     FOREVER HOME SERIES    

GRAHAM NORTON'S BOOK ADAPTATION IMAGES

Channel 5 has, back in January, if you remember, announced a mini TV series adaptation of Graham Norton's book FOREVER HOME and the cast which includes tons of British small screen names such as Amy Nuttall, Douglas Henshall, Denise Welch, Kevin Whately, Samantha Bond, Lewis Cope, Jenny Walser, Shane Zaza and James Baxter, and now we have the first images from the new series which will air sometime later this year.

 

THE SERIES FOLLOWS THE STORY

of a second wife dealing with the memories of the woman who went before her! When her older partner Robert's dementia worsens, Carol Crottie starts to wonder if the reason he won’t leave his home has something to do with the whereabouts of his first wife, who ran off with Robert’s brother 20 years ago, leaving behind their two young children Kaden and Sally. When Carol discovers a long-dead body hidden in the basement of her home, the horrific realisation is undeniable – she's living with a killer. The story that her husband's first wife ran away never to be seen again now looks like a lie, and the fact he’s insisted on never selling the house suddenly makes sense. But one dark family secret is soon to be replaced by another.
