Witness Number 3

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.

I can't understand the low reviews at all! I wasn't expecting much from Channel 5 to be honest, but thought I'd give this one a go. Was drawn in from the first episode and slowly, the fear sets in! This series was intense... and very well acted by Nina especially.

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.

The storyline is ok, but surely the police wouldn't leave their only witness (a single mother living on her own in the middle of the estate) without putting her into witness protection? She's still walking around as if everything is normal? Wide open to a drive by shooting or random stabbing maybe? Laughable 😂 I stopped watching at the beginning of episode 2 when they started the DIY on her flat! 🙄

The first episode was tense especially the ending.

The remaining 3 episodes just plod on with some good scenes. It's the lead character that completely ruins the show, she's not convincing at all and there's just nothing about her.

A rarity for these series is that there's a satisfactory ending.

The wooden police cast were terrible and i couldn't have cared less about their role in the story towards the end. So what?

No shocks or twists here, it's just watchable for the tense scenes when this woman is up against the gang.
