as usual bloody iPlayer will have them all 🙄 so rem this is tv paced 😛😁

On the face of it, it looks like an unlikely story following a prisoner on death row in the United States, a vicar in a quiet English town, and a maths teacher trapped in a cellar.

What’s their connection, you may ask?

According to the synopsis, the story follows a US prisoner on death row (Tucci), who is seeking atonement as he faces execution. It continues: “On a train in England, a journalist (West) is looking for a story. In a quiet little village, a vicar (Tennant) is picking up his son’s maths tutor (Dolly Wells) from the station.

“All four are about to be entangled in a dilemma that could lead one of them to murder.”

And as the synopsis also states: “Everyone’s a murderer – you just need a good reason and a bad day.”

Like we said, this series has a star-studded cast. Tennant plays Harry Watling, Tucci plays Jefferson Grieff, West plays Beth Davenport while Dolly Wells (Pursuit Of Love) plays Janice Fife.

The cast also includes Lyndsey Marshal (Dracula), Atkins Estimond (Hightown), Mark Quarterly (Cursed), Tilly Vosburgh (Maigret), Louis Oliver (Midnight Mass), Kate Dickie (The Witch) and Dylan Baker (Hunters).

For those who mentioned David Tennant in these darker roles, he was in a programme "Secret Smile" a few years ago - it was excellent. And it appears to be on Amazon Prime.

Very boy in the striped pyjamas

Yes that's what it reminded me of

heartbroken22 · 03/10/2022 22:04

Any theories on the email? What has the vicars wife worked out?

Hope Janice slips on the stairs and cracks her head I.e accidental death she seems soooo evil...really disgusted by how much of a psychopath she is...manipulation etc etc...

the80sweregreat · 03/10/2022 22:05

Secret smile was based on a book by Nikki French. Which was very good.
He was good in it.

LOL what?! The vicar attacked her and has her locked in his cellar. And now, with his wife, is trying to murder her.

Of course she's fucking them over.

So the whole Janice skyping her sister everyday / email story was a lie too.. clever

So why did Stanley Tucci's helper on the outside also think she had a Skype call?

the80sweregreat · 03/10/2022 22:08

Who is the vicar protecting though ?

Something like... Janice never Skypes so the email cancelling will arouse suspicions? This is brilliantly done, so enjoying it.

I'm totally on Janice's side here!

She wanted to report what she thought was a paedophile.

The vicar locked her in the cellar.

His wife plotted ways to kill her.

The vicar actually DID try to kill her

I hope she gets away and they get their comeuppance.

The only thing I worry about is that Janice thins that Ben, the vicar's son, is the paedophile, and if she escapes he might get arrested and he's just your average bolshie teenager .

Celia24 · 03/10/2022 22:12

As soon as she said the Skype thing I thought it was made up. I'm not convinced she has a sister or at least not a living one.

Then again, it would only be a bad thing if the email address her message was sent to would alert suspicion.

newnamethanks · 03/10/2022 22:15

Argh. It's made my brain hurt. Roll on ep4 tomorrow.

the80sweregreat · 03/10/2022 22:08

His son, Ben - Janice thought he was a paedophile because of Edgar's flashdrive content which Ben (unaware of what dreadful stuff was on it) had claimed was his. She was going to contact the police.

snowballer · 03/10/2022 22:17

Is Janice maybe, er, Grieff's wife...?

Did he cut off the head of the person who was found so she wouldn't be identified as his actual wife for whatever reason?

I'm trying to think of what the connection is between him and the UK story

Goldpaw · 03/10/2022 22:18

So she needed to get a message out for some reason, and the message would alert whoever was at the other end that she was in a bit of a predicament?

And whoever receives that message can trace where it's sent from?

heartbroken22 · 03/10/2022 22:18

I don't like any of them. Just feel sorry for the poor son caught up in all of this.

His wife is from Surrey...

heartbroken22 · 03/10/2022 22:19

@snowballer I'm thinking the same 😂

Signeduptosimplyreplytothis · 03/10/2022 22:20

She's either Tuccis wife or sister in law. The big his wife being from Surrey thing is too big to let lie

Signeduptosimplyreplytothis · 03/10/2022 22:20

Did Janice commit the head cutting off murder and Tucci is covering for her? She seems a more plausible murderer than him

Norugratsatall · 03/10/2022 22:21

Anyone think that the email will go to Beth?

I don't. His hair is unforgivable even for a teenager

Mooserp · 03/10/2022 22:23

Ah so 'cancel the Skype call' is code for something else. Help?
And vicars wife said she'd cancelled before. So this isn't the first predicament Janice has been in

Emotionalsupportviper · 03/10/2022 22:23

I have to agree, @Signeduptosimplyreplytothis

There's teenage rebellion and there's this. Not acceptable.
