Product Description
A taut and gripping four-part conspiracy thriller, HIDDEN is written by Ronan Bennett (PUBLIC ENEMIES, THE HAMBURG CELL) in collaboration with veteran Hollywood screenwriter Walter Bernstein (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, FAIL SAFE).
Directed by Niall MacCormick (ALBATROSS, WALLANDER, THE LONG WALK TO FINCHLEY), the thriller is set across London and Paris at a time when Britain is in a state of political turmoil: there is rioting on the streets and the coalition government has collapsed.
The drama centres on Harry Venn (Phil Glenister - ASHES TO ASHES, LIFE ON MARS), a high street solicitor who is forced to delve back into his murky past. When a mysterious lawyer, Gina Hawkes (Thekla Reuten THE AMERICAN, IN BRUGES) turns up asking Harry to find a missing alibi witness for her client, he agrees to take on the job but becomes unwittingly drawn into investigating the death of his brother twenty years ago. Harry quickly finds himself caught up in a much bigger and more complex conspiracy...
The cast includes: Harry Venn played by Philip Glenister, Gina Hawkes played by Thekla Reuten, Sir Nigel Fountain played by David Suchet, Elspeth Verney played by Anna Chancellor, Paul Hillman played by Mark Flitton, Fenton Russell played by Thomas Craig, Frank Hanna played by Richard Dormer, Steve Quirke played by Paul Ritter, Alexander Wentworth played by Bertie Carvel.

Format:DVD
The first three episodes build on a tense and exciting plot. Many threads and plot lines are set up and we were very excited to see the fourth and final episode. How utterly disappointing that the fourth and final episode ended without ever drawing any conclusions, without ever explaining what had happened. It felt as if the series was originally meant to be twice as long but funding was cut and the writers and director had to cut off in the middle of the story.

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did - it was taut, tense viewing, and rare that smart political thrillers come along from BBC (not since State of Play?). Great cast - the actress Thekla Reuten should be in more! - and Glenister shrugs off Gene Hunt to play Harry Venn impeccably. Highly recommended. Bring back Venn for series 2!

I missed this series when it came out but (only six month's later) found the DVD and it looked interesting. The series has its flaws and quite a few (i.e. many) open questions at the end; but, hey, its only TV and Philip Glenister was very good indeed. Not that the others were not but he made it. Much cloak and dagger stuff mixed up with very up-to-date politics (riots aginst a failing government - sound familiar?), never quite sure what is going on - and any thoughts you have are refined every few minutes anyway.
Good stuff, bring on more!

Disagree!
Whilst I think that Glenister is an excellent actor, I feel that the storyline of Hidden left a lot to be desired. Read more

was unsure at first but really got into it
As I think another reviewer commented it is a little complicated at first and it certainly requires your full attention. Read more
