Apparitions [Week 50]
Find out what happens in the penultimate episode of the new spooky and dark BBC drama starring Martin Shaw as a priest.
Episode Five. BBC One, Thursday 11th December. 9pm Jacob is sceptical when a young Muslim, Zaid, claims he has been seeing visions of the Virgin Mary, as the supernatural drama continues. When the boy admits he has been shown images of his dead father suffering in Hell, Jacob becomes convinced that it is Satan playing tricks on him. In her search for the truth about Michael, Sister Ruth visits Vincenzo in prison. Vincenzo confirms that, although Michael was an innocent vessel, he was responsible for Vimal’s death. When Jacob refuses to involve the authorities, Sister Ruth takes her discovery to Bukovak – but she is surprised when he, too, seems hesitant to contact the police. Michael, meanwhile, is feeling increasingly vulnerable after a visitation by a demon. Later, when Zaid’s brother seems to recognise Michael, Jacob realises that their fates may be intertwined and that this may be the key to unlocking Michael’s past.
Martin Shaw is Father Jacob, Jamie Blackley is Zaid, Rick Warden is Michael, Siobhan Finneran is Sister Ruth, Luigi Diberti is Monsignor Vincenzo, John Shrapnel is Cardinal Bukovak and Hassani Shapi is the imam, Ahmed.
