FIRST LEO SUTER
IMAGE FROM LYNLEY TV SERIES
BritBox has started its four part adaptation of
Elizabeth George's Inspector
LYNLEY novels in which our dearest
Leo Suter takes the lead role with
Sofia Barclay as DS Barbara Havers.
Lynley is a brilliant detective who's something of an outsider because of his aristocratic upbringing. Havers comes from a working class background, and she's more of an instinct-driven maverick. Though they have little in common and they don't always get along,
they learn to work together to help get justice for victims of horrific crimes.
Daniel Mays will play DCI Brian Nies, the astute, suspicious Senior Detective at Three Counties Major Incident Team, whose aversion to Lynley is partly born of his own insecurities about class and partly because he knows he’s no longer the smartest person in the room.
Niamh Walsh stars as Helen Clyde, an estate agent and Lynley’s former Oxford classmate whose romance with Lynley is sparked when their paths fatefully cross on a case;
Michael Workeye as tech specialist Tony Bekele; and
Joshua Sher as forensic scientist, Simon St. James. The series will air next year on BritBox in USA and
BBC One in UK.
