A 3 part drama staring the lovely Kelley Hayes on fir 3 nights in a row on bbc 1

Sunbathing on her hotel room balcony while on a dream holiday with her family and friends, Jo’s (Keeley Hawes) world is turned upside down when shots ring out across the complex.

Gunmen, out for revenge, have, in an instant, turned a slice of paradise into a terrifying heart-breaking hell.

A story of survival and resilience, Crossfire is an edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller yet also emotional, intimate and relatable.

With the unsuspecting holidaymakers and hotel staff forced to make monumental split-second life or death decisions, the consequences will linger long after the final shots are fired.

The show’s writer Louise Doughty added: “This is a drama about a group of ordinary people caught up in an extraordinary event - a gun attack on the hotel where they are staying. In extremity, each character is faced with a set of dilemmas: and at the heart of it is Jo, who booked the holiday and unknowingly put her family and friends - and herself - at risk.

"I'm fascinated by the idea of how so-called ordinary people respond to intense pressure and I couldn't be more excited to have written this drama for Dancing Ledge Productions and the BBC and to have the amazing Keeley Hawes in the star role."

have a great cast in it

Keeley Hawes (It’s A Sin, Bodyguard, Line of Duty)
Josette Simon (Small Axe, Riviera)
Anneika Rose (Deadwater Fell, Line of Duty)
Lee Ingleby (The A Word, The Serpent Queen, Criminal UK)
Daniel Ryan (The Bay, Home Fires)
Vikash Bhai (The Stranger, Limbo)
Hugo Silva (Nasdrovia, The Cook of Castamar)
Alba Brunet (Operation Mincemeat, Paraiso, The Mallorca Files)
Shalisha James-Davis (Alex Rider, I May Destroy You)
Ariyon Bakare (His Dark Materials, Good Omens)

What was Jo's husband in I know his face but can't place him.

CornishTiger · 20/09/2022 22:06

That was bloody terrifying!

It was the friend who got shot just as the husband was ringing him saying “ I hope you get shot.”Grin

Not exactly subtle is it? I laughed a lot.

I had guessed it was him early on.

George Gently, The A Word , Line of Duty etc..

Mollypolly2610 · 20/09/2022 22:09

Thanks it must be Line of Duty

runwithme · 20/09/2022 22:21

The woman of the man who got shot is from the line of duty too, right? And of course Keeley Hawes

PuppyMonkey · 20/09/2022 22:29

Just saw someone on Twitter saying “if that idiot has lost them kids on the beach, I’ll shoot him myself.”Grin

wohmum · 20/09/2022 22:33

Really enjoyed this . Some great acting and very tense. You just knew Jo’s husband was going to see those messages !

girlfriend44 · 20/09/2022 22:36

Crazy you'd call the police wouldn't you?

I think they have, but it’s meant to be on an island and the hotel (?)manager said armed response is half an hour’s helicopter journey away.

ThisUserNameIsAvailableOk · 20/09/2022 22:44

The police are coming via helicopter

Yes, and Shetland. Anneika Rose. Really good actor.

CriticalThinkingNeeded · 20/09/2022 23:20

Nervy young waiter is obviously an insider from the shooters' group. And knife attack imminent. All those people locked in the kitchen with him, too. Oh Lord.

foxlover47 · 21/09/2022 00:17

Feeling very nervous about the young waiter in that kitchen especially now he's got himself a knife

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/09/2022 03:20

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/09/2022 07:41

@Blondeshavemorefun

We’ve stayed there twice. With kids and without.
Last time was early March ‘20. On returning to the airport to fly home, we we hearing that Spain was about to go into lockdown. Incoming flights were being turned around midair!

The arts department have done a good job just after the opening credits of making the resort look remote on the beach/hotel panning shot.

I don’t know where that coach is going in the next shot but it isn’t to that hotel!

"he knew she has secrets as she had to give him the passcode

Think maybe you're reading into that a bit. Nobody has my code but I don't have anything to hide. She had to give him the code because it was an emergency.

I'm wondering what might happen with the two little ones. Have they hidden under a bush or something?

CriticalThinkingNeeded · 21/09/2022 09:54

@AlecTrevelyan006

"...whenever they find refuge – under a table with a long tablecloth, or in a kitchen, or between stacks of pool equipment – they whip out their phones and ring each other.
“Where are you?” someone will say.
“I’m dead because you rang me while my life was dependent on staying silently hidden,” say not enough of them."

That properly made me laugh! Thought exactly that more than a few times myself.
(Though still curious enough to watch ep 2 tonight and see how the plot develops).
