Loving it - a good old fashioned ghost story!! Can't wait until the concluding episode next week!!

BristolUK

Had a quick rummage...a few viewing options with subtitles but seems to be one of those where downloading for later doesn't take the subtitle option with it. But I'll give it a look.

Just finished episode 2 of Remember Me.

It really reminds me of BBC's ghost stories for xmas that used to be on a few years ago.

I don't usually go in for the spooky stuff but this is really well done, and you can't fault Michael Palin's performance one bit.

Editha

I'm enjoying it too.

Perth

The Missing is absolutely riveting.

BristolUK

Is the cheque in the post?

northernbird

I just can't get into The Missing. It's the sort of programme they could have done in a 3 parter!!

Perth

You may be right about that but still I am hooked.

BristolUK

Nope. Having just watched episode 7, absolutely not right.

Perth

Yes, still hooked Watched the last episode of Remember Me also. Mixed feelings on that one. Michael Palin was terrific though.

BristolUK

No no, I meant not right about having it done in three parts.

What happened in episode 7 just could not be accommodated in 3 parts and absolutely none of it is filler stuff either.

Adding a third period to go with the flitting back and forth between the original two really keeps you on your toes doesn't it?

northernbird

There wasn't anything to get me hooked. I like all the actors in it but I felt they didn't gel as an ensemble. Just my opinion of course. Can't like all British drama.

Perth

Yes, I did get what you meant. Just reiterating that despite 7 episodes (and counting) I am still hooked! Adding the 3rd period was interesting indeed. Wonder if we will get a 4th before it is all over. Got rather curious about the elder French detective Julien, and after a quick google search found out he was actually born in Turkey but raised in Paris. He is also a singer/songwriter, but after listening to a number of his on youtube, the OH pronounced that it was a good thing he was a good actor

Perth

Mmm, interesting. Thinking about it now I would have agree with you as far as the relationship between the parents is concerned. But I really don't like that actress anyway. Every other social dynamic seems to work well though, especially between Tony and Julien.

BristolUK

But isn't that influenced by what's happened to split them asunder?

We did see them happy enough originally. Most of it has been bitterness since the kid's disappearance but most of the time portrayed has been since then so it's to be expected. And now they appear to be getting a little closer again, whatever attracted them to each other might be emerging again.

The way many of the locals have changed towards him now compared to back then - like that barman who insisted on being paid for the drinks he gave free before - shows how much he changed...not surprising the relationship changed.

Have you noticed how the husband at the Eden seems to be lingering in the background a lot? I wonder......
