    Loving this series. One thing niggled me, wouldn't it be enough to just send Bobs medical files to S.A. to see if the operation were viable?

    IIRC did't the doctor say it was a fast growing tumour. Before any procedure the surgeon would need the absolute latest scans to ensure the tumour hadn't gone past the point of no return for his procedure. And, tbh, as it is all private I would hate to think they are doing them just to get more £££. It's why US medical insurance is so much... Every time you are seen they run a whole gamut of procedures, scans and tests 'just in case'... :(

    Stuart has now asked Denise, Jamie and Leanne if they voted for or against him to have the winnings.

    All three have said they voted for him to have an equal share, so one is lying. The obvious choice is the brother but the two women have delayed reactions. Denise last night had a twitch in her eye hmm...

    I feel like the brother is too obvious and it was Denise that voted against him. It doesn't make sense because then she donated £1,000,000 to a dog home but it's a tough one to call.

    What do you think?

    Definitely the brother who voted against him - I thought that immediately.

    Has to be the brother judging by his selfish nature - showing his missus that photo for example was just vindictive.

    Another good episode last night. Leanne, Deniece and Stuart have such great on screen chemistry.

    he asked Bob too - who also said he'd voted for him to have the winnings.

    It's going to be his brother Jamie who voted against him.

    I really dont think it can be Denise as she hasnt a bad bone in her body and last night she sounded so genuine to Stuart when she said of course she voted for him to have his share as they had been the two that had instigated the syndicate in the first place.

    Jamie as we know is pure evil so it surely must be him.

    Did Jamie stay over at the hotel as well? If not could it have been him that Amy was messing around with in the pool at 5am?

    Agree, but if the most up to date scan from the UK showed it not to be viable then it would prevent a wasted journey and Bobs precious time:)

    he said no so he would get a bigger share.. £4,500,000 instead of £3,600,000.. it's possible the brother is the father of amy's baby

    I'm pretty sure they covered this. I seem to recall Bob's partner asking the consultant here to email all Bob's scans over to S.A. Mr Shapiro will save Bob .... PLEASE!!:)

    Can't wait for the final episode next week! My perfect ending would be for sleazy Jamie to drive his Ferrari off the edge of a cliff whilst on the run from drug dealers/police. Skanky Amy would be in the passenger seat. Then with both of them gone, Stuart and his mum and Leanne and the kids can live happily ever after!!:D

    I had the same thought

    Really enjoying the series, the only bit i can't get my head round, is how someone like Stuart, who has trouble putting a sentence together, would pull anyone like Amy, who in my opinion would be far more "up for it" with a gobby ******** like the brother.

    A one night stand maybe, drunk in a nighclub sort of thing, but i just can't see Stuart having the personality in the 1st place to even grab Amy's attention, let alone go out with him.

    This has been such an enjoyable series. Slightly contrived script at the beginning but it's got better and better - and with such fine actors as Timothy Spall and Joanna Page, it's been a real joy.

    This is the sort of drama that you could never, ever imagine being made by an American TV company.

    Just waiting for next week's final episode when the horrible brother meets his fate! (Hopefully!)

    I know this is just a drama series but anyone think it might get a second series? I'm really enjoying it and while I think everything will be nicely wrapped up at the end I still feel it could continue.

    Also Stuart's girlfriend better get whats coming to her, I don't think I've hated a character on TV so much for a long time! :D

    Perhaps not - but I am completely and utterly besotted with her looks-wise. She's absolutely gorgeous - my new favourite at the moment.

    BBC do give us some good shows, even the afternoon series are so good, like The Indian Doctor, Land Girls and that recent one with words and literacture - i cant remember what its called now...... I am waiting for Silk to be back on


    I honestly think its Jamie who voted No, the man is selfish

    Jo Page was fab in the episode, i felt for her

    I think the last one you mentioned was 'Secrets and Words'.

    I really enjoyed them all too. Great viewing.

    I think it was Jamie who voted 'no' too, what a horror!

    There are so many ends to tie up next week, I can't wait!
