Currently
running on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) on Fridays at 20:05 is the second
series of Kidnap and Ransom.
Dominic
King is the best international hostage negotiator in the business. His devotion
to his clients and his mantra, "Never Promise, Never Lie," has, until
now, meant a 100% success. If only his home life were as satisfying as his
professional.
His
latest case begins with the kidnap of a British Asian family in Kashmir. King’s
attempts to secure their safe release are jeopardised by the local police and
the incident soon escalates with the original family still in peril along with
a whole bus-load of tourists.
While
King frantically tries to ensure no lives are lost aboard the bus, the
situation becomes ever more complicated when it is revealed there is a ‘high
value’ individual among the hostages.
Kidnap and Ransom is created by Patrick Harbinson
(24, Law And Order, Wire In The Blood)
and stars Trevor Eve (Waking The Dead)
John Hannah (Spartacus) and Helen
Baxendale (Cold Feet).
