Intrograted
There are enough Aussies living in the UK that the bbc could surely have found actors so that we don't have to put up with these (not the worst by far but) pretty terrible fake accents. Or is it something a British audience wouldn't really notice?
Intrograted
well, I was wrong about just about everything! except for, sort of, one thing. right person, kinda, wrong reasons
Intrograted
at 10:18 atm, so now I'm thinking becca did it coz she wants to blow shit up but the kablam plan'll be nixed if sab gets the report to fran. I thought this was all a little cheesy to begin with, and elly's a bit hysterical-annoying, but as you can see from my incessant commenting, I'm kinda having fun now. still think the coroner and/or Mia might be working for big oil/government tho
Intrograted
okay, so now I'm hoping Poppy & Sullivan are red herrings. who will suspicion be shifted to next?! ep1 gabe, ep2 prof, ep3 coroner, ep4 guy who put on beach vigil? becca? will it turn out to be Mia? she lived with sab to be close to her, gave herself a concussion (like The Last Crusade)?! hope I'm wrong on all counts
