Series 3 might work given the 2 lead actors are so good - over to the scriptwriters to come up with something fresh and original. Preferably not a rehash of whats gone before.

I'd heard they shot two different endings depending on a third series being commissioned. There was a clue in last nights finale when I think it was Beth Latimer says something like " So that's it ? he walks away and we have to go on ? " To which the reply was something like " Yes, he cannot be retried unless there is compelling new evidence brought to light ". There is series 3

I reckon Joe will turn out to be innocent. Maybe covering up for his own son. That vicar character looks a bit shady too.

If you hadn't seen series 1 or anything outside of the courtroom, like the jury, you'd have just seen a case littered with police errors and a viable alternative narrative provided by Miller's legal team that would make it difficult to say that he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
Fair point. And I suppose miscarriages of justice do happen, the guilty do go free. Because we know Joe really did do it, or Season 1 was a bit of a travesty. Or do I have to go and watch the bloody thing again just to spot the clues that he might not have? Argh....

The fact that his lawyer originally expected a guilty plea would suggest that even they thought he was guilty and presumably had told her so. It was Miller beating him up that killed the case, as it allowed the defense to have his confession ruled as inadmissible. After that there was nothing to prove it was him.
They were. It was thrown out because Miller attacked him after he confessed.

Indeed - I thought of that on the way to the match yesterday...... but then that thought was overtaken by other far more exciting things, like goals from Baldock and Calderon's beard.
Am I missing something? He is actually Scottish.

Indeed he is. He put on an English accent to play Dr 10

Something has to happen in series 3 otherwise itll be known as the child killer who walked free programme. Yes this happens in real life but not in tv land.
I was half expecting a not guilty but them he ended up properly confessing guilt. Or commit suicide so justice is done.

Well apart from the programme showing you he did it but if they want to do some shark jumping and it turns out he is innocent and someone else then fine. but its kind of depressing that a young kid has been murdered and no one has been convicted. Or is it me?

For an innocent vicar he's awful shifty.

I agree, he seems to have distinct heterosexual tendencies, something I thought the Cof E had stamped out years ago.
They showed him confessing, but I don't remember them showing him doing it....
(though I may have nodded off at the wrong moment)

Having missed the programme originally I watched the whole of season 1 few weeks ago and they do show him strangling the boy during the confession flashback
