About This Program ✦
Kidnap is a television programme presented as a single episode, positioned within the drama genre. It is listed simply as a programme of the “episode” type, meaning the story unfolds over one instalment rather than a series. The title itself hints at a central, unsettling event that drives the narrative forward. The core of the episode revolves around Judith’s birthday party, which suddenly veers away from a typical celebration. While friends and family gather to mark the occasion, the atmosphere shifts dramatically when one of the invited guests is abducted. That unexpected kidnapping turns what should be a joyous gathering into a tense and urgent situation, forcing the characters to confront a crisis amid the festivities. The drama is brought to life by a cast that includes Sally Lindsay, Julie Graham and Lisa Maxwell. Their performances anchor the story, portraying the reactions and decisions that emerge once the kidnapping occurs. Together, the three actors deliver the emotional weight required by a plot that pivots from celebration to suspense within a single episode.
