him in front of her boyfriend’s mother (who is also her boss).

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 21:58

She’s obviously a total fool.

Janus · 12/12/2017 22:00

Thought exactly the same bitof!

BitOfFun · 12/12/2017 22:01

Ker-Ching! DH just said that Bancroft would be one of the guests. God, this is bad.

I should think I'll still watch it though Grin

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 22:03

I think Bancroft had an affair with the murder victim.

The bite was supposed to indicate a sexual crime or sexual involvement.

The father said his daughter didn’t really love the guy she married. Maybe because she was gay ?

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 22:04

But we are supposed to think Bancroft ha a thing for the husband but actually it was the wife.

Janus · 12/12/2017 22:04

Knew she’d turn up there. I think she was having an affair with him so thought if she killed her he’d go to her.

redshoeblueshoe · 12/12/2017 22:04

Yes you can just hear her singing It should have been me !

darksideofthemooncup · 12/12/2017 22:07

This is so stupid but I love it. The bit when she stepped out of the lift and dramatically threw back her hood like a pantomime villain had me howling with laughter.
Can't wait for tomorrow Grin

I think Bancroft had an affair with the murder victim.

A couple of times ive got the sense that they hinting towards lesbian attraction. The scene in ep1 when blonde detective is tending to Bancrofts injury was the first instance.

Could be nothing though! I am disapointed with this. It has been tense at times but i was expecting more of a mystery. None of the characters particularly likeable, apart from the forensic scientist lady, she seems nice!

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 22:18

That’s kind of what made me think as well. She’s also seeing the murder victim in Stevens. Which is creepy.

And the scene where she asked before the funeral “How do I look ?” And Stevens fiddled with her clothes was a bit bizarre as well.

Mind you so is taking your employee back to your house for pizza and trying to set them up with your son. Confused

SleepIsForTheWeek · 12/12/2017 22:21

Awful programme, really dull. But I want to know what happens now so will keep watching Grin
Did anyone notice the continuity error when Stevens got a strike but there was still a pin standing up?

MissWimpyDimple · 12/12/2017 22:24

It's annoying me that Stevens and the murder victim have such similar hair.

Both quite high maintenance hair too - so Stevens spends the time boofing and curling her hair every morning?!

BitOfFun · 12/12/2017 22:34

I think it's deliberate that DS Stevens looks a bit like the victim, so that Bancroft gets all weird over her. I agree with the lesbian subtext comments too- I wondered about that when Bancroft told her that Stevens was passed over for the team because she would stand out, being a pretty young woman.

I have to say that I'll be disappointed if they go down the whole psychotic lesbian route though- it's a very lazy and unpleasant trope.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 22:41

The whole this has been a bit lazy really.

I feel sorry for Joe. He is way too close to his mother. Will put his future partners right off.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 12/12/2017 22:42

Can not believe they haven’t worked it out yet.

The possible cover up/negligence and the suspicion towards Bancroft - keeping quiet about still investigating-and the only other person who knew about the forensics was..,Bancroft.

And they still don’t see it.

BitOfFun · 12/12/2017 22:45

Yes- I find it rather odd that a qualified physiotherapist (that's his job, isn't it?) can't afford his own place in the north of England. Especially if he complains of his mother sabotaging his relationships. Big drip.

keepitasecret · 12/12/2017 22:46

And she checked out hers sons butt when he was showering?!
