TV PREVIEWS: Paul Whitelaw looks at the highlights including Viewpoint, Our Yorkshire Farm and Intergalactic By Paul Whitelaw
Viewpoint – STV, Monday to Friday, 9pm
Another one of those stripped-throughout-the-week dramas designed to cause maximum social media impact, Viewpoint is deeply indebted to Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Noel Clarke stars as a CID surveillance detective tasked with solving the disappearance of a primary school teacher. While covertly stationed in a neighbour’s flat across the road, his professional distance becomes compromised by a growing sense of panicked moral responsibility. Viewpoint falls back on some standard cop thriller tropes, but it’s quite compelling and intense. Clarke and co-star Alexandra Roach hold it all together, though – their performances are nicely understated. You can believe in them if nothing else.
