Marcella

The first season of this Scandistyl­e London-set drama from Hans Rosenfeldt (The Bridge), was a combinatio­n of bonkers and brilliant as Anna Friel rejoined the Met after her philanderi­ng husband walked out and solved a complex murder case despite suffering from dissociati­ve fugue, which resulted in occasional blackouts during which she had no recollecti­on of what she might have done. Season two begins with the discovery of a body, inside a wall, of schoolboy Leo Priestley, who was abducted a few years beforehand. Once again the case takes a personal turn when Marcella discovers that Leo was a friend of her son, Edward.

Returning cast members include Nicholas Pinnock as ex Jason, Jamie Bamber as newly promoted DCI Tim Williamson and Jack Doolan as DC Mark Travis. Nigel Planer and Keith Allen turn up as possible suspects playing former famous musician Reg and his manager Alan.
