Have been watching this week long drama with interest, only to find the final episode has been pulled tonight over alleged allegations of sexual harrassment against the lead actor. Shame, it was interesting viewing and now I doubt we'll never know what happened to Gemma.

    Us too - it's been a tense, well acted drama. I'm in 2 minds as to whether ITV are right to pull the final episode (innocent until proven guilty and all that!) - maybe have to check out digital spy to find out what happens in the end.

    (On the plus side, it means I'll be able to watch the start of the new Alan Partridge series tonight, much to Mrs M's displeasure! wink)

    I don't think ITV could've possibly aired the show tonight under the circumstances Moulesy. I was quite surprised when last night's slot was aired. As you say, guilty until proven innocent when anything like this rears it's ugly head these days. Still, if the allegations are proven unfounded, then we will get, someday, to find out what happened to Gemma. In the meantime, the alleged victim/victims need to be protected.

    I've been told that episode 5 will be on ITV Hub from around 9pm today but only until Sunday.

    Don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't materialise!

    It's very annoying of ITV to do what they have done. In no way condoning inappropriate behavior but to pull the final episode, which doesn't actually achieve anything, of a drama that probably millions have been watching is silly.

    A while ago I checked the ITV Hub and can't see any mention of the final episode?

    Yes, thanks Tinners. Mrs ExT found out the same information earlier, so it's currently downloading 👍

    Found it eventually! I don't like ITV Hub, not a patch on iPlayer. It seemed to suggest that it was on ITV2, had we known that I would prefer to record and get rid of the adverts. Anyway managed to watch the final episode, perhaps not the ending I was thinking of!!!

    We have now watched the final episode and not wishing to spoil it for others, I'll just say that we thoroughly enjoyed it. Well acted, good script, good series. Hope other followers are able to watch it before it gets pulled.
