We were obsessed with The Drowning, Channel 5's twisty-turny drama which starred Jill Halfpenny as Jodie - a woman who has struggled to keep her life together after her four-year-old son drowned.
When she catches sight of a teenage boy named Daniel, she's convinced it's her son.

The captivating four-part series kept us hooked up until the very end, however, the shock ending left fans divided as not everyone seemed on board with the show's final twist.

And now, Jill Halfpenny has suggested the success of the programme could lead to The Drowning returning for a second series.
