During a family holiday at the seaside, mother Sarah (Aird) and father David (Kotz) lose sight of their eldest daughter, four year old Alice Hooper. Despite a frantic search the child's body is never found. 11 years later Sarah and David are still trying to cope with their loss. Their two other children, Sean and Jasmine are now young teenagers and if she had survived Alice would be 14.

One day Sarah catches a glimpse of a girl at her local shopping centre and is convinced it is Alice. Returning the next day to confirm her suspicions Sarah sees the girl again and follows her to a flat on an out of town estate.

To me; a layman; I find this series thoroughly enjoyable, it may not be true to life but that does not stop it being good, and as for Rumpole of the Bailey I would rate JJD well above, as enjoyable as Rumpole is I think JJD is far more absorbing and I find his personal life and it's problems; though I must say they are slightly over the top; add to the reality, as I should think anyone Judge, jury or the executioner will all have their ups and downs in their lives, and one thing I particularly like is how his colleagues are continually trying to pull him down but JJD always manages to get the upper hand. I would recommend anyone who has not seen an episode of Judge John Deed to take look; you will be hooked.
