I started the book but couldn't get into it. Hopefully easier with the visual.

Some deluded fans believe there's a secret 4th episode of Sherlock being shown instead of Apple Tree Yard on Sunday night...

I've recorded this to watch later. I don't know if anyone else is watching but just to point out that the final episode #4 is on tomorrow night at 9pm.

Episode #3 is on tonight of course.

I am hoping all of these questions will answered tonight. There was a real leap from her driving him to the train station and to her getting arrested in the restaurant. Surely this gap is part of the final reveal.

I have really enjoyed this mini series so far. There is a great sense of being embedded in her side of the story, inside her head as it were. Very well acted and produced all around. (IMHO)

Wow at the finale, Emily Watson outstanding as usual

Any word on if there is another series?

The ending was a bit of an anti climax I thought we were going to have some complex MI 5 plot to do with genetic engineering and George was working undercover for two years.

Why did Mark have the bag with him when he got in and out of the car he didn't change clothes did he?

Emily WAtson & Ben were good he plays the menacing man with secrets so well as he did in Mad Dogs. The other characters were uninspiring and almost comical.

All in all a good journey but the outcome a bit mundane.

i watched it this week - yeah the ending was an anti climax.. and I think it made Emily look really weak and stupid.. there was so much more they could have done - well i guess the series was made from a book - didn't know what..
like we didn't get much background as to why she had the need to have the affair..
He did change his clothes - they said that in court - but he forgot to change his shoes - thats how they found George's blood on the floor of her car.

Emily was great in it though..

the rape scene was horrific.. really horrific
