These days you’ve got to be careful when using the ‘B’ word around crime dramas. It’s not a term that should be deployed frivolously, but at the risk of getting some people in a tizz we’ll use it here: What Remains is getting pleasingly Broadchurchy.
BBC One’s new four-part whodunit, What Remains, continues next weekend, starring David Threlfall in his first role since Frank Gallagher in Shameless.
“What remains!”, you might have exclaimed enthusiastically as you saw the desiccated corpse of Melissa Young stowed away in the attic.
Launching on BBC One later this month, What Remains is a neat four-part mystery thriller that arrives in the midst of Broadchurch-like successes with a simple goal: to hook its audience. And it hooks from the off.
The BBC has released a trailer for What Remains, a new four-part whodunit written by Inside Men‘s Tony Basgallop.
Although there are questions left hanging as the credits roll, the ultimate sense one is left with at the conclusion of Inside Men is satisfaction.
In the final instalment of Tony Basgallop’s tense thriller, the real motivations and intentions of the three original protagonists of the £172 million heist become clear.
In the penultimate instalment of Tony Basgallop’s tense thriller, John’s frustration with his tortuous home life leads him to commit one act of betrayal and plan another.
In the opening instalment of Tony Basgallop’s thriller, all three principal characters seemed fairly appealing – and crucially, all of them were interesting and believable.
In the second instalment of Tony Basgallop’s tense thriller, Marcus jeopardises the plan by involving a calculating local gangster in the heist.
