We are going British today, starting with the first images from THE LONG SHADOW true crime drama which is coming to ITV and ITVX next month!

With the victims, their families and the survivors at the heart of this series, we get a new perspective to a well-documented story. Meticulously researched and drawing upon the most extensive archive of the investigation, comprising of hundreds of case files, interview transcripts and police reports, the series stars Toby Jones as DCS Dennis Hoban, who initially led the enquiry, with David Morrissey taking the role of DCS George Oldfield, who famously took on the investigation. Lee Ingleby is DCS Jim Hobson, whilst Katherine Kelly plays Emily Jackson with Daniel Mays as her husband, Sydney Jackson. Jill Halfpenny plays Doreen Hill, with Shaun Dooley as DCS Chris Gregg. 

 

  FIRST BBC TEASER FOR  

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES SERIES

Starting as soon as August 29th on BBC One and also on iPlayer, is new thriller series THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES. This is the story of two very different women (Alice Newman and Cheryl Harker) and the conman Dr Rob Chance they have in common; a dark, funny, and unpredictable thriller about three remarkable characters trapped in a tangled triangle of complexly layered half-truths and lies of epic proportions. Cheryl is a bestselling fantasy fiction author who, recently bereaved, now lives alone with her poodle, Goblin. Alice is a formidable but long-underestimated PA who lives in a bungalow with her young son, magician partner. Rob (Alistair Petrie) is an eccentric and celebrated ecopreneur (allegedly). Three apparent strangers with nothing in common... except Rob’s dupes, deceptions and delusions. This is a story about lies and artifice, about our weakness for self-deception, and about the rapid ascent of the modern fraudster. It is the story of an unexpected friendship between two very different women and the power they’ll discover when theyraise their voices in joyous rage. As they finally find the courage and self-belief to take charge, the con is on to try and take a sociopathic predator down. Derek Jacobi also stars!
