Just wanting to know what happened next. Once you get into the real nitty gritty of the politics between the two families, and the fact that Noah has been arrested, it was just so intricate and detailed, and twisty and turny. The script was just a page-turner, probably more than anything I\u2019ve ever read.\u201d<\/p> <p>He added: \u201cIt really is [two different shows]. And I think I think that\u2019s what will draw the audience in, because I think you set up this very familiar setting of a family on holiday, where most people in this country go on a holiday of that kind where the boundaries are set up, you have your pool and your sun lounges and your dinners and you\u2019re with your friends and your family and everybody\u2019s letting loose a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that all changes when Noah (Louis Ashbourne Serkis in the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/no-return-cast\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">No Return cast<\/a>) gets arrested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s so powerful about this, I think, is that the reality hits home \u2013 not only does their son get arrested, but the family, both families are plunged into this completely different culture,\u201d Jibson explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd of course, they\u2019re in the middle of Turkey. And whether it\u2019s Turkey or somewhere on the other side of the globe, I mean, there\u2019s a lot to be said for how British we are as people, and when we go to a foreign country, a lot of us just expect it to be all-inclusive hotel resorts, when sometimes if you go outside the gates of the hotel, it can often be very different and very daunting, in fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Abby Robinson.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><strong>No Return premieres at 9pm on ITV tonight (Monday 7th February). <\/strong><strong>C<\/strong><span class=\"&quot;s1&quot;\"><strong>heck out our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;\">Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub for more news, interviews and features or find something to watch with\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong>our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lidia Molina-Whyte Published: Monday, 07 February 2022 at 12:00 am Following the release of The Teacher, Sheridan Smith continues her tense family drama streak with ITV\u2019s\u00a0No Return.
