Overview

Forgotten is a three-part British television drama series, created and written by playwright Caleb Ranson, that first broadcast on ITV on 15 February 1999. The series stars Paul McGann and Amanda Burton, and follows Ben Turner (McGann), a happily-married father to a six-year-old daughter, whose life is turned upside down by the arrival of a letter in the mail, whose writer claims to have information relating to his involvement in a murder several years earlier. Events are further complicated when Rachel Monroe (Burton), the mother of the victim, arrives at Turner's bed & breakfast in an attempt to discover the truth behind the crime. The series broadcast over three consecutive nights, with the concluding episodes following on 22 February and 1 March 1999. The first episode drew 12 million viewers, while the second attracted 11.2 million, and the final episode attracted 11.9 million. The series aired as part of PBS' Mystery! strand in the United States, and was released on Region 1 DVD on 2 October 2001; however, this title is now out of print. The series is yet to be released on Region 2 DVD. Production Amanda Burton, when interviewed by PBS regarding her role as Rachel Monroe, commented: "Rachel can be mischievous... I must admit that it's nice being a bit wicked or devilish as Rachel." Reception Larisa Lomacky Moore for Amazon.com wrote; "The end is guaranteed to surprise and disturb even the most astute armchair detective."

Notable quotes

“[M]y memory rests, but never forgets what I lost.”
— Billie Joe Armstrong, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", American Idiot (2004), California: Reprise Records
“That frivolous young widow ought to have paid for the solace she declared so often she found in books. "I must read to forget." All very well, but she should not forget to pay for the means of forgetfulness. The waters of Lethe may be waters bought without money and without price, but my books ought to be paid for in cash.”
— William Darling, The Bankrupt Bookseller, 1947, p. 178.
“I’m the best there is at what I do. At least the people still living after I’m done undoing would say that. Everyone calls me Wolverine. I don’t remember other names. In fact, I don’t remember much of anything.”
— James Logan Howlett (Hugh Jackman), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (video game) (2009)
“You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em.”
— Michael De Santa, The Jewel Store Job, Grand Theft Auto V
“Unliving things have no passions, and no memory: mere matter is the amnesia of the universe.”
— John C. Wright, The Far End of History (2009) in Gardner Dozois & Jonathan Strahan (eds.) The New Space Opera 2 (mass market paperback edition, ), p. 589
“Etiam oblivisci quod scis interdum expedit.”
— It is sometimes expedient to forget what you know.
