It's not doing much for the African tourist industry. It looks like a hell hole.

The DRC doesn't have a tourist industry to ruin! It's been fought over by rival militias for years and women have been systematically raped, villages burned, people murdered. It's the very definition of a hell hole and not one where you'd go wandering into the jungle unarmed, which is why I think this series is so utterly ridiculous.

I am liking the girl soldier. I think she is a good actress.

Also loving the Icelandic man, seen him in a few things.

chickenalapesh · 18/04/2019 12:07

I wonder if will and the French girl had connections/possible affair.

Invisibleiink · 19/04/2019 09:38

I'm currently choosing to believe Will did not have an affair with anyone and (though may have to change my mind, I realise!)

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 19/04/2019 17:06

Complete with perfect pony tail

It was so swishy HmmGrin

Whoa, there's the actress from Benidorm.
Oh and now a vicious stabbing.

Groovee · 22/04/2019 21:15

I'm completely flummoxed by the first part. I'm sat on the ad break thinking wtf

Invisibleiink · 22/04/2019 21:19

At first i thought maybe o'brien was a con artist, hoping to get her hands on Alex Kingston's inheritance - but not sure why she's relevant now given what's happened in the last couple of minutes! Have we seen the attacker before?

She's alive?

PrincessScarlett · 22/04/2019 21:24

Well she won't get any answers from Belo now.

Invisibleiink · 22/04/2019 21:42

uh oh, was i right? I dont want to be!

englishmummyinwales · 22/04/2019 22:32

This programme is so weird. One minute I’m impressed by the plot twists and the next I’m rolling my eyes at Georgia’s success in outwitting a group of experienced armed mercenaries in an unfamiliar jungle.I mean, TWICE she ran across open ground and they didn’t see her, it’s ludicrous! Basically I enjoy each scene that Georgia isn’t in and ridicule the rest. I still want to know how it’s all going to play out though!

Last nights was very complex. So ALEX k has been lying to Georgia whole time

I’m asssuming after her gay fling with hospice worker and heart broken that she thought sod it. She will trade and earn money

So she obv knew peter had will and lied

Again prob lying over the affair

Georgia killed Peter - rescued the girl and now is going to find who stabbed her with CHARLES dance her godfather?

Why was she stabbed ?

SimonJT · 23/04/2019 08:34

She was stabbed as she knows what happened on the flight.

Last night was so confusing. I didn't have a clue what was going on!

NumbersStation · 23/04/2019 20:00

I might be utterly thick but was Will being kept safe by Bello? Is his 'death' staged at his own request?

The lady Rambo bit is too far fetched for me. She would have been toast in two minutes.

Invisibleiink · 23/04/2019 20:13

Bello suggested Will was safer hidden - but in that case why take him to the riot/demo, out in public?

I don't think we know that Alex Kingston knew Will was alive, or what happened on the plane, do we? She was involved in the same scam as the French woman, providing workers to take coltan across the border, and that involved knowing Bello, but I'm not sure he ever told her about Will. But I may be wrong!

No idea why she was murdered though - had she threatened to end the business arrangement and go to the authorities? Perhaps we'll find out next episode.

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 23/04/2019 20:29

Or we'll just all be even more confused than we are now 😂😂

NumbersStation · 23/04/2019 21:47

Could Will have accidentally been caught in the demo and Bello went in to rescue him?

I'm clutching at coltan here.
