“How do you think a person lives a life, having murdered someone, without it….showing? A whole life of relationships behind them, without anyone ever suspecting they did something….beyond awful. How does that happen?”
Nicola Walker (Last Tango in Halifax, Babylon, Scott & Bailey) and Sanjeev Bhaskar (The Kumars, The Indian Doctor, Goodness Gracious Me) join forces to star in Unforgotten, a brand new, six-part crime drama on ITV1 from Mainstreet Pictures.
Written and created by Chris Lang (Undeniable, A Mother’s Son, Torn), Unforgotten focuses on a ‘cold’ murder case of 39 years ago, when the bones of a young man are found beneath the footings of a demolished house. An investigation begins that will unravel the lives of four people who have been waiting for this moment for nearly forty years, as they discover that the past can’t, and won’t, stay buried for ever.
Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar take the lead roles as DCI Cassie Stuart and DS Sunil ‘Sunny’ Khan, the modern day police team who gradually unravel deep-rooted and long-forgotten secrets, which will have a dramatic impact on their investigation and the lives of four potential suspects – Father Robert Greaves (Bernard Hill), Sir ‘Frank’ Philip Cross (Trevor Eve), Lizzie Wilton (Ruth Sheen), and Eric Slater (Tom Courtenay). The slow revelation of these secrets as Cassie and Sunny hunt for the killer will alter the dynamic of the families and their loved ones forever.
The first episode launched to gushing reviews and an overnight audience of 4.7million (via Broadcast). To catch up on the first episode on ITV Player, click here.
The series continues Thursday at 9pm on ITV1.
