McClure attempts to understand that job and convey the staggering difficulties of it to viewers, in part by putting on the uniform the infantrymen would have worn and trying to wade out of the sea. The spectacle is faintly absurd, but the point is well made. “I’ve never known weight like it,” she says, as she sits in a soggy heap on the sand. The historian Stephen Fisher is there to explain that many soldiers failed to make it out of the water at all. Stella agrees to visit the prison alongside a Restorative Justice mediator and come face to face with her daughter's killer. But nothing could prepare her for what Charles has to say next." When we meet Stella Tomlinson, it's been three years since the murder of her teenage daughter Maisy, but the wound is as fresh as if it were yesterday.

I wasted a year doing nothing at 18. I got with a guy and just wanted to hang out. It didn’t do me any favours. Without Sin (ITVX) is a heavyweight thriller cut from the same cloth as Happy Valley and Save Me, so fans of deep-rooted trauma and grief rejoice, if that’s the sort of thing you do. Either way, this Nottingham-based four-parter is a very strong entry to the genre, taut and solid and compelling, and it does not outstay its welcome. Since then one flagship show has launched on the channel each week. So far these have included David Tennant's Litvinenko, which launched on Thursday, December 15, and the family drama Riches, which landed on Thursday, December 22. Lorraine added that she also had a similar childhood experience growing up. She said: “It was great, it was exciting, this is the thing about all the adventures that these characters have.”The two of them head off to Normandy on the ferry, and as Ralph stands on the beach, that stiff upper lip does crumble, ever so slightly. It was, he admits, “like hell let loose”. German snipers were shooting at him. The boat next to his own was shelled. McClure asks him if he is proud of what he did. “Well, I think I ought to be, now,” he says. Stella wrestles with whether to trust Charles and follow up Cleo’s disappearance. At the same time, she tries to unearth who Charles really is, approaching those who knew him best. Paul Irons, the deputy head at my school, Fernwood comprehensive. He was an inspiration, and still is. Without Sin airs on ITV1 at 9pm, Monday 15th to Thursday 18th May, while the full series is available to stream now on ITVX.

Soon, its dialogue and character catchphrases – well, superintendent Ted Hastings’ catchphrases (“Mother of God!”, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey!”) – became memes and merchandise. The anti-corruption unit was even referenced in the Houses of Commons (Keir Starmer said that “Ted Hastings and AC-12 are needed to get to the bottom of this one” over the David Cameron Greensill lobbying scandal).

in SCB Offer September 2023, 613 in UK Primary September 2023 and 343 in UK Primary Autumn 2023 Format McClure is the founder of Our Dementia Choir, which explores the impact of music therapy on those living with dementia. The choir featured in a BBC documentary in 2019 and it has since returned for a 2022 BBC series, “Our Dementia Choir Sings Again”, which sees McClure look at issues surrounding the care system.There isn’t much in the way of plot. This is, above all, a mood piece. As with life, there is no dramatic or Damascene moment for Nicola – just a cumulative pressure, a coded message from a friend, a gradual admission that the scales of happiness are unignorably tipped. There is no neat resolution, but when Nicola finally leaves to spend a night at her mum’s (she had intended to leave for good, but Adam hints at suicide, so it is whittled down to a week and then a bare 24 hours), we see her walk across the family garden and smile. From the grin alone we may infer liberation. Filmed in Nottingham, the series has a star-studded cast list. You can find out more about the cast, filming locations, and how many episodes there are here.
