TV Moments of 2011: Appropriate Adult

Dominic West's performance as Fred West may have got the headlines, but McNulty's turn as one half of the infamous serial killers veered a little too close to comedic at times. Monica Dolan's portrayal of Rose West is the one that should win awards as it was properly chilling at times, but it was sadly one that was slightly on the sidelines thanks to a story that mainly focused on the relationship between Fred and his AA Janet. Still, Appropriate Adult was the best thing on ITV for ages and any doubts before about whether this was just a sensationalist cash-in were quickly dispelled.
