The Stepfather is a two-part British television crime drama series, written by Simon Booker and directed by Ashley Pearce, that first broadcast on ITV on 6 February 2005.[1] The series, which stars Philip Glenister and Lindsey Coulson,[2] follows divorcee Dougie Molloy (Glenister), a man haunted by the disappearance of his fifteen-year-old daughter, who three years on, tries to rebuild his life by marrying a fellow divorcee, Maggie Shields (Coulson). But when Maggie's daughter Scarlett disappears in similar circumstances, Molloy's possible involvement in both crimes is investigated by the police.[3]
The series was filmed in and around Soho, London. The series was later broadcast in Sweden, Australia, Brazil (under the title O Padrosato) and France (under the title Suspicion).[4] The series gathered respectable viewing figures, with 6.7 million tuning in for the first episode, and a further million tuning in for the second episode.[5] Notably, the series has yet to be released on DVD.
