Now in s3

Susan Ryeland returns to England and works on a continuation manuscript titled "Pünd's Last Case" by a troubled young author.

The 1955-set story takes place in Corfu and hides the identity of a real killer, drawing Susan into a new murder case where she becomes a suspect.

Lesley Manville returns as Susan Ryeland and Tim McMullan returns as literary detective Atticus Pünd.

New cast members include Jamie Blackley, Patricia Hodge, and Zubin Varla.

Tv pace thread, only on episode 2.

Aaah watching episode 2 now it makes more sense why they’ve cast Mark Bonnar in an American accent role in the Atticus Pund book. Such a contrast to the well acted dad in Susan Ryeland’s universe. The awkward explanation of why Achilles speaks perfect English shows up the hammy author, so I guess the hammy American is meant to show Eliot’s hammy writing too.

I got the info about future series from this Reddit AMA with the author Anthony Horowitz. https://www.reddit.com/r/MasterpiecePBS/comments/1wsikft/hi_reddit_im_author_and_screenwriter_anthony/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MasterpiecePBS/comments/1wsikft/hi_reddit_im_author_and_screenwriter_anthony/

Not sure what the Mile End mysteries are @HorseandHeron. Assuming you seen all 6 so no spoilers please

I enjoy the way the acting goes hammy in the ‘book’ parts. I hope it’s as much fun for the actors as it looks - go to Corfu and ham it up.

According to the reddit link, AH is in the process of writing the Mile End mysteries.

I am late to the party. I have started watching Marble Hall and really love it so I am going to watch the other series.

I found the first episode quite confusing because there were so many characters (and I was confused about Susan speaking to Atticus Pund) so I watched it again with my husband and everything fell in to place.

Ah thanks

yes it’s slightly confusing and have to watch and not scroll /fiddle

but it’s good

You definitely need to concentrate on it.

Yes and Patricia Hodge being in both stories doesn't help!

Yes, love the beautiful green flat.

The person in charge of the set obviously likes green as Elliot's kitchen has a similar green.

a lot of the actors are in both stories, but not all, at least not so far.

Yes they usually have 2/3 act in the past and present

Ive watched all of them and enjoyed them but always slightly puzzled by her character, is she supposed to be generally annoyed/hacked off ? I’m all for a woman not putting up with any crap or having to be nice all the time but she sometimes seems antagonistic with no real reason.

TorroFerney

Yes, i think she is quite grumpy.

I find her relationship with her sister rather strange. When she saw her nephew she said "you look a bit sweaty!"

And she never wanted to answer questions about her and Andres but was cross her sister hadn't told her about her divorce.

E3 tonight

Watched at 5am as couldn’t sleep. It’s on too late for me anyway.

I will watch tonight. Meant to last night but it’s on too late for me to concentrate

Recap e3

https://reelmockery.com/marble-hall-murders-series-1-episode-3-recap/

What did you think @Blondeshavemorefun ? I’m about to start it

Shaping up nicely I thought.

Def intriguing. I’m not sure what Elliot thinks killed his nan

but someone obv thinks he does with the ending of last nights e3

the adopted boy /man seems holds grudges with his bedroom

could he be the killer

I don’t think it is hubby Elmer

I don’t understand the change of clothes Either

Husband Elmer seems too obvious. Agree about the adopted man.

Will watch episode 4 on iPlayer on Thursday, probably, as away from Friday to Monday. Otherwise on return. Will see what I get a chance to do. As also Strictly to watch.

So many clashes

E4 tonight

Someone trying to set Susan up. Who though? One of the family? Not binged, this one. Have loved it and want to savour it.

Yes someone def stole her car and hit him

I didn’t expect him to die one we saw him in hospital

the white blank page at end was amusing

The man who had the key who is the ‘dad’ of baby - is that the adopted man

sure I have face blindness at times as get confused who is who

he seems dodgy and if he is the adopted one - that’s who I said the other week I think is the killer
