Witness Number 3
How far are you prepared to go to do the right thing? The claustrophobic British psychological thriller Witness Number 3 follows Jodie, who is setting up early one morning at her hairdressing salon when she glances out of the window and in a split second witnesses a killer and his victim moments before a murder. Her statement could make all the difference, but at what cost?
The four-part miniseries stars Nina Toussaint-White (Bodyguard, The Sister), who, RadioTimes says in their 4/5-star review, “shines as [the] embattled murder witness,” as well as BAFTA nominee Sue Johnston (Downton Abbey, Waking the Dead).
The Telegraph praises the show’s “creative directing … strong cast and excellent writing,” calling Witness Number 3 “a tense and convincing crime drama.”
