The original AQA AS Media Studies CSP booklet, which the textbook was written to match, referenced the wrong series/episode of The Missing. This error was spotted after publication and therefore the book covers Series 1, Episode 1, however, corrected pages covering Series 2, Episode 2 can be downloaded here for free. The amended section was amended in subsequent reprints.
