Buried Treasure (2001 TV Movie)
8/10
A lovely, sentimental drama
4 August 2016
Hidden Treasure takes you on an emotional roller-coaster of a journey, it moves through different stages of bleakness, loathing, realisation and happiness. An unusual role I thought for John Thaw to have done, but I doubt he'd have agreed to the role of Harry had he not seen some gold in the script. He is well supported by Wil Johnson, Rachel Davies, and of course young Dominique Johnson.

Quite a sad and tragic story, they did a good job in ensuring that the sweeter elements win through over the bleaker parts. It is one of those dramas of self discovery, and in some ways you have an idea of the plot soon after it begins, that said it doesn't stop this being very enjoyable.

I miss this kind of drama, these emotionally engaging one off's seem a thing of the past, it's always nice to be moved once in a while. 8/10.
