Further Independent Research Analysis - Kidnapp and Ransom

I thoroughly enjoyed my first viewing of Kidnapp and Ransom and felt that a further watch would increase my knowledge of an unknown crime drama. Yet again it is still a British television crime drama and it is aired on ITV1.This episode was released on air on Thursday 1st March after the watershed (9pm). As usual I watched this as a catch up on ITV Player as i have been very caught up with coursework these past few days. The episode was just a carries on from the first, but due to the interesting dialogue and different character backgrounds i was hooked. I wanted to find out if the silent intro was a one time offer only, but to my surprise it was a recurring introduction which still amazes me every time due to its unique twist.


The two kidnappers fall out as the less fervent Leela questions the need to execute hostages. The injured Mahavi is released and Flo slips her passport into his pocket to hide her identity. However he is later seen making a phone call and when the kidnappers agree to release all the women and children she is held back... There is still no IMBD rating due to being such a new episode, but the overall rating has been increased by 8 people which illustrates the growing population of views for Kidnap and Ransom. There isn't a dramatic change in the length of the episode as the second episode of the season 2 is only an extra minute (total of 46 minutes).

I know that the episode as a whole is unique and has its very on twist which stuns the auditions in shock. We know everything that's happening in the scene, but the only thing we don't know is what he is going to do next. The episode again was really fast compared to a Sherlock episode which feels never ending, I personally feel that the quicker the episode the more engaged the audience are which then makes the audience more interested.
