Joan (2024 Anna Symon)

Based on a true story, a single mum in the eighties turns to crime to try to reunite her with her daughter.

Some of her outfits are hilarious.

But trying to do a deal with the IRA starts a downward spiral, culminating in a disastrous jewellery store robbery and imprisonment, leaving her much further from being reunited with her daughter. Then in an abrupt ending, it's four years later, she's back in Spain, her former accomplice gives her money, and she's going to start some kind of crime dynasty... It's not a very satisfying ending, to say the least.

Sophie Turner, Kirsty Curtis, Frank Dillane, Laura Aikman, Gershwyn Eustache Jr.


6 x 45m for ITV.
