THE NIGHT CALLER

This one somehow escaped my radar, but new four part thriller mini series THE NIGHT CALLER will start on Channel 5 on Sunday July 7th and will air each evening till Wednesday. If I got it right it is already available over on Acorn TV channel on Prime Video.
THE NIGHT CALLER FOLLOWS
Tony
(Robert Glenister), a 50-something, lonely Liverpudlian taxi driver who
used to be a respected teacher but lost his job, his marriage and his
confidence. His only lifelines are Rosa (Suzanne Packer), a café worker,
and a late-night talk show he listens to as he drives his customers
around. The 
show is fronted by DJ Lawrence (Sean Pertwee) and one day
Tony finds the courage to call in. He becomes a ‘friend of the show’
which gives him a sense of 
identity for the first time in years. But
eventually he starts to interpret Lawrence’s views in dangerous ways and
becomes obsessed with their relationship. Then, Tony realises Lawrence
isn’t the man he pretends to be.
