Where have I seen the hairy journalist fella before?

Was he in the Icelandic thriller where the town was snowed in, can't think what it was called.....Trapped.

Lots of time shifting and little twists to hold your attention for the hour.

Pretty tempted to seek out the first series.

[Hugo a Gogo]

the first series was very good, and quite disturbing

I could even tolerate the presence of James Nesbitt

Also the main villain in Bad Boys 1. I think he stacks an AC Cobra.

I'm finding the Iraq/ISIS connection a bit annoying TBH.

It's like they sat down and said "right, let's make oursleves look really clever with a load of plot twists based on current affairs".

So far, S1 > S2 for me.

Well caught up with episode 2 & 3 last night. Gripping stuff, still a bit confused, each episode puts in a new twist, definitely one you need to watch closely! Can't wait until next week.

I'm just finding it a bit hard to keep track of which of the three timelines we're on, the main pointers seem to be whether Baptiste has hair, or whether the army Dad has a scar or not. Enjoyable so far, though.

[The Don of Croy]

Did anyone else notice the biro pens with hotel names? Not sure if it's significant but as with the genre who knows?

The English lady butcher (missed epi 2 so not really sure who she is yet) was decidedly crumpet when she appeared in The Comic Strip presents 'The Yob' many moons ago.

The only bit that bothers me is the snow - it looks fake all too often. Not that we need snow to reinforce the sense of season (or bleakness), so why blow it about like that?

And why the visit to the ISIS battlefield? Who is the AWOL private?

So many questions and 'only' five more episodes.

son of the black army general/captain/whatever who killed himself, was mates with the dementia brigadier (whose in deep) and the butcher wife was involved with him too somehow

[MiniMan64]

The snow is there primarily to distinguish between timelines I think, very helpful it is too!

The AWOL private is the son of the black officer who blew "his own" brains out. Me thinks he was tied into the kidnapping/trafficking that the senior army chaps appeared to have going.

And I'm betting the next photo on the rollercoaster shows exactly who was on there with her daughter...

I did notice that Scouse army bloke needed to sort his roof insulation out

half melted on his roof, still loads on the ground

Brigadier, fake dementia?

[PurpleTurtle]

I tweeted last night that I thought the Brigadier (fake dementia or not) was being offered up buy the writers as too obvious a suspect. The actress who plays young Alice (Madison Linnard) 'liked' my tweet - make of that what you will.

She also liked loads of other tweets on the #TheMissing hashtag, so it probably means absolutley nothing!

I have to say, it would seem FAR too obvious at this stage... (Identified as the primary suspect at the end of ep 2).

Obviously SOMETHING was going on, but maybe not what we're supposed to assume.

Thought the burning face in the shed was quite punchy for BBC!!

Glad she's gone though, she was creepy AF!

Yeah I wondered if we'd done the old switcherooo
