Star studded drama

Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater, Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead, Teachers) plays John, a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad. When his long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to a new friend who himself is harbouring horrifying secrets.

I Fought The Law portrays the heart-breaking, real-life story of mother, Ann Ming (Sheridan Smith), and her fight to change the Double Jeopardy Law and see her daughter’s murderer brought to justice.

Vicky McClure returns in a third series of Trigger Point which sees her as  EXPO Lana Washington and her team investigate a bomb threat that soon reveals itself to be the start of a sinister vendetta: someone is targeting individuals and demanding revenge. Working alongside the Police Counterterrorism Unit, the Bomb Disposal Squad race against time to find the bomber before they claim their next victim.

Frauds is a compelling heist drama starring BAFTA and RTS award-winning actresses Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker as skilled confidence tricksters who’ve been separated by an arduous 10-year prison sentence. Starring as the complex duo, Bert (Jones) and Sam (Whittaker), their intertwined past resurfaces in the setting of Southern Spain after a decade of separation.

And The Hack is a 7 part drama about the phone hacking scandal written by BAFTA, Tony and Olivier award winning screenwriter, Jack Thorne, with David Tennant, Robert Carlyle and Toby Jones in leading roles.  Set between 2002 and 2012, the drama deftly interweaves two real life stories, the work of investigative journalist Nick Davies, played by David Tennant, who uncovered evidence of phone hacking, and running parallel, the story of the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.
