"Missing" on ITV

UnknownUnknown
in UK TV Shows #1
Did anyone watch the first of a two part drama on ITV last night at 9pm? It starred Joanne Frogratt and Gregor Fisher.
Joanne is one of my favourite television actresses and to date she has never been in one bad drama yet.
It was a really gripping drama.
Looking forward to the second and final episode next Sunday.
That's the first time I have ever seen the Scottish News of the World sponser a drama.

    No I didn't watch it. I was too annoyed that STV were showing this while the rest of the network was being treated to Sharpe's Peril with Sean Bean :mad:

    So Scotland never had Sharpe's Peril? Why?

    Missing was made by SMG Productions (STV) in 2006. It was made for the whole of the ITV Netork, but for some reason, ITV1 haven't shown it yet. I think the reason STV decided to show it now is because it is a two-part drama, as is Sharpe's Peril. Missing takes priority for STV as they made it themselves. I'm sure Sharpe's Peril will be shown soon enough, maybe on a Friday?

    Mibees coz Sharpe is C.R.A.P. and STV are trying to show it can run it's own network and produce it's own shows :eek: in light of the recent comments from ITV HQ south of the border. (Not that ITV have anything to fear:rolleyes:)

    This last and final part of this gripping two part drama had me on the edge of my seat. Joanne Froggatt took her part well as she always does in any of the drama's I have ever seen her in. Gregor Fisher was really good as well.
    Sorry that's the last part of it. Really enjoyed it!

    Hi there, i watched this last week, and last nights conclusion. LOVED Gregor Fisher, as the traditional 'seen it all before' glasgow cop. I was left feeling empty handed though.

    Did the scum bag who raped her, get charged with rape?

    Where is the Baby? does anyone care?

    Did her BINT, of a mother get charged with perjury, or perverting the course of justice?

    Did the nutter, dressed as a nurse, at the graveside, ever explain why she thought she was the late Doctors wife?

    Why was the Consultant at the Psycho Unit, obsessed with the dead Doc? did he love him?

    and finally.. what's the chances? of Joanne Froggat, bumping into 2 transplant recipients of the same donor?

    the only critisism of the programme, was the dubbing, of the Scottish Newsreaders accents, into an english accents, WTF?

    I hope this was a pilot, and we may have a regular series, I think Taggart needs a counterpart, maybe the occasional crossover.

    LOVED IT.

    Bonny

    p.s. My mum did too.
