In May 2007, the nation was gripped by the hunt for 3-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann, who disappeared from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal after her parents went out to a nearby restaurant.

Now, one of the most famous and heavily reported missing person cases in modern history has been turned into a factual drama for Channel 5, focusing on Madeleine’s mother, Kate, being interviewed as part of the search for her daughter.
