Deadwater Fell

[CassandrasCastle]

Has anyone watched this?

[Bunnybigears]

Though lack of mouth to mouth was anomalous

I'm not 100% but wasnt there a TV campaign with Vinny Jones where they didnt bother explaining the rescue breaths just the chest compressions. The thinking being people are hesitant to give rescue breaths but at least if they are doing christ compressions something is better than nothing.

What did DT say to his wife just before she flounced off the beach? I rewound it twice but couldn’t make it out.

[LaBelleSauvage123]

My guess is the mother in law dunnit. She looks shifty.

[imnottoofussed]

What was it the mother (brown haired woman) said in the hospital at David Tennants bedside to the other woman (think it might have been the dead wife's mother?) did she say something like we'd be better off if he just went?

[MadeForThis]

I suspect the head teacher was previously in a relationship with Kate. That's why he said that GP was responsible. Possibly a childhood thing. Or he hates GP because he is secretly abusive to Kate. He hissed quite angrily at her on the beach.

All 3 girls ran off the beach and no sign of disability at that point. Wheelchair could be a result of the car crash.

[baggies]

No, Charlotte was carried by her mum along the beach.

@MadeForThis good spot re. Child able to run around at the beach!

So maybe Kate wracked with guilt after that? But enough to prompt familial murder suicidal?

I’m leaning towards Tom being abusive. Simon and Kate have some kind of relationship but it’s hard to define what.

I took that woman’s comment to mean he’d be better off dead, as in all his loved ones are so he would rather die. But thinking about it, I can’t remember how she worded it!

[Inappropriatefemale]

It’s too obvious that DTs character is responsible one episode in, it could well be the policeman!

[TitsInAbsentia]

Too easy to be DT at this early stage so feel we are being led there. Disliked the prompting that because the dead woman (sorry, no good with character names this early on) was responsible just because she had depression and anxiety

Still doesn't answer why the bedroom door was padlocked - and are we led to believe all three girls were in the same bedroom?

[StuckBetweenDarknessAndLight]

Just placemarking, too late to contribute but looking forward to tomorrow having some clarity on what has happened thus far thanks to this thread!

[peanutfoldover]

You see, I think we’re being led to think Kate did it. Which is why I’m thinking DT. Or am I just missing a double bluff?

[longwayoff]

Watched half of part one. Dreary and confusing.Took dog for walk instead.

I was wondering about the headteacher. But not sure how the injections fit in.

Mum was in the hall, dad in the bed and we aren't clear where the three children were. There was a locked room, but it had one single bed covered in plastic sheeting.

[Trews2019]

Though much credit to the actor playing the firemen carrying out the body bag it was gut wrenchingly realistic

I know it’s for dramatic effect but it was completely unbelievable that he would just leave the 3 bodies on the floor and just walk off. Surely there would be ambulances/specialist vehicles waiting to remove them straight away.

[MadeForThis]

The policeman character is their best friend. Surely he would know the layout of the house. Would he not rescue the children first? Didn't see him look for the girls.

If he's not involved I imagine the next episode will focus on his guilt at who he pulled out.

[EggysMom]

"Hands only CPR" is now an acceptable option for a lay person in an emergency situation.

[Aquestionforyouall]

So the room with the bed which was padlocked. Was it one or all of the girls room or was it unused? I was under the impression she’d padlocked the girls or one of them at least in their room but maybe not?

[MrsPelligrinoPetrichor]

I enjoyed it, didn't find out hard to follow at all. I hate waiting a week for the next episode though.

Teacher was undergoing ivf so she was having injections.

Wrt chest compressions,it's taught now to just do chest compressions and not mouth to mouth unless instructed by a medical bod as people are less likely to have a go at resuscitation in case they 'get it wrong' with number of breaths to compressions.

I think the majority of people on this thread must've been on the left over Xmas sherry if they were getting so confused watching this

[TroysMammy]

What was the significance of an unknown person setting out bits and bobs on a table? I saw a couple of letter birthday candles and a beige container being unzipped.

[imnottoofussed]

With the locked room I thought it had just one bed and I was thinking it looked like some sort of show room or shrine type room so maybe was locked because a previous child died and it was their room? But then if she only just bought the lock probably not. I was also unclear why the policeman was suddenly looking at cctv of Kate buying/stealing a lock, how did he know what date and time to watch the cctv.

Then Kate and David tennant were both fully dressed and in different rooms so clearly hadn't gone to bed so what were they doing. The policeman and girlfriend were asleep.

All had injection marks in the crook of their elbow which if they are awake surely they would have been struggling and an attacker wouldn't have been able to inject them so easily in exactly the same place each.

[Bunnybigears]

The policeman character is their best friend. Surely he would know the layout of the house.

It's possible to get disorientated in a dark smoke filled house even if it's your own house never mind someone else's house. Also I'm friends with lots of people but have never been upstairs in their house. So not unrealistic I think.

[SentimentalKiller]

It wasn't the lack of breaths with resus I noted. It was that she wasn't pushing on the chest at all. She was just flexing her elbows, giving them a gentle work out

[Squigean]

Well that is absolutely true @Trews2019, though that on viewing - after the actor had managed to display such emotion the character leaving them on the ground and walking off was odd!!! Though in really rural areas there isn't an abundance of ambulances to hand (well at least the country I live. Never had first-hand experience of dead bodies being brought out of a house (thankfull) so don't what happens).

@Aquestionforyouall I got the impression it was unused (due to the plastic sheeting). In fact did anyone mention the girls where locked into a room?

@MadeForThis I'm almost certain he said something about not knowing where they would be. Made me think perhaps few people or no one went upstairs in that house.
