Guilt returns for third series

BROUGHTY Ferry writer and producer Neil Forsyth, pictured, is bringing his award-winning series Guilt back for its final series.

Guilt follows brothers Max and Jake as they rebuild their lives following an accidental hit-and-run.

Forsyth said: “We always saw Guilt as a trilogy, so I am thrilled to be writing a final act for Max, Jake and some of the others we have met along the way.”

Guilt was the first series to be commissioned for BBC Scotland when the channel was launched and went on to win Best Drama at the Scottish Baftas in 2020.

Louise Thornton, BBC head of commissioning, said: “We are incredibly proud of Guilt.

“To be able to bring it back for a third and final time gives us the chance to wrap up the story of Max and Jake which we know will involve some hairraising and edge-of-the-seat moments which the audience have come to expect.”

Jon Petrie, director of BBC Comedy, said: “Guilt is a Scottish gem that we couldn’t resist bringing back.”
