Witness Number 3

The story was a litte sketchy here and there, but it was dark, tense and different. Lead roles were very believable too. Good cast. Definitely worth a watch.

Hairdresser Jodie is brave enough to give evidence when she sees a crime committed, however her life is made unbearable by gang members, she faces a campaign of intimidation and threats.

Was this perhaps the most accomplished standalone drama from Channel five so far? They've been a bit hit and miss, this truly was a hit.

A cracking four part series, well paced, dramatic, ultimately satisfying. It's a mix of thriller, mystery and horror, the earlier episodes really do unnerve you, you wonder if they'd put people off coming forward.

Part three is the highlight I thought, an incredible, powerful two hander for the most part, showcasing some true acting talent.

I thought the acting was terrific, great to see Nina Touasaint-White having a lead role, well deserved, real talent, I first remember her from an episode of Doctor Who. Ruaridh Mollica, who played Po, I thought was a revelation.

I always find it interesting with these dramas to see where they were filmed, it's assumed it's London, but this was filmed in Ireland.

Cracking series, 9/10.

Can't understand the poor ratings. Excellent drama. Took my breath away at times. A very thought provoking drama which left me feeling quite overwhelmed by what was happening to this family. Personally I thought the acting was great. After some of the appalling dramas we have been presented with, this for me was well worth watching.

The soundtrack and production values, from locations to lighting to camera angles even the hoodie costumes, are all excellent. They build a modern horror atmosphere to mix with the thriller aspect. It's just that the acting is a little stilited. It's still one of the best series I've seen from C5 and very watchable. Try to catch it.

I gave it a 6 but it's more a 5.7. Too many moments where actions go against good or rational judgement. Overall the director was asleep at the wheel. Also... there are more "pie in the sky" situations than necessary. All this said... it is watchable.
