Question re last night's ep - Peripheral Vision - *SPOILER*


Hi, I obviously wasn't paying close enough attention, but please could someone tell me who the killer was? I mean I know what his name was and saw him confessing and everything, but I didn't catch who he was in the story - was he a policemen or what? How was he linked to the travellers? I'd be ever so grateful if someone could clarify for me - thanks! Bev x

Hi. He was the solicitor who represented the travellers. He said previous that "he lived with them" and fought their fights etc and basically Floria had gone for help, as had Clara and he'd killed them both. Was a really great episode I thought, but still no Harry and Nicki, depite the "A doctor had a look at me," "lucky doctor" comments!!! AAAHHHHH so aggravating that they won't just get it together. I've only been waiting for year!!!

Brokeback got us good, don't it?

Hi, thanks for that! I thought it was a really good story too. I wish Harry and Nicki would just get on with too - they seemed to be getting close but now seem to be getting nowhere again! It's so frustrating - just get it on already!!!

Thanks again,

Bev

Thanks for that also. I felt really dumb & cheated last night when the murderer seemed to be someone who hadn't been in the story before, and was suddenly threatening Nicky. There can't have been much focus on him, as I usually remember characters. The number of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease sufferers that Harry dug up seemed a bit numerous. This rare disease usually appears spontaneously (or can be inherited), but only affects one per million head of population (from Centres for Disease Control USA). And it can still only be diagnosed by brain dissection i.e. post mortem.
