Nor me. Time for a special spoiler thread so people who binge like Veem know what to avoid. Then we who don't can discuss what we've seen.

I've started a spoiler thread for you.

Well it didn't end at all as I was expecting - brilliant job me thinks.

Thanks Char, but I was half joking, there are plenty of such examples and we can't expect special arrangements for all of them.

As to Our House, I have forgotten the ending already, but didn't it leave the possibility hanging of a further series? Nobody knows exactly what happened and simply walking into Lake Geneva proves nothing.

One thing that I was puzzled by was how the money was diverted from the blackmailer to an account of the blackmailee.

Perhaps you can enlighten me Sparkle?

I still can't understand the relevance of Bram in the play house with Fi's best friend Merle. Was that just to add story to the couple splitting up?

I'm sure I wouldn't still be best friends if someone did that to me!

In the case of Bram in Our House, it becomes obvious that he believes his death will ultimately benefit his family. In a last-ditch effort to correct things with those he loves, he double crosses the manipulative Toby/Mike and instead of transferring the money to him, sends it to Fi instead.

Thanks for that, but hardly a good bit of writing, surely a bloke like Toby/Mike, having worked out such a complicated plot beforehand would have done a better job of making sure the money went where he wanted it too?

As far as the play house incident goes MTM, that was to justify Bram's banning from the house and leading to the chain of events that laid him open to blackmail. A bit lame though I thought.

What I did appreciate though was his unintentional dropping of Fi in it by his taped confession. Now that was a nice twist. But as I said before, room for a sequel I think.

As an aside from all this, why is it so easy for wronged women to 'kick an erring, or otherwise' husband out of the house? It is half his house so why does the wimp (in so much fiction) meekly allow this to happen. 40 odd years ago I was 'advised' by the police to leave my house, not because I had strayed in any way, but because my alcoholic and pissed up wife had threatened my safety. If the positions had been reversed I am sure I would have been in gaol that night, not remaining to clear up all the destruction and smashed glass once sober. Inequality isn't always a one way street you know.

@Spardo Unless I wasn't paying attention I don't remember seeing how he managed to transfer the money to fi.
Agree with you about inequality not always being a one way street.
