• The Capture (2019) is a British conspiracy thriller television series created, written and directed by Ben Chanan, and starring Holliday Grainger, Callum Turner, Laura Haddock, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, Cavan Clerkin, Paul Ritter, and Ron Perlman. It was also produced by Heyday Television as part of Universal International Studios for the BBC. The series is centered on Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger), a fast-track Metropolitan Police detective drawn into a vast conspiracy involving real-time deep-fake technology, mass surveillance and manipulated video evidence. The narrative focuses on the dangers of a "post-truth" society, examining themes of political interference, state-sanctioned disinformation, and the ethical implications of covert intelligence operations. A central plot point is the practice of "Correction," a fictional program used by intelligence agencies to edit live video feeds in real-time to create false "admissible" evidence and control public narratives.
