Vera

In the end he did attack her and leave her injured. Whether she could have been saved? But he did not call an ambulance or the police.

If it was all too much for him he should have told his wife and got social services involved.

Anyway that girl wasn't going home with her mum, not after attacking her and the aunt and uncle already describing her as violent. She'd be going into care until they decided whether her mum was safe from her. And they couldn't move into a flat with no furniture.

The one I felt sorriest for was the aunt. She'd looked after her sister and her niece, been at their beck and call, given up her own life. Now with her husband in prison she'd lose her house and have to find a job. She wouldn't be getting much help from anyone.

About time!

SPOLIER Plot flaw tonight. SPOILER.

DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TONIGHT.








There's a storm, a massive storm. Torrential rain, wind howling and a farmer is supposed to be working a field in what looks like a very little tractor!!! Hardly.

Plus we have a skint farmer on a small farm, who's logging his work locations on a his farm computer system. Working a field that's pasture!!!

I completely forgot it was on last week and I think everyone else did too! Just about to watch it.

Me too! I've just had to watch the final 15 minutes on the ITV Hub because I fell asleep and missed the end! I think I may have dozed off before then too because I never did get why Lizzie had a suitcase in her car or exactly why she wanted to leave.

I’ve given up with weather contradiction! Do you think it’s covid restrictions that made them have to film when they could and forget continuity? But I’m just watching a C5 mystery film… it started off a nice day, possibly Autumn, with some sun and later on they are filming a scene where it’s snowing. Unless the weather changes on a sixpence in Nantucket or wherever this is set.

I think you can see it too. Vera and her DS can be next to each other, briefly in the car with the windows open. But more often she was on her own.

Most scenes are outside but if not there's a big table or something between them. Either that or they're at opposite ends of the room. The table in the interview room was massive.

Vera did a lot of her interviews standing up feet away from the person being interviewed. Which is strange, because anyone could overhear.

Then they try to use camera angles or edited scenes. So if someone is talking to another person sitting in a chair. You get a bit of one person's shoulder or hair in the scene as if we're looking over their shoulder whilst they talk to each other. When really they're not and they were filmed separately and it was edited together.

Apart from the father hugging one daughter at the end barely anyone got close. Even in the older daughter's work place there was a humongous kitchen island between them.

In some dramas it still plays well if the story is good but other times it's very disjointed. Especially in group scenes when everyone is miles apart.

A bit like the plastic legs in the birth scenes in call the midwife. They must shoot all of that, then do the woman giving birth and splice it together. Barely seen a midwife help a woman sit up or lie down and nobody is hugging. Even in the wedding scenes the couple said there was a perspex sheet between them.
