BBC surveillance thriller The Capture is returning for a third season.
The Heyday Television-produced series will take up the story 12 months after Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service’s clandestine video manipulation programme known as Correction. Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become acting head of SO15, determined to regain the public’s trust in surveillance technology through a new Operation Veritas camera system.
Ben Chanan’s thriller is boarded in Season 3 by Killian Scott (Strike, Kaos, Dublin Murders), who joins the likes of Indira Varma as BBC Newsnight presenter Khadija Khan, Ben Miles as Danny Hart, Lia Williams as Gemma Garland, Ginny Holder as Di Nadia Latif, Ron Perlman as CIA agent Frank Napier, Nigel Lindsay as Dsi Tom Kendricks, Tessa Wong as DC Chloe Tan and Daisy Waterstone as Abigail Carey.

Warning: contains spoilers for The Capture season 2 episode 3.
At the end of The Capture season 2 opener, Dci Rachel Carey revealed her real reason for having accepted the job with MI5. Hers wasn’t a case of “Can’t beat them, join them”, as she’d been accused by DS Flynn, but rather ‘join them so that she could beat them’. Carey was no turncoat. She had agreed to work for the intelligence service to secretly gather evidence and expose the practice of Correction, putting an end to the state-assisted fabrication of CCTV footage.
Dsu Gemma Garland – the spook in league with CIA agent Frank Napier and Rachel’s ex-boss and former lover Commander Danny Hart – had no choice but to offer Carey a role in MI5. She knew that Rachel had kept a copy of an incriminating video that proved Shaun Emery was innocent of Hannah Roberts’ murder. The video was Carey’s insurance,...

Warning: contains spoilers for The Capture Series 1.
The most effective horror films are the ones that make menace out of everyday things – the TV in Poltergeist, the shower in Psycho, little girls with long, wet hair in… everything. Surveillance thriller The Capture does the same by turning the simple act of walking down a city street into a paranoid, pulse-raiser. Look up at the street corners and lampposts and you’ll see them, CCTV cameras feeding a data network that, combined with deepfake technology sufficiently advanced to make it indistinguishable from magic, can make you anybody’s puppet.
That’s what happens to Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) in The Capture Series 1. First, Shaun’s barristers got him acquitted on the charge of unlawfully killing an unarmed Taliban insurgent on tour in Afghanistan. After serving six months in prison, Shaun was freed when his legal team called into question...
