  5. Number 5: 70 Up | Last Seen | Reckless

    Kylie Pentelow sits in for Naga Munchetty in today’s episode of Must Watch, as she joins Hayley and Scott for this week’s reviews. Our first review is the highly anticipated end of the Seven Up series, with 70 Up: The Final Chapter. It began in 1964, with the late director Michael Apted filming seven-year-olds talking about their lives and ambitions. He revisited them every seven years, until he passed away in 2021. This final edition catches up with the original cast one last time. Apple TV crime drama Last Seen is next, starring Patrick Brammal (Colin from Accounts) and Maxine Peake. A former police officer, still grieving the loss of his kidnapped daughter over a decade prior, starts seeing signs that she may still be out there. Lastly, there’s the Australian crime comedy Reckless, a four-part Australian adaptation of the Scottish programme Guilt. Two siblings accidentally cause the death of an elderly man on the way back from a wedding. Rather than calling in the accident, they decide to try and cover their tracks instead.
