The Children

[Inver]

Must remember to watch the final part of this tonight at 9pm. Anyone else been watching this?. Am intrigued to find out 'who did it'

[happyanddandy]

Yes! Yes! But I admit to being a bit muddled by the forward flashes

[~Andrea~]

I've been watching this. Well, I watched the first one and I have the other two sky plussed.

Am intrigued to find out 'who did it'

 

 

Well so far only the baby has an alibi.

[happyanddandy]

Can someone please explain who did it? I am confused - did the blonde woman crying say she did it?

[Inver]

For god sake I watched this for 3 weeks...what a pathetic ending. She didn't actually say she did it....just 'Im so sorry' over and over!!! So yes I assume she did. Can't believe that was it.

[Stephanie2008]

I thought it was going to be her. But they didn't even give a reason as to why Tash went around there in the first place. I thought everything was alright with her. Unless she was worried Emily would move in. It was a bit of an anti-climax to me.

[Inver]

Wasn't it just. The could almost have made another programme with the police involvement.

[happyanddandy]

It's just left me utterly bewildered - great story and build up - no ending!

[Inver]

You can just imagine everyone who has followed it saying as I did.....'is that it'!!

[Stephanie2008]

I loved how it gave a reason for all of the other characters - but to miss out the actual killer, to not even mention a motive, seems really poor to me.

[Inver]

Have to say at 9.40 when I looked at the clock and thought how are they going to tie all this up...it was gonna be a poor end. I even checked the paper to make sure it was the last one!!

[Weave]

I missed the whole thing:smile2: Did I miss much gang?

[happyanddandy]

Great story, acting, plot Paula but...poor ending

[Weave]

I will try to catch it again, they might repeat it on ITV3, thanks H&D:friends0:

[supergran71]

It was obviously Trish, the mother of the baby who killed the little girl wasnt it? Could have been done better.

[Inver]

I didn't think it was that obvious. Must have missed that bit....lol.

[Stephanie2008]

Yeah me too Inver I didn't understand her reason for going round and finding Emily in the garden. Why would she have gone to Sue's house? It should have been explained more I think.

[Kenny]

poor ending!

[happyanddandy]

It was obviously Trish, the mother of the baby who killed the little girl wasnt it?

 

How so?

[supergran71]

How so?

 

 

They did runs of all the others "pushing and killing her", but then showed Trish sobbing and saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" and ignoring her own baby. Same sort of way they let you assume that

Esme smothered her sister

in Maggie O'Farrell's book.

 

Did anyone see what the critics said about it??

[happyanddandy]

No I didn't get a paper today

[magicstar]

Very unsatisfactory ending after waiting 3 weeks. How does the girlfriend saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry prove it was her, it could have been one of the other scenarios that was the real conclusion, why show them? She really had least reason of all and what did she do with the baby while she was there, did she take it with her? I hate loose ends.

[Inver]

There was only 3 episodes!

[~Andrea~]

I caught up last night, watching episodes 2 and 3 back to back. Arggh how aggravating. I also thought it got very far-fetched with each character becoming more and more unpleasant so that they just became less beleivable for me.

 

You can just imagine everyone who has followed it saying as I did.....'is that it'!!

 

That's exactly what I shouted at the telly when the credits rolled up! They should have at least showed her doing it in the same way they showed the others hypothetically doing it.

 

Very disappointing.

 

they let you assume that Esme smothered her sister in

Maggie O'Farrell's book.

Does that need a spoiler supergran?
