What happens
Framed is a British television crime drama series, created and written by acclaimed author Lynda La Plante, adapted from her novel of the same name. The four-part series, broadcast on ITV, ran from 27 November to 18 December 1992 and followed police officer Lawrence Jackson (David Morrissey), who whilst on holiday in Spain, bumps into career criminal Eddie Myers (Timothy Dalton), who was known to have been involved a bank robbery committed several years ago, but was never caught. The officer who investigated the original case, Jimmy McKinnes (Timothy West) assigns Jackson to go undercover and live with Myers in an attempt to finally bring him to justice. Annabelle Apsion co-stars as Susan Jackson, Larry's long-suffering wife who has an affair whilst Larry is working on the case, and Penélope Cruz stars as Lola Del Moreno, one of Myers' girls who has been protecting him during his time living in Spain. For its broadcast in the United States, the series was edited down into one, feature-length special, of just 120 minutes long. It removed most of the first episode, which was filmed in Spain, and various scenes of Morrissey and Apsion from the other episodes. The series was remade in the United States in 2002, starring Rob Lowe and Sam Neill in the title roles. The series was produced by Anglia Television, in association with A&E Network Television and Tesauro Productions. The complete series was released on DVD on 16 January 2006.
