I'm really enjoying it so far, and I can't wait to see what twists we are undoubtably in store for. David Morrissey was excellent, imo (although I keep getting reminded of him in Blackpool, hahaha), and I can't wait to see what they do with the character of Mark. Really interesting start. Definitely gripping, and creepy enough that you start questioning everyone - at least I did! As each new character came along I was already thinking the worst of them!

i also thought jack's accent sounded american, then i thought he was maybe scottish! maybe he has multiple personalities etc ..anyway, can't wait another week, i'm hooked bad! who's the dude with the ble baseball cap then? anyone have any ideas.........and did you notice at the beginning when the police inspector put the pulled tooth in the bin what was that all about then

Can anyone help. i was watching this cape wrath last night and went on to watch the 2nd episode on e4 but i nodded off and woke up to see the inspector/cop going on about a blue wall at back of house seemed to be trying to trick the young lad but didnt see how he was tricking him and how he tricked him then they arrested the dad and said his son was colourblind ?????? im lost

please tell me what else was said

wow i didn;t see the 2nd episode (was too scared to watch on my own!) but it sound fantastically crazy!........i've just remembered as well, that inspector at the end of ep 1 walking around and then there was like a ghost saying a little rhyme about foul play! what's that all about???

Ah yes remember that bit mmmm It was just that dead lads ghost prob trying to tell the inspector he was dead cos thats before they knew he was dead.

lol it is scary and a bit hard to understand in places but it was cool

At last, something made in the UK with the quality of the many American dramas , I believe they had an American producer for the first few episodes,so that explains it. It would be great if it turned into the new "Lost", "Twin Peaks" etc. However, did anyone note the links with "The Prisoner" - going back a bit of course !! Seems this could be another drama with it's origins in the 60's! But love the start of it, hope it doesn't lose the quality !

so can anyone explain the bit about the blue wall when the inspector was questioning the boy

I totally forgot about the tooth at the beginning of episode 1 as so much other stuff happened. I take it the copper is very dodgy then.

What's all this about a blue wall? I'll have to wait til next weeks Ch4 ep cos I didn't stay up to watch the E4 ep.

(At least someone agrees with me about the weirdness that is Jack's accent ha ha.)

Hmmm, having watched Ep.1 plus, reading the comments here, I must be on a different wavelength. I thought it was completely unbelievable and a waste of time/space. Apart from the mother and daughter (also the fatty in a funny sort of way) being eye-candy, The sub plots were just weird (daughter panting for the odd-job man/doctor's wife giving bj's on demand/why did they dress up the son as a girl?, etc., etc.) Finally, the on-site copper looked like a throwback from 'Life on Mars'. Whilst a witness protection housing estate, weren't there any almost normal people residing there? It seemed to me to be a poor man's 'Stepford Wives meets The Prisoner'!

This is not a dig at ITV/C4 Drama - I loved 'Talk to Me'.

yeah cape wrath was the best show ive seen in ages i cant wait 2 c how it all unfolds

n i think brian will win big bro he is the only 1 with personality the rest of dem r really annoyin!

hi guys was the 1st episode that aired on Channel 4 actually episode 1+2? im asking becasue its also on in The U.S. Under the name of Meadowlands
(bloody yanks its a british show and they even fget that 1st)

anyway there up to episode 4 over there so i thought as i enjoyed it so much id download episode 3+4 but when i went to watch them the ep which i thought was ep 3. was the E4 Episode (ep 2,) and what i thought would be ep 3 was listed as ep 4

so i went onto the showtime website (showtime is the network showing it over there) and the listing seems to be correct the ep that we got as episode 2 is actually episode 3 so im assuming the feature length episode on Channel 4 was infact a deouble bill

but im just not certain so anyone that can help clear this up i would be grateful

and just a reminder to anyone who wants to download it (isohunt and torrentspy are good sites)make sure you search for Meadowlands and not Cape Wrath

omg i love Cape Wrath. Its so strange n it creeps me out but its soooo compulsive. The casting for the show is great.

wots Felicity Jones (Zoe) been in b4?

cant wait for next week!!!

I know that you want to HATE and all, but um...this series is a co-production with Showtime.

woah! i was really spooked watching cape wrath last night! it was really eerie, bit like twin peaks but with a decent story line!
i really wanted to stay up to watch the next part on E4 but i chickened out, so i'll watch it next week....i too am dying to know why are they there???? i think they chose the cast really well, anyone know where it was filmed etc? the houses are very much in the style of Faroese/Icelandic houses etc.

The series was filmed at Leybourne Lakes near Cuxton in Kent at the end of last year/begining of this year. I live in Brenda's house the red one in the corner which is in the night shot on C4 website. Very exicting to see it on the tv after watching them film most of the stuff here!! Houses are North American/Canadian in style.......just a mine of information.....

Seem to have hit the nail on the head!!, (I live in one of the houses used!), they told us they wanted an american drama feel in the feel of Lost/24 and yes they did use an american (short californian)for the first 5-6 episodes, filmed at the end of last year. The stuff they filmed early this year was a differnet guy so will be interesting to see any difference???

wow bilbo69!!!! your house is famous!!!!!!!!that's so fab, you gonna tell us more about the filming etc, were you allowed to hang about? and any other details! ooohhh, thats fab!... i used to live in a house very simalar, was a new house and built very much in the style of nordic/faroese/newfoundland style...anyway..i've got me cushion ready to hide behind cos yippeee its cape wrath night and if its on after on e4 i'm gonna brave it out and watch it!

Was Jack killed?
Or just badly hurt?

he was killed and buried in the garden........

oooh i stayed up and watched both eps last night..but what i want to know is..when evelyn passed the note to her husband (via the mouth) and it said 'use windsong' how did she know about that??? the handler couldn;t have told her as she hadn;t met her yet????? any ideas? and what is it with the golf guy? is he brainwashing or something? OMG so wierd can hardly keep track etc!

Evelyn knew about windsong cos when she answered the phone before going to see Danny, it was a message saying "Tell Danny to use Windsong" over and over. I assume it was Samantha.

I missed a bit of it, what did Dr York say when he was about to do Evelyn's internal exam? I saw her jump up, angrily, but didn't hear what he'd said.

ahh, i must of missed that little bit (did rush to the freezer to get an ice lolly!)
re; the dr, bit strange, he just got ready to do the internal exam etc and then suddenly sais "sorry i can;t do this" that was it

OK, so this is my theory so far. All of the people are criminals, not just in protective custody for being witnesses, and a "crime experiment" is being conducted, to see how they behave, monitored externally. Jack said he wanted to go at midnight, and Samantha agreed to get it organised - sort of by organising that he would be murdered that night??? The policeman is very dodgy, but at the end of the 4th pretty violent episode last night, he appeared to have been acting on orders too, and all of a sudden nobody is being charged with murder! Maybe there is something in the water which is making people "suggestible" (like the golf guy and the footy guy !) which makes me wonder why was there a leaky pipe - was someone sabotaging it??. Probably way off the mark, but it is fun trying to work out what IS going on!

oooh interesting, i'd forgotten about the football guy, yeah that was strange etc...what happened tot the guy with the blue baseball cap from prog 1 and 2?....i wonder if any of it will any make any sense, but it's good fun trying to figure it out

What's wrong with the boy (Mark I think)? Whats with the a: dressing up in his sisters clothes, b: his gloves and c: the broken speech and stuff?

I missed 90% of the first episode as i was watching CSI on the other channel, so if anyone knows!
