How can people possibly discuss programmes like these on something as intellectually strangling as Twitter? You only have to read the comments on here to realise that it's ridiculous even to try.
I'm even more puzzled how people can watch a drama and be absorbed in it but be able to post on here when the programme is still on. Some people claim that they can multitask, but I don't buy that really. |

That's what I was thinking. But then you have to suspend even more disbelief in Tamara Drewe where she chases after Roger Allam

I definitely think the fact she later said they had changed the name back to land girl lucy was a hint something was up.
As if in real life she had the part in land girl lucy, In his confused state it changed, Then when he though he was ok it went back |

Perhaps I did misinterpret them. However the first tweet did come across as somewhat condescending.
Recently there have been comments made by some writers of television shows which have come across as quite sneery to 'fans' of those shows even when the viewers have been quite nice about their shows. So perhaps I jumped to conclusions a bit. There does seem to be something in those tweets though that makes it sound as though he's slightly frustrated that people enjoyed these shows for what he believes to be the wrong reasons. For example if people enjoyed the episodes for the twists at the end, well then that's just what they happened to enjoy. He does seem to be a bit annoyed by this and I don't really understand why. Anyway, maybe I might be seen to be a bit grumpy and I shouldn't be too surprised if anyone assumed that I was. |

You're right. That's why I prefer to discuss things with people on a forum and don't use Twitter.

I have just watched episode 2 and 3 and realise that Paul in episode 2 is Kayvan Novak in the Phone/Facejacker. I knew I knew him from somewhere
![]() In episode 3. I now think that both Stevie and Gerri were his conscience going by the things they kept saying to him ie: Body Shop vouchers etc. And Migg, as he was real was his demon he was fighting with then killed him to get better. Tbh I never really look that deeply into these sort of shows but as a few have put their suggestions in I have done mine. More than likely I am wrong

I think judging by Reeces comments on Twitter it was what was shown on screen. Gerri was dead and Tom was seeing her as a result of his mental break down. Migg was real and trying to take advantage of the situation and Tom killed him as he thought he wasn't real.

Anyway, I think this is a really good series. The second episode was very funny. It might be a random thing to notice, but I quite liked how in the end credits we saw that they'd bothered to give the characters names! I think some wouldn't considering most of them don't say their names or refer to each other in the episode itself. The latest episode was good. I guessed that Gerri wasn't real when she saw the flat and Tom in a state and reacted far too calmly, but I wasn't expecting Migg to turn out to be real! |

Does anyone else remember Steve Coogan's 'Dr Terrible's House Of Horrible' several years ago which was similar to 'Inside No. 9' but l think the stories was set in different periods of time as one episode was supposedly a take on the Vincent Price film 'Witchfinder General'!
I don't know if 'DTHOH' ran for a second series or not? |

I enjoyed the first episode, loved the second episode (except for the dog squishing) but not so keen on the last one. Still very well written but it left me wanting more to the story. I didn't suspect that Gerri wasn't real but knew Migg was as we saw him taking the money out of the birthday card and Tom wouldn't have fantasized about what he didn't see. I think I would have liked to know more about Migg's history and that was what was missing for me - but then that would have had to be an hour's episode.

Didn't like the third episode so much, but only because I was putting together the twist almost from the very start. It's been done too many times before, so all the clues stood out like a sore thumb - at first I thought the tramp was imagined but the scene with him poking around on his own, stealing the tenner, that suggests he's real. Then I suspected they were both imagined, eventually deciding it was probably just the gf that was imagined as that would be the only 'unexpected' twist after all the signposting.
Sadly the whole thing didn't really work for me purely because of the scene whern Migg hides behind the bathroom door. Why would he have done that if he was really real? Aaaanyway. Good to watch, great performances and shooting etc, but the story wasn't so good this time. |
