The Missing is Back

Well didn't last nights episode throw a spanner in the works. I had a feeling the press officer was going to be a villain. We are really hooked, I think it is very well written. Looking forward to next week.

I think what was confusing last night was that the missing police man was not really mentioned. I suppose there is a danger from the viewers point of view that we think a week has gone by but in terms of the actual drama it might only be a number of hours!!! 

Surely the press officer is a villain as he murdered the German policeman?

I agree with you David, but did you see that the press officer kept the policemans phone & texted his mate to cover for him for a few days. Very crafty. 

Got a few answers last  night, starting to fall into place, and Alice is still alive, can't wait for the final episode next week. 

Yes a few things came together last night. However its still a bit confusing as to what Stone's involvement really is. From what we saw last night perhaps nothing to do with the disappearance of the girls but there was that sceen early on in the series  where he seemed to be warning the girl posing as Alice. We also don't know who the body in the fire was if they are suggesting Alice is still alive. Lets hope the final episode is not a disappointment!!!

I'm guessing that Stone's reference to "what the three of us did to that girl" is to do with the younger sister presumably burnt to death in the fire they started when rescuing Getrik (is that his name - the press guy?). The abduction of the girls maybe completely separate to that - the body in the shed may be the third girl in the photo, but where the DNA fits in is anyone's guess!

Finally caught up with all the records we had to watch, so last night we got to watch it as it was broadcast. We've been gripped from the start of it. Who is the girl in the shed, if Alice is still alive? can't wait for next week. Like DK hope its not a damp squid.

Having been in the Army and lived in Germany wish these producers would get their facts straight though, really bugs the OH.

TG

If I recall correctly the first series was set in France but filmed in Belgium which lead to a few oddities of detail. What is it that you find wrong with the facts that those of us unfamiliar with army life would have missed?

David

Location, the hospital and cars were all supposed to be in the Hannover area, but it wasn't set anywhere near it.  Wrong uniforms, wrong cap badges, wrong procedures a Sgt from the Military police running that kid of investigation wouldn't happen, something like that would have been handled at the highest level by the SIB the whole Army setup was wrong, the fact that even after all those years they were all still in the same place is another.  Sent Phil daft

Oh and the flashbacks to Iraq, wrong uniforms wrong equipment, think you get the drift, 

I see what you mean but for most that wouldn't spoil the overall drama. I remember reading about War and Peace recent production and how, apparently, the Russians were watching it like a hawk to see if any mistakes were made with the uniforms. It seems the BBC aquitted themselves quite well but that was a historical drama where perhaps where perhaps the detail is more important. It would be interesting to talk to the Producer of the series to see what his take was?
