Wexford is investigating the disappearance of a teenage girl when she suddenly turns up, unharmed. Meanwhile, news that a convicted paedophile is being released into the community causes unrest in Kingsmarkham. Then, when the three–year–old daughter of a local businessman vanishes, the crowd takes matters into its own hands…
- George Baker:
The story is really about abuse, not only the abuse of children but also the abuse of a wife by her husband, and the hurt caused to children and family. It also addresses the prejudice caused by misunderstanding the nature of an abuser. It’s a very cleverly interwoven plot and I believe Ruth Rendell is making something of a political statement. She’s bringing up something that should be addressed by society as a whole, even though some people might prefer to push it under the carpet.
- Harm Done was filmed in April 2000 at Bray Studios and at RAF Northolt on the outskirts of London. The producers enlisted the help of the Hampshire Constabulary who ensured that the police incident room and press conference looked as realistic as possible. They set up dummy Police National Computer pages and provided the press releases and the press conference backdrop for a crucial scene in the film.
