Radio Times Top 40 TV Shows of 2016: 10 to 1

6. The Missing (BBC1)

A drama that made people shout and swear at the TV. Each week was more deliciously twisty, horrifying and moving than the last, with Keeley Hawes and David Morrissey playing bereft parents whose agony reached new planes when their missing daughter returned to them. Or did she? The Missing was a staggeringly clever, beautifully written thriller that kept viewers awake at night wondering, with a shudder, what on earth was going on. At its centre, Tcheky Karyo as detective Julien Baptiste was mesmerising in his obsessive pursuit of the truth. Kasia Delgado
