Drama: A Likeness in Stone 9.30pm BBC1
Obsession, murder and past guilty secrets that gnaw away at the present are the themes behind this dour two-part thriller. A few days after an undergraduate (Andrew Lincoln) holds a party in his parents' house, one of the guests is reported missing. The copper in charge of the case (Liam Cunningham) is so obsessed with the possibility that the guest has been murdered by her boyfriend (Jonathan Firth) he ruins his life over it. Ten years later, the missing woman's body is dredged up from the reservoir, and with it, the secrets, guilt and, ultimately, the truth about her death. Seamless editing of past into present and a great cast are the bonuses. (FL)
