Might save it for the new year when there's nothing on tele if it's any good.

The twists are starting to come up now ... And it's hard to like the parents ! I've also been watching Gracepont (the Us broadchurch but the accents are appalling!)

I have to intersperse with SuperVet and Paul O Grady's for the love of dogs !

And yes, the parents are really annoying - love the detective though.

Agreed on Gracepoint too - terrible - I was done after the 1st episode.

Finally got around to finishing this and rather enjoyed it.

Genuinely quite a creepy show. Not really scary though like a lot of folks were saying, but it was creepy. Nice use of music.

Fun little story.

Caught this on TV while in the UK last week. Liked it a lot and ended up sticking it on for Mrs tonrob to watch when I got home so seen it twice now.

Anyone know of any other good Xmas specials to look out for? (Saw the Wrong Mans one mentioned so will look out for that).
