On a freezing December night in 1963, the worst kind of fear strikes the secluded Northumberland hamlet of Scardale. A 13-year-old girl has vanished without a trace. Against all their instincts, the tight-knit residents must ask the outside world for help.
More than 40 years later, the dramatic events surrounding the girl’s disappearance and the hunt for her killer resurface when a high-flying TV journalist makes a documentary about the case. But what she finds will shatter the past – and the lives of everyone involved.
Juliet Stevenson, Lee Ingleby and Greg Wise star in Place of Execution, a taut psychological thriller from Coastal Productions, makers of Wire in the Blood. Adapted by acclaimed scriptwriter Patrick Harbinson from the best-selling novel by Val McDermid, the three-part drama is set in the present day with flashbacks to the 1960s. It co-stars Tony Maudsley, Philip Jackson, Emma Cunniffe and Sheila Reid.

果真谜底杀死了所有人,不过剧情比预想的走得更远,女主角牵涉进事件的方式虽有伏笔,巧合性却大到我不愿去猜测。这其实是机巧的一笔,在明确表态即成争议的故事中,女主角代表创作者免责了。说是两码事,但这里有的只是真相,正义并不曾存在不是么。角色中途的挣扎倒很棒,他们的转变过程也极纤细自然。闪回好,正常的转场却剪得别扭,音响也是。
