Brilliant no - contrived yes. I was very disappointed that plot relied on (a) the owner of the charity shop who kept a detailed inventory of every item that that been brought in when and by whom and (b) that the police just happened to find a photo with of the scarf wearers car driver with the license plate clearly visible.

Ah you are still watching it EP.


The biggest plot hole was when he read the messages on the guys phone, got the proof of the connection to the other paedophile and beat him up only to leave the phone on the ground within reach of the beaten up chap so he could pick up said phone and call Garrett to warn him Nesbitt was coming.


That was a bit of a plot hole but EP if you spend your time focussing on plot holes when you should be enjoying something then maybe you are actuary an auditor and better off sticking with the day job.

I dunno, he's hardly a hardened criminal, so that's all vaguely plausible, and it was his number he found, again, can't see why not.


The guilt is like a cancer story retold was a bit contrived I'll grant you.


I guess the aritst pick up was there to paint the french as a bunch with loose morals and gitanes permanently stuck to lower lip. I jest, probably something about how his life is unhinged, he walks away from a young beautiful woman or something....


We're still very much enjoying it though, am liking the pace and the drip feed, even the slightly daft twist at the end of the episode, but only because i'd worked it out after the 'regrets' comment and got to feel all smug ;)

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
