Really? There was literally no way of knowing that from the script!

Ah it wasn't me missing it then, might have to stay away from the recaps

I thought he mentioned his Brother

wonder what happened years ago between them

Stephen Tompkinson - I thought he was billy connerly 😂😂 he looked familiar but couldn’t place him ha ha

Will they fingerprint the cats and find fil prints

did we see him sign the parcel - said in recap they had a pic

if left next door our delivery man will say left at no 30 for example on card

Brother mentioned ep 2 but a lot of inference required to figure out that was him at the bar.

I didn't know it was St Clair's brother

I am only just catching up with the thread and missed the mentioning of his brother a few days ago. Makes sense now, thanks.

I do like the style of music at the end

Is this going to be a murder an episode?

Anyone think the spy cop could be a woman? I haven’t read the whole thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned

DH and I are invested in this now but what’s bothering me is this…..if the headteacher is the girl who was in flashback with young Robert Glenister, why does she look 20 years younger than him? I honestly thought Jacob had to be her son but it seems he’s her (philandering) partner. He looks too young as well!

I see he's managed to get past the phone security.

Why did they give a warning of suicide at the beginning?

Don Gilet is older (55) than he looks. His screen wife is 50.

Robert Glenister is 65

Sorry - Glenister is 62

Is it on next week?

I really dont understand what's going on 🤣 I've read up on the real life crimes its loosely on. Still don't get it xx

I'm really enjoying this, quite different from the usual gore fest and so glad we aren't seeing bodies on slabs cut from top to bottom.

The last two episodes are on next week
It is different and those arrows are horrible :(
I wonder if Helen is the spy ?
Some great acting from everyone.

Is Helen St Clair Dorothy Wordsworth?
And in an area of countryside so big that 100's of police fail to find either the archer or the train driver what a coincidence those 2 and 2 campers all end up in the same spot.

I like the solicitor. Spot on as to spycops. I remember the miners strike and the animosity of the NUM for the Notts miners who were clearly being encouraged/funded by fans of Maggie. If those divisions still exist it wouldn't surprise me, the Met police were famously brutal, bussed in with no family connections. And how topical. Boris doing an NUM lite today 🚂 This is reasonable tv drama.

Lindsay Duncan stole the whole show, fantastic scene with her as the NUM solicitor. Made me go a bit goose bumpy.

Yes I suggested mrs swallow ages ago. Or the dead mrs fisher!

I do wonder why the parents on their cruise are not back yet. Surely it would be on news and one can watch bbc news on cruises. Or get newspapers abroad. I assume the male must be the dead guys son (as daughters name is also Jackson) but why hide them? Is the mother going to be the illegitimate child of London guy and head teacher?

I’m finding this very interesting because I’ve not lived in the Uk for decades.

When the man in the care home quoted the poetry it reminded me that St Clair also quoted some poetry in the last episode I think it was. Is there any chance that he’s dodgy. Also thought the poetry recited in this episode spoke of someone building an empire out of misery and isn’t that what St Clair has done?
Dont mind me though if I’m talking nonsense 🙈

I think they’re going to walk in at the end and a lot is going to fall into place as a wee extra to the going’s on.

I wonder if the contestant on the pointless episode they showed very briefly on the tv recognized themselves! Would he get paid a fee ?
That was a strange scene plus I hate it went people put hot mugs onto a surface without a coaster ..
I know it was meant to be very serious , but it really was ' his behind you' moment with Andy and the arrow man. A gogglebox moment!
They really hate the Met police don't they ? Some things have never changed.
I am still confused by some of the relations and dynamics.

Why is Helen's file restricted ?
The one who shot himself was very dodgy , although not the spy I assume.
