It's getting increasingly bizarre, the weird nightclub for the blue
hand/ already ghost was silly especially with the Iraqi torture thing
going on - shoehorn that in why don't they!

Surprised the bloke jumped off the roof - wouldn't have thought they'd
kill off characters so early! Pity tooo as he was the only one with a
proper hair cut - what's with Dimitri's bouffant ??

I don't know about blue hands but remember the Red Hand Gang with the
annoying La-La-La-La theme tune and the speccy black kid played by
James Bond III?

No, the Double Deckers were the Double Deckers. The Red Hang Gang were
the Red Hang Gang. I can see how you were confused though. Here:

Surely there must have been better ways to change the future? I mean, what if
he'd landed on the woman whose life he was trying to save?!

Yes, it must have been the late 70s/early 80s. I thought it was quite
popular at the time actually.
Here's more about it:

I'm wondering what has happened to the lesbian FBI agent as well, as
she didn't seem to be in this episode.

Plotwise, it doesn't matter - he still won't be in London on April 30th.

If it was on in the late 70's I may have been too old for it yet this
was the time before pc's and gaming when even 5th year kids would slump
in front of the TV and watch Rhubarb.

Until you mentioned it I'd *never* heard of it at all.

Well that's what we all thought - he's bound to land on her, but no so
what's going to happen now?

She was in the hospital saying she was going to have trouble having kids
because of her womb or something.

Suppose he was lying about his flash-forward all the time, and in fact
saw nothing? It's all just too confusing ... compelling too though.

So how come the lady from MI5 saw him in *her* flashforward?

Ah, but did she? I think she was only pretending she did. We heard her
say she saw him, but we never actually saw him in those flashforwards
ourselves.

Oh yes we certainly did, in the pilot & again in this week's episode.

He was in her FF and she was in his FF, but now that future must change.

I've been predicting this for ages, since *none* of the FFs have people
celebrating the fact that it's FF Day. The story is a new iteration.

She said: So then he must have already had the head with him in the
front seat. Huh, that's weird. Why would he keep it there?
He said: I don't know. So he could use a carpool lane.
