LIKE FATHER LIKE SON ACORN TV SERIES

Director Nick Laughland has done a good deal of work in British television, notably with other crime series such as The Bill, The Last Detective, New Tricks, Silent Witness and Wire in the Blood, as well as Amnesia (2004), another fine mini-series thriller also starring Jemma Redgrave. Like Father Like Son – no relation to the Dudley Moore-Kirk Cameron bodyswap comedy Like Father, Like Son (1987) – is a tv mini-series in the estimable tradition of the British crime thriller. Now Dee cannot be sure whether her son has started following in his father’s footsteps or whether the man who has proposed to her is a murderer too. Morag was seen in Dominic’s arms just before she disappeared and wrote in her now missing diary and told several friends that she was having an affair with him. Police suspect Jamie who cannot account for what he was doing at the time, until Dee stands up to lie and create an alibi for him.

Morag is then found strangled in the woods. Meanwhile, Jamie has been following schoolgirl Morag Tait to the extent that she has had to complain about him. Barker immediately begins weaving a seductive spell on Jamie’s mind. Jamie demands to go and see his father in jail and Dee reluctantly agrees to this.

Dominic tells this to his teenage daughter Bethan and she lets it slip to her best friend and the story rapidly gets around the school. However, Jamie is eavesdropping on them talking and hears everything. She has told Jamie that his father was a pilot who died in an accident.
