A quite disturbing story about social work and child care. Protection by Timothy Prager.
A child goes missing and we suspect the parents are up to something - they are, but it's not what we think. In tandem an angry young man finds one sister is being fostered and another about to be adopted; his mum is with someone unsuitable. Oh yes, and another couple are questioned over bruises on their baby. And central to all of this is social worker Claudie Blakley, who we sense errs on the side of caution a bit too much. The ending is heartbreaking.
John Dalgleish we know from something - Lark Rise. Amit Shah is a useful doctor. Otherwise didn't particularly recognise anyone. Directed by Daniel O'Hara.
None of the humour from the previous Nikki-Harry relationship seems to have survived, unfortunately.
