I agree with your friend.   If it was the pain, she (the character) would have probably gone on a bit longer, but she knew she needed to increase the pain relief and didn't want to be 'out of it' and possibly back thinking she was Harold when she died.     I thought they did well and as I was reading (think it was in the Mail online) they didn't make it too mawkish an episode, like a Easties two hander - although I'm sure Julie and David could have done it well - but they showed life going on as normal all around the street in between scenes, and cut away after she'd started drinking the cocktail of drugs.  Made it all the more poignant I think.

I've been thinking about the Hayley/Harold thing.

The way I see it, Hayley was always Hayley on the inside, and was only Harold on the outside. She could never 'return' to being Harold because he never really existed. However, I think she was frightened that she would become confused due to meds and relive the painful times when she was forced to live as Harold.

That makes sense in my head but I'm not so sure it makes sense in print.

No, that's what I meant..  when her friend was dying she was talking about happy times with her husband, and Hayley didn't want to go back to a time in her life when she thought she was still 'Harold' on the outside and so unhappy. 

 That's how I saw it too.

I never knew The Killing 1 was so long. 30 eps on DVD   

Utterly riveting.

Enjoy the ride mate! 

So far it's the best Lurpak Noir Xochs  

It's costin me a fortune out the library mind.

Worth every penny donks. It'll keep you guessing throughout the whole thing. 

Pretty sure Series 1 was 20 episodes.

Series 2 and 3 were 10 episodes each.

(Series 1 was actually 2 seasons, but they were run together on the BBC.)

Ooooh, excellent..!  I've not watched it yet either because I think it deserves my full attention 

Maybe the last ones are filler.

Five DVD'S and the first two are six eps each.

Scratch that....they are four   

You can tell...can't you?

You got there in the end.

Never a fan.

Agree with this comment but want to point out Spiral came first on UK TV I think. It was the worthy trailblazer for this type of foreign import. But I agree with Carport. The Bridge is the best of the lot.  

So bad I had to go and find the thread about it to say so.    Not a great fan of Vic Reeves at the best of times but have to confess he can be funny at times.   This was not one of those times.  

anybody watching the NTA's?
