The Living and the Dead

[Kaz]

Tonight on BBC 1, 9pm. We watched it on iplayer on Sunday as it's already there in box set format We only watched the first episode, so we can watch it weekly, and it is superb!! Really beautifully shot, set in Somerset in 1894, a very spooky story of ghostly possession. Colin Morgan from Humans and Merlin is in it

We watched the last two episodes on the iplayer! Wow!!! So spooky and I did NOT expect the twist in the last episode!

I guess nobody else here is watching this then? Shame, as I really want/need someone to talk over the shock ending with!

I watched it a while ago. The whole series was available on iplayer. I loved it.

For a little while, towards the end I started to think that he (Merlin - can't remember his name in the programme) was actually a ghost from the future as he often looked like he was wearing modern clothes.

The ending left it wide open for another series. What happened to his wife? At what point did he kill her?

I didn't quite get the car thing. How did the car end up buried in a field in the past? That but confused me.

Nathan, yes the jumpers looked modern for a start

The car confused me too, and which wife did he kill? Did they mean Charlotte (hope not!) or the drowned son's mum? We never found out what happened to her I also wonder if they've left it hanging like that with another series in mind?

Really enjoyed it, even though it was confusing

I missed the first couple as I was watching the end of something else so will catch up later.

Why do TV companies start new programmes in the middle of another popular one on another channel? Thank goodness for catch up.

It's definitely worth the bother Frank, and luckily these days you can catch up with most stuff
