Shadow Dancer (2012 James Marsh)

We were delighted to realise that this was written by our favourite newsreader Tom Bradby, who delivers a tense thriller about the IRA, right from the off. He was ITV's Northern Ireland correspondent from 1993 to 1996. This was his first 1998 novel; seven more have followed. Andrea Riseborough (as good as ever)  is our unlovable lead (a tricky part), recruited into the British services by Clive Owen. Marsh (and Rob Hardy) use Steadicam a lot to put us in to the action. It's edited by Jinx Godfrey.

With Domnhall Gleeson, Aiden Gillan, Gillian Anderson, Brid Brennan (Calm with Horses, Unforgotten, Brooklyn, Cracker), Martin McCann, Stuart Graham, David Wilmot (The Guard, Calvary, War on Everyone, Calm with Horses).

Music by Dickon Hinchliffe. Remi Adefarasin is the second unit DP.
