Can that solicitor not afford to keep the lights on in the evening?

Pure slurry so far again tonight.

A slow grinding tedium. Something please happen!

Why the actual fuuuck would the warden tell Paul the details of your mans heinous crimes?

I don't find this episode to be as bad as the rest. But it really could have been the first episode of this series and I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

I missed Cantona's news. Anyone summarise it?

Do they go out of their way to make it unbelievable?

Maybe they're trying to claim the staff are bad apples.

Paul/Peter and the guy convicted of the 2002 London murder went to the same kid's home where they were abused
Guess cantona was too.

Like he was giving him the sick details to salivate over...

How the hell can they wrap all this up in just one more episode?

Pile of dung.

Definitely losing my marbles here but I liked Dornan in the scene with the psychiatrist. He's been better this series while Anderson's nosedived.

Best episode so far....Liked the interview scene at end.

Sadly, i never got around to watching this :rolleyes:

But i read that as well as it showing on Thurs, BBC2 are showing the final ep next Fri@9pm & RTE2 are doing the same, so's not to lose viewers, well if there's any left according to this thread

I wondered at that too as I'm sure he'll be expecting Spector to have a fine old time under the duvet thinking about that one!!....but somehow I think it wont have that effect- in this case the victim, being a child of around his daughters age. Maybe he'll do a Hannibal Lector and talk the creepy little rodent into doing away with himself.

How are they going to resolve this all in one episode. Sure, nothing has happened all season long as it's been as slow as hell but they really need to tie up this story and bury it. To do that right they needed to have had more happen all season long. Is it 100% that Dornan isn't returning because unless they open the next episode with a trial, speed through it and lock him away or else have him get attacked/killed, I don't see how season 4 is going to finish the Spector story.

I interpreted it as the fella giving Spector a dig, that even though your man looks harmless he clearly isnt and everyone in there deserves to be.

Overall, I thought it was actually a good interesting episode

Ah here, this non story line of Cantona drinking vodka is just ridiculous, he has now moved away from drinking mini bottles in the jacks to drinking glasses of the stuff in the office, wtf????

Either way, it's showing no signs of being ready to wrap up in one episode.

i'd say spector will try get neil lennon to help him escape, it looks like neil lennon is somehow idolising spector, then again who gives a sh1te

I think another poster mentioned that Cantona was a 'student' at this abuse school. That would explain his drinking and the ability to tell the cops the abuse story. Tenuous at best I agree.

The Black Oil

Thought it was a strong episode. They could really have just had an hour of back forth between Spector and the psychiatrist, along with the police interview with David.

Pile a scrap

Well that was my original take, but later on when smouldering looker Sculley's banging dude interviews non-murderer in London he says Cantona was the arresting officer... though Cantona didn't say this himself so he might have made it up. Thought there'd be a bit of an age difference there but could definitely have been the same place.

The decent first series of this show is a very distant memory now.

This season has achieved the rather remarkable feat of being worse than the atrocious second series.
