The Tourist	comment	The Tourist is a Mystery Thriller TV drama written by Harry and Jack Williams and produced in part by The BBC as well as several other international companies. The first series, consisting of six episodes, was broadcast in 2022.Jamie Dornan plays a man, initially known only as "The Man", who is involved in a car crash in the Australian Outback, and subsequently wakes up in hospital with complete amnesia. Using what limited clues he has, and with the help of a friendly local police officer called Helen (Danielle Macdonald), he tries to find out who he is. As the plot develops and various unsavoury characters start to take in interest in The Man, it becomes increasingly clear that his past is much, much murkier than first assumed.For a time, it was the most-watched show on the BBC's iPlayer streaming platform, with the first episode ending up as the third most-watched individual programme on iPlayer in 2022.This led to an originally-unplanned second series, in which The Man and Helen travel to Ireland to find out more about the former's past. It was broadcast in 2024.

The Tourist / int_1779327d	type	Rural Gangsters
The Tourist / int_1779327d	comment	Rural Gangsters: The crux of the first season is revealed to link to a drug empire that runs throughout the Australian outback, where the drugs are smuggled into the country in the stomachs of trafficked drug mules, and then distributed under the supervision of "Big" Billy Nixon (a stereotypical Texan who dresses like a cowboy), who uses his long-distance trucking company to secretly smuggle the drugs. Likewise whilst it implied the ring leader, the international Greek crime boss Kosta is based and regularly operates in more urban surroundings, he has several traits in common with the country setting, such as being introduced out boar hunting in the woods which he'd done since boyhood. Season two introduces the Cassady's (for whom the Man happens to be a member, an Irish Mob crime family who, whilst their territory extends into the nearby towns, are based within a small village in largely rural Ireland. Niamh Cassidy's men dress like labourers and she possesses massive amounts of sway and support in the local community, partially due to her reinvesting her profits within it. This stands in contrast to their rivals the McDonnel's who use a whiskey distillery in town they own as their base and have a more urban and sophisticated presentation (something Niamh even mocks when rallying her troops whilst holding a meeting at her base of operations, her families pub).

When Elliot and Helen wake up in bed together after getting drunk the previous night, it's unclear whether or not they had sex; Helen swears they went no further than kissing, although as she had consumed several dirty martinis after trying said cocktail for the first time, she may not remember everything. Did DS Slater murder his wife, or is he telling the truth about her dying of natural causes and him being too grief-stricken to report her death, leading him to conceal her body in the basement?

They, having not heard of the Big Bad of the first series, are momentarily confused as to why them kidnapping someone would have anything to do with a coffee shop (Costa Coffee being a leading British chain of coffee shops, with over a hundred outlets in Ireland). Elliot's attempt to get away from his kidnappers in the first episode of the second series is accompanied by "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders, which is playing on the radio of the kidnappers' van.

He is later killed as a result of being impaled on that very shard. Elliot's lighter, which offends the ticket inspector on the train, is later used to enable Elliot to make a Molotov cocktail in a bid to escape from the McDonnells. Ethan's rape whistle gets used to distract a heavy who's got Elliot at his mercy. Ethan again; although the fact that he has an app on his phone that tracks Helen's movements is rightly called out as stalking, it does help him and Elliot to try and find Helen when she goes missing.

The first time the Man visits a gas station and is told by the attendant that he must sign the register to get the key to the outside toilet, he reacts with an incredulous "Why would you need to sign for it? It's not like you're trying to buy it". He says the same thing when he revisits the gas station after getting amnesia.

When they go on the run, The Man and Helen are compared to Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise. When trying to explain the Cassidy-McDonnell feud to Helen, Ruairi asks her if she has heard of Hatfields & McCoys. Although it's not mentioned outright, Ruairi himself exhibits behaviour similar to that of Norman Bates.

The Tourist / int_dcbe8a6e	comment	Chekhov's Gunman: Or rather, Chekhov's 'Roos. Everyone talks about not wanting to drive at night in the Outback because the kangaroos go for the headlights (making it highly likely that you'll hit them, and an animal that size can do considerable damage to the front of a car). We don't get to see any until the last episode — in which, guess what, they do indeed go for the headlights, although an impact is avoided. In the second series, Ruairi's next-door neighbour seems like a one-shot character but is actually this, as she's later revealed to be the widow of the real Elliot Stanley.

The Tourist / int_dd2d3bda	type	Global Ignorance
The Tourist / int_dd2d3bda	comment	Global Ignorance: When her conversation with The Man shifts from her and Ethan's intended honeymoon plans to travel in general, Helen remarks that she'd love to see the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg; given that she had just mentioned that they were going to go to Florida (which has a city of that name, named after the Russian original), it seems that she may have fallen victim to this trope. It's an ambiguous case, though, since she specifically mentioned where Ethan wanted to go when she mentioned Florida, and it's never confirmed whether or not she knows that the St. Petersburg where the Winter Palace is is actually the Russian one note this omission in detail may be partially justified as a possible hint that her personal wishes normally take a backseat to Ethan's in their rather one-sided relationship, and thus she rarely has a chance to actually express them in discussion since they'd be irrelevant (to him); given how switched-on she turns out to be, it does seem unlikely that she would fall victim to this trope . It's possible that she simply assumes that The Man (with whom she shares the conversation) already understands the geographical distinction.

He is willing to go to jail for it but Lena declines to talk to the cops. Having noticed that he has developed a conscience, she figures out that the guilt he will suffer for the rest of his life is the worst punishment she can offer him; prison would merely help him to assuage that guilt, and she wants him to have to live with it.

Ethan uses this as a means of convincing her that she should marry him because no other man would have her. And as for The Man ... Elliot was not just an accountant for Kosta's drug-smuggling operation, he was a key figure in that operation, coercing Lena and at least two other women to have their stomachs cut open in order to smuggle bags of heroin into Australia; the other two died after the bags exploded. When he learns of this, he's so disgusted that he tries to kill himself. Twice. In the second series, he finds out that he was a member of one of the two Feuding Families, and left Ireland after getting the wife of a member of the other family pregnant.
