THE NEST - BBC 1- SUNDAY 9pm

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Starts tonight. Looks good

When two sides of Glasgow collide when a teenage girl makes a pack with a wealthy couple

Dan and Emily live in a stunning house by the edge of a lake and have everything they ever dreamed of

Apart from a child

Years of struggling and many failed ivf

Kaya has no money or job but offers to be their surrogate

It’s quickly becomes apparent that the baby pact has a destructive effect .......

God seems I missed lots reading replies

Will try and watch again

They said the wife was from 'down south'.

He only found out about the murder after she had suggested the name Neve.

It could be plausible that it's Emily's (?) sister who was murdered BUT that would only put it as 7 years ago in the shows timeline, I would assume they'd been together at least a few years. Surely he would know that her sister was murdered whilst pregnant and have put two and two together?

I think 7 years is right if Kaya is 18 now and murdered them at age 11?

I assumed couple been together for years but maybe met just after the murder so never met sister

Really enjoyed episode 2! Wish I didn't have to wait so long until the next one

The only authentic Glasgow accents are Martin Compston, his sister and David Hayman. The surrogates accent is east coast and way off. The journalist who is from Lewis has a Glasgow accent not a Lewis accent. I also find the accents/grammar and dialect very dumbed down

Martin Compston must be some sort of accent wizard. All those wordy scenes in Line of Duty and he never once lets his real accent come through.

DH and I have been watching Line of Duty together during lockdown (I've seen it before: he hasn't) and he was amazed by Steve Arnott's accent when I told him that he was played by the same actor as the guy in The Nest, and that he was using his own accent in the latter!

I love the fact that he now lives in Las Vegas - I wonder how they find his accent there?

I'd say the surrogate was more central Scotland than east coast. Certainly not Glasgow though. Kaya's neighbour who was dumped in the Clyde is DEFINITELY an authentic Glaswegian and has quite a ned accent.

I agree the actor playing the journalist could have made more effort with her accent. The accents of people from the Islands are distinct and beautiful.

Surrogate sounds very like my cousin - who was born and raised in Falkirk ... doesn’t sound weegie at all . And certainly not someone who’s supposedly from Lewis either !!

Fantastic programme though, was the first time in weeks I hadn’t thought about Coronavirus for an hour .

I'm really enjoying it. If Kaya really was from Possilpark, you English viewers wouldn't understand a word
Love how the wee brother's accent is much stronger than his older brother's
at the poster who said the house is unsuitable for children. Wouldn't be my first thought, I must admit.

But Kaya is presumably from Lewis. Although I imagine her accent changed a bit in prison.

Quite possibly, if she was in Cornton Vale/Polmont ! I may be over thinking this ...

True.

That was my thoughts too but couldn't remember the name of the women's prison. I doubt very much they went into that much detail though!

Rewatched without mn or toddler In background

I did miss a lot - obv shouldn’t multitask 😂

So surrogate was neeve who killed A lady when she 11 who was preg

We assume baby died

But might be the child The sw had

The older man is the lawyer not dad /grandad to be

The nephew kissed the teenage surrogate

Sorry I’m rubbish with names

Hang on! Do I need to rewatch? I thought neve was the name of the lady she killed

Neve was the name of the woman killed. The video of her mum talking about it was called "mother of Neve Mcgills murderer"

Surely he would know if his wife's sister was murdered on the isle of Lewis when pregnant? Or her sisters name at least? The wife is English. Also if the journalist recognised Kaya surely the wife would?

I'm really enjoying it?

Also I thought when he told his sister he said the the woman and the baby were both killed.

I thought Neve was the murderer and it was just dodgy punctuation as in "mother of Neve Mcsomething, murderer"

It makes sense that it would be the name of the Woman she killed, The tattoo combined with it being her necklace she wears she’s clearly obsessed with her and that’s what makes her unhinged.
Really don’t think it’s a relation of the couple.

But Kaya is presumably from Lewis. Although I imagine her accent changed a bit in prison.

A West Coast islands accent probably wouldn't shift to sound like her central belt accent even if it changed due to being in prison or whatever. They're very different from one another.

I recognise the Dans sister Hilary- She played a sergeant in Soldier Soldier.

I can’t believe I almost deleted these and wasn’t going to bother
Really enjoying it now

The social worker guy was in the victim with Kelly Macdonald last year he was really good in that
