The Fall - tonight 9pm BBC2

[sleep envy]

The pathologist's friend at Uni had a fling with Paul, he called himself Pete/Peter at that time.

WRT to his car: he said it was stolen and torched off camera. HTH.

As I live in Belfast I find it really annoying that they keep filming shots past the City Hall repeatedly.

I keep pausing Sky+ to see if it was a designated day and if the "Fleg" was up.

Brilliant TV show.

A previous victim while at university came forward - she was the friend of the medic I think.

Still, Luther next month...

Yes! Just watching the 1st series on Alibi, I missed it first time around, saw the 2nd though which was excellent.

[birdcage]

Needed a two hour finale. Fair play for them not getting GA somehow locked in his hideout which would have been obvious but last episode was a fail. A new series with a new plot.

Ripper street was better in IMHO an end every week with some nice rolling sub plots

[vxr8mate]

Struck me that they could have ended it there had there not been the go ahead for a second series. We would have musing,'did she catch him' or 'did he get away to a new life with his Mrs?'

The last scene where he's running through the streets of what I presume to be the place in Scotland they ended up at looks like it was cobbled together when they received the go ahead for the next installment.

[JuniorD]

So he walks into the cop shop, is interviewed, has weak alibi corroborated by wife, leaves a sample of handwriting, consents to finger printing, is probably recorded so also voice sample, is seen by Gillian Anderson, and looks not unlike the artists impression, calls the incident line and leaves another voice sample...and still they haven't put two and two together?

Yup, the police ombudsman will have a field day.

That was the centre of belfast he was running through.

I like endings that aren't pat.

My wife complained it wasn't resolved, but both myself and my daughter liked the doubt.

Did he really stop (seems unlikely), did he get away with it(possibly, but probably not), will his wife just accept his story (maybe... for now), will he come to a sticky end at the hands of the paramilitary psychos(Hopefully)?

The whole arc of the police shooting story, though, seemed fairly aimless, unresolved and (dare I say it) pointless...

That would make sense as it offers them the chance to finish the bent cops story.

Just finished watching this. On the whole I enjoyed it. First episode was mega boring, not much really happens and how many shots does it take to show Gillian Anderson's character living out of a suitcase? But it's fascinatingly grim at times.

Yup, the police ombudsman will have a field day.

Also the guy who picked up the phone in the incident room was the same guy who interviewed him so wouldn't he would have recognised the voice?

Why did the babysitter steal the photo? I would have thought she would have used it to shop him to the police either out of spite and/or the genuine suspicion considering he came back home with a bloody head.

The cliffhanger is good in principle but I'm not sure about the execution.

Before the new series, BBC2 are repeating the first series on Sundays.

Last Sunday, 26 October 2014, they showed the first three episodes and the final two will be shown on Sunday 2 October 2014.

You can catchup with them on the BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00wrk43/the-...

I watched the first three and really enjoyed them - nice, tight storyline and well acted too.

[ooo000ooo]

My boss's car should be in the background of one of the scenes, they were filming in the car park a local hotel he was having lunch in and followed them up the road while they were shooting. (corrs corner hotel)

Anyone living in Belfast knows the locations and the last episode just didn't add up, within' a minute he'd gone for a run from his house to the city centre and back again.

Paul lives in a terrace street, which is Rugby Road behind Queens University and Botanic Gardens, he's a social worker and she's a nurse

These houses are upwards of £500k

Goes for a run through the city centre in the middle of the night here

that's around three miles

It's not real

[drab]

Looking forward to this! I thought it was really really good

[thetapeworm]

This passed me by when it was on the first time around, we caught up with it over the past couple of weekends. Very enjoyable on the whole.

Ding dong!
