## Unaired Series 3 Finale

The fifth and finale episode of series 3 was due to air on 9 September 2020 at 9pm on BBC One. However, a repeat of episode 2 from series 1 aired. The production company of Reported Missing told Gloucestershire Live that the change was for legal reasons: “The run was originally planned to be five new programmes, the majority of which featured Gloucestershire Constabulary, but for legal reasons, a repeat is now going in on the fifth and final week”.
