Fans of The Missing are demanding a Bafta for Julien Baptiste after a thrilling series 2 finale

Oi! Bafta! You’d best make sure your hosts know how to pronounce Tcheky Karyo’s name properly because if fans of The Missing have their way he’ll be winning big at the ceremony next year.

Viewers of Jack and Harry Williams’ thrilling BBC drama are demanding a Bafta for the actor after the second series came to a thrilling end last night.

The follow-up to their 2014 hit saw Karyo’s Baptiste back in action in Germany and Iraq, as he attempted to solve the abductions of missing girls Alice Webster and Sophie Giroux, all while battling a brain tumour.

And Julien managed to crack the case against all odds, leaving viewers eager to see him suitably rewarded by the TV gods.

#TheMissing If this doesn't get a BAFTA in various categories I will walk to Media city carrying a "Justice for Baptiste" banner???

I'll loan Julien Baptiste my brain for the 3rd series if he needs it. #TheMissing

I really hope there's a 3rd series #TheMissing. #JulienBaptiste is too much of a hero for them not to make a 3rd!

Because there’s no one quite like Julien.

Anyone know the name of the hospital Julien Baptiste is in and his visiting hours?
