9 BODIES IN A MEXICAN MORGUE - sat 9.30pm bbc 1 - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I’ve been waiting for this

meant to be very good

The BBC has released the transmission date for Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue – the six-episode series from the mind of Anthony Horowitz.

Starts next Saturday

In the six-part series, a plane carrying a small group of passengers, crew and pilot, crashes in the Mexican jungle.

All the bodies are recovered and placed in a morgue… but it turns out that only one of them died in the crash.

The other passengers were murdered afterwards, each one in a unique way.

But by whom?

And why? As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, the many dangers of the jungle… and each other.

The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic as, one by one, they are dispatched with a series of shocks that bring us ever closer to the truth and – at the very end – a jaw-dropping reveal.

The ensemble cast includes Eric McCormack (Will & Grace, Perception), David Ajala (Star Trek: Discovery) as Zack; Lydia Wilson (The Swarm) as Sonja; Peter Gadiot (Yellowjackets) as Carlos; Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) as Lisa; Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Tourist) as Travis; Adam Long (Happy Valley) as Dan, and Jan Le (The Capture) as Amy. Filming recently started in the Canary Islands.

Could you explain your rationale to me please blondes, as I didn't come to that conclusion at all?
Though, I should say, I don't have an alternative theory to offer either at this point.

I’m prob totally wrong but we aee someone near the end in the jungle and call from a phone.

That is the same make of phone that the girl he as was in the car in e1 runs to answer in a home

plus he/someone was in the plane at night with a light obv looking for something

Well, your attention to detail should earn you a job in MI5 @Blondeshavemorefun - unless, you already work for them.
I missed those details completely, though I did wonder who the woman on the phone was.
Naively, I thought it was one of them phoning a wife/friend to say "alert the authorities love - the plane's crashed".

I try my best @Wingedharpy 😂

I've seen this title advertised but I didn't find it very appealing. Now you've explained it a bit I'm intrigued and will take a look. Thanks

Hope you enjoy @Happygirl79. Watch 1&2 and join us for 3 next sat

Oh I didn’t realise the man mountain that is Olafur Darri Olafsson was in it. Might have to watch!

Man mountain ?

She's the famous chef in Amandaland.

Have you not seen him? He’s a big bloke!

Sister Michael in Derry Girls.

Bearded bloke husband to amandaland blonde lady ?

Apparently so. He sounds American but he’s Icelandic. he’s also been in The Tourist, Severance, The Widow and The Missing, and he was the narrator in Boat Story. He starred in a great Icelandic series called Trapped.

Edited as I see this has been cleared up.

Oh yes. The tourist. I liked that.
He did look kinda familiar

I’ve binged it on iplayer so will just mark my place until the run has finished ✅

He was also in Somebody Somewhere, which was a terrific comedy/heart wrenching series. He was in the third and final series.

E3 tonight 9.15

the survivors work out how to call for help

Poor Carlos

If none of them are the killer wouldn't there be 10 bodies?

Personally I'm suspicious of Lisa.

Guessing Dan is not actually a lawyer but an ex fraudster.

Who unplugged the signal?

Good point @saveforthat

we see the figure. It’s not lisa as she is too plump and Amy is too petit

so leaving the

photographer girl

Doctor
Dan limo husband of Amy
insurance man

took a while for them to get to the signal place so needs to be someone who keeps disappearing

so I’m saying either photographer lady Sonja or the insurance man Zack

Re the possibly questionable accents - it would be amusing if one of them was not the actor being bad at accents, but the character faking it.
