Here's everything you need to know about the new TV film…Elizabeth is Missing follows Maud, an elderly woman struggling with dementia, who becomes convinced that her best friend Elizabeth has gone missing.
Oscar-winning actress Glenda Jackson will be playing Maud in her first television role in 25 years. Speaking about the exciting role, she said:"Emma’s novel and Andrea’s screenplay paint the most striking portrait of a woman in the grip of a devastating condition. I am delighted to be making my return to television to play Maud, a character that's impossible not to be charmed and moved by.
Meanwhile, Happy Valley star Sophie Rundle will star as Maud's sister, Sukey, who went missing when they were teenagers in a series of flashbacks, while Sam Hazeldine will play Tom. Sophie said:"I think it will be poignant and I hope it's life-affirming. I don’t think it’s a damning look at memory loss and dementia, I think it’s a hopeful look at it. This is a very heartfelt and insightful look at what life is like when this sort of thing is happening.
