A subplot about Grace’s long-lost wife who’s gone missing in Germany is meant to drip-feed tension into his narrative. In this viewer it simply triggered suppressed memories of Downton Abbey when Lady Edith’s chap was condemned to an identical fate because, at a guess, the actor had better things to do with his time. Newcomer Boni Adeliyi is Mimi Taylor, while Poldark actor Luke Norris – aka Dwight Enys –plays Rollo Mercer.

Viewers will recognise Laura Elphinstone for her previous role in Line of Duty – and THAT iconic scene with Kate Fleming.TV viewers will also know Zoe for portraying Anya Raczynski in Survivors, Mina Harker in Demons, Ellen Love in Mr Selfridge, and Betsey Granger in Grantchester.

The actress is also known for her portrayal of Clare in Baptiste, Helen Morris in Little Blue Boy, and Steph Farrow in Home Fires. You worry that the saintly Grace is a bit too stolid for Simm, who in his youth embodied many a zippy livewire. A quirk or two might make endow his decency with more charisma. This is a TV detective so colourlessly married to his job he’s now dating the show’s nice criminal pathologist. Hoare is most recognisable for his parts in The Capture on BBC, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, The Girl Before and Showtrial, among other roles.Boni Adeliyi plays Mimi Taylor and viewers may recognise her from the movie Misbehaviour with Grace marking her biggest role to date.
