Unforgotten

[LucasLeesEyebrows]

I saw a trailer for this the other evening but DC were running around and being loud so I missed most of it. Does anyone know when it’s starting please? I don’t want to miss it as it’s brilliant!

• body parts obviously!

@OilBeefHooked

But there was a 4 way plug there- why did he unplug it?

Also - they were all very, very drunk so how did they come up with a Cunning Plan that meant they got away with murder for 30 years?

I guess Liz - who seems to be incredibly intelligent - would be the brains behind it? She was sober enough to be allowed to drive the car home when ol’ foggy was arrested.

@NewModelArmyMayhem18 -it was Ram who didn't have a flashback as he shooed Sunny out of the door before the interview really started.

Liz had a flashback involving a police officer's whistle, a shower head, an airborne graduation mortar board, a car air freshener, a pub table and a swing.

Oh, thanks @FawnDrench. Got that totally wrong then.

Forgery blackmailing them makes sense particularly as he nee fed up losing his career while the others carried on as police officesrs (although obviously two left later).

Seems a bit too obviously/straightforward though.

*Fogerty blackmailing them

True. Does seem a tad unfair! Have they said what his career was like after the drink driving?

I think I’ll be watching the whole lot again just before the final episode. I don’t normally watch series like this twice (I’d love to but there is just so much more out there to watch!) but I want to refresh everything before getting to the end. I’m so unused to having to wait between episodes 😂

@NewModelArmyMayhem18

That there was a random extension cable nearby would suggest that the small freezer unit must have been plugged in for much of its time in the self-storage rental space? Strange that it had been recently unplugged?

So are we thinking that Fogarty was blackmailing all of them? Do we know what job he was doing before he died? Maybe he was living off blackmail monies? Have they scrutinised his bank accounts yet?

Well observed to whoever noticed that Liz had no flash memories (unlike the others).

Just rewatched it. Liz did have flash memories

Sorry, now see someone already pointed that out.

In my rewatch it becomes even more clear how crap Liz did in her interview. She says she's never seen Fogerty before in her life then 2 minutes later calls him "Rob" after her miraculous recall of the nights events.

I've been really enjoying it! Love Nicola Walker.

@bendmeoverbackwards

I really like the theme music. It’s similar to the theme to The Missing, wonder if it’s the same composer?

I think "ethereal tv theme music" must be a genre of its own now, as the theme also reminds me of The Bridge

I don't think Fiona has a criminal record, but she had to give the BIL a reason why she wanted her name changed, so came up with that

I’m really intrigued about this Cracker character though! I never watched it myself.

It's excellent!

Didn’t she say she studied at Balliol? That’s an Oxford college

Ah yes, but she's based at Cambridge. I'm just being over pedantic!

For all those wondering about where they've seen actors before, you should get the IMDB app.

Although it's a veritable rabbit hole - warren.

Another freezer question. Why keep the torso freezer in your flat (or was it a garage, can’t remember) when you have a generously sized storage unit with electricity and an extension lead.

I love IMDb! Also less risky than googling sometimes - the other day I googled a show title and a character name and got a massive spoiler 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

It does sometimes spoil things though if a character dies, as it has the number of episodes they’re in, so that can give it away if it’s a smaller number than the number of episodes :o

I presume the body was in a bigger freezer and heavier so stayed in the same house but a small, er, head-sized fridge could be moved by Fogerty himself in the back of a car to the storage unit.

If a Skelton would be a putrid puddle on the floor of blood ski etx

In flash backs did I see Opal fruits or similar

They are such small memories like 3 secs

Didn’t one of them say all were drink

But Liz said she didn’t drink and hence why drive the car back

Swings and Opal Fruits smack of childhood? Do we think their inter-connectedness pre-dates joining the Police?

To keep them apart? Though they are associated to the same name so that's a bit daft.

Mind you it worked our for him for 30 years, so maybe not that daft.

Actually, wait he only had that storage for eight years (not sure when the eight years started either) so where were the head and hands for the other two decades and a bit?

Here are the flashbacks (to have them on the thread) cutosy of the Guardian:

Liz Baildon
There’s a shower head, an airborne graduation mortar board, a car air freshener, a pub table and a swing.

Fiona Grayson
An intriguing montage of Mexican rum, broken glass on a car seat, blood spots on a certificate of accreditation for counselling and psychotherapy, and Fiona engaging in a drunken knee tremble.

Dean Barton
We’ve got a passport stamp, a leather strap being wrapped around a fist, two people dishing out a kicking to a hapless victim and, most disturbingly of all, a packet of Opal Fruits (Starburst to younger viewers).

I really fancy an Opal Fruit now.

They were made to make your mouth water, fresh with the tang of citrus and in four refreshing fruit flavours.

I'm sure they lost their juiciness when they became "Starburst"

(WHY? Just WHY? )

I was right 😂😂😂

@CherryValanc very impressed - I did try rewinding but so quick

What about ram. No flashbacks yet
