Well I must say I have been gripped for each episode. But I am still none the wiser, I would like to think that all the time Isha was around he couldn't die, and just kept getting older and older.

I know it was, it had everyone I know, who had watched it, gripped from the beginning. I expect we'll have to wait an age until we get another gripping drama like that.

Agree !.it kept you hanging on till the end !...I thought the girl played her part really well !
Three bloody hours of my life lost on watching rubbish like this but I'm assuming that I'm not attuned to watching 'drama'such as this like the rest of you, who are much more forgiving, it seems.
Vice la difference.
I was bawling my eyes out by the end. This should get some awards, it was superbly acted, well written and beautifully filmed, very original. Loved it!

Seems I'll be in a minority here. This thing made no sense whatsoever. Beautifully shot and all that, but Palin originally engineers his escape from the house and an escape from the ghost, then at the end admits that the last thing he wants is to get rid of her.
She's a ghost who won't hurt children, bit of course she will when the story demands it.
It killed two people with no ryhme or reason behind it, except of course to pad out a second episode. It travels through things taken from the house, then of course it doesn't when the story again demands it.
The carer goes to Scarborough in her mother's car, the cop drives her home in his car. She immediately goes back out in her mother's car. It must've drove itself home from the sea side - but was indicative of the rest of the sloppiness. .
And then it all neatly ties together when a senile old biddy with a photographic memory who recalls verbatim a song someone sung from her childhood, so a good job she was round at her granny's that day when the newly weds got home.
When Turn of the Screw or Whistle had nothing to say, they said it beautifully and terrifyingly. This just filled the gaps up with a jumble of nonsense, and a teenager who girned and sobbed her way through the entire third episode.

That's three hours of my life gone forever.
Mind a lot of Ghost stories don't make sense ! ..but I still love them !

Yes ! the BBC do them so well ...on Christmas Eve !
Hoping to see Michael Palin in more dramas.
Me neither
Agreed. I almost expected him to be Isha at one point.
Excellent drama. Kept me guessing.
Gwyneth Hughes' blog that was mentioned at the end of the episode.
Yes I thought he played the part so well !...should have been in it more though !
Vice la difference.
