Gerry and Kate McCann say they are disappointed by a new Channel 5 true-crime drama, “Under Suspicion: Kate McCann,” which is set around the 2007 investigation into the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine. According to multiple reports, the couple says the programme was made without seeking their consent. They argue the portrayal of events and depiction of their family and the early investigation has a “negative impact” on them. The articles also note that the drama includes scenes that depict Kate McCann being cross-examined during the initial investigation, which the parents say is distressing and not appropriate given the circumstances. The Independent and other outlets report the parents’ criticism, describing their reaction as disappointed. The reports focus on the McCanns’ response and do not indicate a public reply from Channel 5 or the programme’s creators in the material provided. The dispute centers on consultation and the effect of dramatized coverage on the family rather than on new factual claims about the case itself.
