Series 10 Episode Ideas (just for fun)

[A Cousin]

The Husband and I heard a radio interview with David Rohde and Kristen Mulvihill, a New York Times reporter who was kidnapped in Afghanistan on his way to interview a moderate Taliban commander for a book he was writing and his wife. In the US, the FBI who are the lead agency for kidnappings of American citizens no matter where. Don't know if this is the same in the UK? The potential for a plot like this to tie into the HR "thang" is apparent, I think. But that is for elsewhere. I will let you be the judge.

The whole situation is about as dramatic as dramatic can be:

~They were both in their late 30's having spent their youth concentrating on their careers.
~They had only been married for two months when he was kidnapped.
~They were on opposite sides of the media spectrum: he is a war correspondent for the New York Times, she is a photo editor for Vogue.
~It was the last interview he was going to conduct for the book and he purposefully didn't tell her about it.
~He wrote her a heartbreaking note about what to do in a worse case scenario.
~She had meet with the FBI and to talk to the captors. (Her account of the first meeting with the FBI is kinda funny.)
~The New York Times successfully blacked out the media completely.
~He eventually made a dramatic escape while his captors slept.
