What was this crime drama called?

This is a really long shot but if anyone will get it, it's you guys! I'm really into crime dramas and I remember watching a really good one with my mum several years ago but can't remember what it was called (or much about it tbh!)

It was around 2010, it had several episodes - maybe 3 or 4. It was about a female who was kept captive in a house with a male. She was told that men in white vans were spying on her and monitoring her so she couldn't leave the house. I also think there was something to do with a basement or a trap door with a rug that covered it? It would have been on one of the mainstream UK channels so BBC or ITV probably.

Does this ring any bells for anyone or does anyone know what it was called?

I watched it on my iPad last night. It was excellent and the grainy quality of the film really added to the creepy ambience.

The quality made me feel old 🤣

I’m watching it now and googled as it reminded me of a woman near me in the 80s/90s who was kidnapped and put in a box in the man’s workshop. I was wondering if it had been inspired by that. It wasn’t, but it is loosely based on a real USA kidnapping.

Probably inot this if you are sure it was 2010 as this is more recent but a wife, husband and their daughter held captive in a house. Juliet Stevenson is the wife

It's pretty psychologically disturbing.

Wolf was good

I did a thread in it

But

The ending isn't the same as the book

Was that Suzy Lamplugh, the young estate agent.

@Blondeshavemorefun I missed 'Wolf' so thanks for mentioning it. I've tracked it down on BBC iplayer so will be watching that next.

Interestingly, Owen Teale is in that too!

I only watched Episode 1 of this and bailed, didn't like the way it was heading!

Wolf is def worth it. Very good

No. Stephanie Slater, also an estate agent

I have wondered about this show for years! It was so gripping. Am a bit scared to watch it again though because it was so disturbing.
