    Storyline

    Edit
    Elizabeth Is Missing is adapted from Emma Healey's bestselling 2014 novel and stars Glenda Jackson as Maud - a woman struggling with dementia who must attempt to piece together what has happened to her best friend Elizabeth. After Elizabeth goes missing, Maud is convinced that something terrible has occurred, and she sets out to solve the mystery, all the while fighting against time as her dementia worsens. As Maud becomes more forgetful, the distinctions between past and present begin to blur - and she begins to wonder whether the mystery is connected to the decades-old unsolved disappearance of her own sister, Sukey. —AnonymusB

    An acting masterclass
    The story is solid if somewhat too labyrinthine.

    There is an excellent supporting cast with Helen Behan & Nell Williams putting in very strong performances.

    Then there is Glenda Jackson wow! Utterly compelling and absolutely plausible, if this had seen higher investment and a cinematic release she'd have the Oscar in the bag! You might need a handkerchief to discreetly dab if you find your face unexpectedly leaking.

    It is commendable that BBC is commissioning programmes of such high quality.
