It’s a terrifying thought at its core but the regular flashbacks to revisit happier moments in James’ life means we get respite from the horror of what’s unfolding. Also includes sections for planning your important yearly special dates, birthdays, gift lists and notes.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.

The question of who takes responsibility for James’ predicament, who decides to do something proactive and who excuses themselves from the responsibility, all this is masterfully explored by Watson. That’s fine if it’s accurate, but most people can spot the kind of positive talk that is divorced from reality. You could explain where you’re based (for a regional publication), what your specialism is and how you can respond quickly to requests for comment.

Five minutes later, with two pork pies and a packet of chocolate digestives in his pocket, he disappears.

If you’re talking about an unfair area of law, you can speak broadly about some of the heart-breaking cases you’ve seen.I loved the premise (if that’s the right word, considering the topic) but I have to say this fell a little short for me.

The irony is that in this storyline mobile phone technology can be instrumental and invaluable in connecting both loved ones and strangers, across continents, uniting them in a common cause, whilst James himself feels disconnected from his fellow human beings.
