Production[edit]
The series was originally titled The Breakdown.[7] Filming began in February 2014 with help from the Belgian government's tax shelter scheme. The series was co-produced by New Pictures, Company Pictures, Two Brothers Pictures and Playground Entertainment with Fortis Film Fund, Czar TV Productions and Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie.[8] The distributor is All3Media who sold the series at MIPCOM.[9] The series producer is Chris Clough and the executive producers are Charlie Pattinson, Willow Grylls and Elaine Pyke for New Pictures, John Yorke for Company Pictures, Harry and Jack Williams for Two Brothers Pictures, Polly Hill for the BBC, Colin Callender for Playground Entertainment and Eurydice Gysel for Czar TV Productions. The Missing was commissioned by Charlotte Moore and Ben Stephenson for BBC One.[2]
Although the first story is set in France and the United Kingdom, most of the scenes were filmed in Huy, Halle, Charleroi and Brussels, Belgium,[10] taking advantage of the Belgian Tax Shelter for film funding.[8] Only a few scenes were shot in Paris and London.
Synopsis[edit]
Tony Hughes, his wife Emily and their five-year-old son Oliver, are traveling from the United Kingdom to northern France for a holiday. It is the summer of 2006, during the FIFA World Cup. Soon after entering France, their car breaks down. They are forced to spend the night in the fictional small town of Châlons du Bois. That evening, Tony and Oliver visit a crowded outdoor bar, where a quarter-finals football match is being watched. Tony loses sight of his son, who goes missing.
Eight years later, Oliver has not been found; the police have closed their investigation. Now divorced, Tony has continued to search for his son after seeing a recent photograph in which a little boy is wearing a scarf identical to the one Oliver was wearing on the day he disappeared and made for him with a unique insignia. Tony and Julien Baptiste, the retired detective who led the original investigation, start to put the pieces together. The police decide to officially reopen the case.[10][11]

In 2016 Baptiste has a brain tumour. He flies to Kirkuk, Iraq, searching for a British Army Trooper Daniel Reed. Baptiste feels he is being followed. Assisted by a resident European reporter, he approaches the front line where the two are captured by Peshmerga soldiers.[17] | |||||||

She asks Matthew to lock her in the shed, and to do a favour: to visit Herz in prison and apologise for her actions. That night the shed is ablaze. Sam is badly burned attempting to save her but only a corpse remains. In 2016 the Peshmerga soldiers lead Baptiste to Daniel Reed, AWOL, who tells him he has discovered a dark secret about his father; Henry Reed had been making regular payments to a Mirza Barzani in Erbil.
