What happens

Marian, Again is a two-part British psychological thriller serial, written by Ben Court and Caroline Ip and directed by David Drury, that broadcast across two consecutive nights on ITV from 5 September 2005. Filmed in and around Manchester and on Ballaugh and Douglas on the Isle of Man during May and June 2005, the serial is based upon the real-life kidnapping of Colleen Stan in the United States. Also taking inspiration from the cases of Marc Dutroux and Natascha Kampusch, Marian, Again follows married father of three Chris Bevan (Stephen Tompkinson), who whilst taking his daughter to school exam, seemingly catches sight of his first girlfriend, Marian Walsh (Kelly Harrison), who mysteriously disappeared fifteen years ago and has not been seen or heard from since. Marian, Again broadcast over two consecutive nights, with parts one and two attracting 6.76 million and 5.95 million viewers respectively. The serial was released on DVD in Denmark on 13 September 2006, but this remains the only official release worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
