A third echoed the confusion, writing: “Sorry but where was the tent and why did they let mum see the bones? #TheTower,” while a fourth joked: “Of course they’re going to bring a mother to look directly at her dead daughter’s skeleton #thetower “, as a fifth simply said, “Not very likely, is it?”
However, others were more lenient with the scene and even compared it to another hit ITV drama, Unforgotten, which stars Sanjeev Bhaskar, Sinead Keenan and, previously, Nicola Walker. One said to a fan’s objection: “Then you haven’t seen Unforgotten!”
