Your Reviews: Episode 1

Christine Tremarco as Leanne

We asked for your comments on Five Days, you said:

"I was gripped from start to finish."
"I was gripped from start to finish, and hope it's not going to have an unrealistic or damp squib ending.

What's with the 'rusty penknife' comment? Why did hubby not mention this call? Why have the police not traced her mobile phone records? Didn't the daughter mention something about her leaving before? Did Rosie get in the car with Kyle? What was he washing?

So glad I've not got any studying to do, so I can watch this."

Jeanette Dean, Liverpool

"I was absolutely blown away by the first episode. It was hard to watch but so compelling and I love the way the characters are touching each other's lives. Can't wait for the next one!"

Val, London

"I nearly switched this off. The first 30 minutes were so slow and so involved. Even now I have misgivings about such a convoluted plot - and who on earth set the schedule for the episodes? They certainly didn't have the regular viewer in mind.

As to theories - at this stage it would be madness. I think they are making this one up as they go...."

David Green, Weston-Super-Mare

"Are the mother and Rosie both dead?"
"My theory - truck driver abducts mother, man in van abducts Rosie. Both dead? No twists or turns, just straightforwad abductions, everyone else left with messed up lives though."

Becky, London

"How sad was the first episode? I cried from begining to end (nearly) and desperately want to find out what happens next. Totally believable, makes you want to go upstairs and hug your own loved ones."

Rebecca, South East England
