Written by Gregory Burke and Clare McQuillan, based on Hideo Yokoyama's novel. We're back in Edinburgh again, which seems fashionable. Why does detective Kevin McKidd's wife Vinette Robinson run off to London? And why does bearded James Cosmo claim his daughter was kidnapped by the security forces? And what does journalist (fill in actor name later) know? Are there too many questions being asked?
Yes, it's an interesting writing dilemma, isn't it? If you make the audience ask too many questions, they can get bored and give up. Unless you have strong central characters they care about. In this case, we don't even know what's going on between the couple.
A four parter for ITV.
