I bet Sheridan Smith's agent was happy that two things with her came out so close together. Brocklehurst is best known in this house as the adapter of dodgy Harlan Coben stories.
On holiday in Turkey, her boy is accused of sexually assaulting another kid and arrested. This leads to an Uncovering - or an Unwinding - writer's conflict, if you prefer. It's enacted by Sian Brooke, Michael Jibson, Louis Ashbourne Serkis, Murat Seven, Dabid Mumeni and Lily Sutcliffe
We loved the character and performance of the Turkish lawyer, Philip Arditti. Also Cosh Omar as the judge.
Four-parter for ITV. Moral of the story? Don't go on holiday to Turkey. (It was filmed in Spain - not Morocco, as I had guessed.) Which considering the Turkish Tourist Board has been quite active in advertising recently, I found quite funny.
Maybe it's an Unravelling. Something Bad happens, and everything Unravels. It's in Chapter 3 of the TV Scriptwriter's Book.
