Sally's new 6 parter for the BBC features:
Joanna Scanlan, Amelia Bullmore, Tamsin Grieg, Lorraine Ashbourne, Taj Atwal (Line of Duty, Trying), and Chandeep Uppal and leading them on vocals the striking strength of Rosaline Craig (The Queen's Gambit, Moonflower Murders). (I missed her slashed mouth when it had healed up.)
With Jonny Green (the adopted son), Ellise Chappell (his wife), Macy Seelochan, Anne Reid, Ben Batt, Tony Hurst, Sue Johnstone, Peter Davidson, Kevin Doyle, Claire Skinner, Natalia Tena etc. It's a big cast.
Has I think the most upsetting scene I've seen this year.
Not what I was expecting. Powerful, and good. The key confrontation between mother and son has some really powerful big close ups and a beautiful sound design - just (well, not just - who knows how many layers of sound are in this quiet confrontation) but all I noticed was a distant and faint owl.
Quite neatly resolved (though we never did get to the bottom - excuse the pun - of why the producer thought Tamsin would want to rim him - some predictive text mistake. I was thinking) though with gangster Jonathan Pryce popping up at the end with the identities of Kitty's abusers definitely points to a second season.
