Nah, really I thought it was all about Greg. K, he was the only character actor that I actually fancied, whatever. Still, you can't deny his talent.
Ty BHprod/Haynes.

Once again thanks to the team and this time to Toby Two. I was suprised and how many little things I had not picked up on and yes I had no idea that Owen had killed Annie which as we have said many times before was down to Greg's great acting.
Thanks again, you continue to spoil us

At 13th Jul 2009, bumpkin wrote:I remember at the time of the 'reveal' there was a division between those who said it was obvious he did it and those to whom it came as a complete surprise. I have to say I was in the former category BUT I never viewed it that way.
To me, it wasn't necessarily supposed to be a big surprise to us watching; the important thing was that it was a huge surprise to the other characters who met Owen. And I think Gregg just couldn't have got that performance more spot on. In real life people like Owen really do fool people. And that's what we were watching.
It's a massive bonus that a lot of people watching didn't guess at all and even more of a credit to the performance :)

So far only 2 films I didn't guess the twist, one because it was so complex and amazing that it threw it me and one because it was just plain stupid. This falls into the first option. I agree with sp I really wasn't looking for it, I was absorbed in the programme: the acting, the writing etc.
Kudos to all involved, but Chillin (I so badly want to put an apostrophe after that surname) has skills.

Great that you actually broke the tile, interesting detail.
