Tensions remain high as Lisa struggles to do her job whilst following the orders of her previously lower ranking colleague, Med. As the team try to uncover why the victim was targeted, Lisa and her kids are unknowingly stalked by a mysterious figure who has returned with an agenda.

The new information opens up the investigation and the team uncover vital evidence, forcing them to deal with a difficult suspect. Meanwhile, Lisa questions Andy’s motives as he remains determined to rebuild a relationship with his family, whilst Penny discovers Lisa and the kids are keeping her in the dark. Episode 3 As the team press on with the investigation, Lisa and Med dig deeper into the family and discover not all relationships with the victim were amicable. With one suspect beginning to talk, a crucial piece of evidence comes through, leaving Lisa with more questions than answers. Lisa is forced to give time to her home life as Andy continues to grow closer to Abbie and Rob while Penny decides to take matters into her own hands. Episode 4 Following an unexpected turn in the case, Lisa and the team struggle to keep their heads in the game as they’re forced to accept help from a new unit. As one suspect throws new light on the investigation, Lisa doubts whether she’s been given the full truth on events from the past. With the investigative pressure building, Manning attempts to fight for his marriage whilst Lisa finds solace in a place she least expected. Episode 5 A rash decision unsettles Lisa, so throwing herself into her work, she pursues a new line of investigation, uncovering a secret with far-reaching consequences. As the evidence against one suspect continues to build, a desperate Manning makes a choice that risks the integrity of the case. Meanwhile, Penny’s words make Abbie question where her loyalties lie and Rob realises his newfound romance comes at a cost. 5 Episode 6 As a confession brings the team closer to the truth, Lisa identifies a suspect but conflicting accounts leave her questioning who to believe. With the complexities of the case proving difficult to crack, the stakes are raised as the race to bring those responsible to justice takes an unexpected turn.

  • Winter Highlights 2004
    DRAMA WINTER HIGHLIGHTS 2004 ENGLAND EXPECTS Steven Mackintosh stars in a hard-hitting drama about a man who is drawn back to his far right past as his life spirals out of control. Mackintosh plays Ray, a responsible family man, fiercely protective of his daughter, Nikki. But he is also a control freak and, when things start to go wrong – first at work and then at home – he begins to lose his grip on reality. As his behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and he looks for someone other than himself to blame, he turns towards people from his past – people who are prepared to exploit him for their own ends. England Expects is produced by award-winning programme-maker Ruth Caleb. Her BBC ONE credits include Dominic Savage's Out Of Control, which won the Michael Powell Award for Best British Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Antonia Bird's Care, which won the Prix Italia for Best Drama. IN DENIAL OF MURDER Stephen Tompkinson plays campaigning local journalist Don Hale in a factually based drama which explores the controversial case of Stephen Downing and the murder in 1973 of Wendy Sewell (played by Caroline Catz) in Bakewell cemetery in the Peak District. Don Hale’s determination to prove Downing’s innocence captured the imagination of the press and public alike. Based on extensive research and written by Neil McKay, In Denial Of Murder tells the moving and tragic story behind the headlines, combining the story of Hale’s campaign with an account of the life of the murder victim.

  • A Doll's House
    The National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Lyceum Theatre present SCOTTISH PREMIERE A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen, in a version by Zinnie Harris Directed by Graham McLaren Set Design by Robert Innes Hopkins, Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Nick Sagar Cast includes: Robert Cavanah, Brian McCardie, Lucianne McEvoy, Kevin McMonagle, Amy Manson, Sharon Young At the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh from 16 April to 4 May 2013 Press Performance: Wednesday 17 April at 7.45pm Following the success of the critically acclaimed production The Guid Sisters in 2012, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to be working in partnership again with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh to bring this new version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to the Scottish stage for the first time. A stellar cast of Scottish performers has been assembled, with the lead role of Nora being played by Amy Manson. This will mark Amy’s return to the Lyceum, where she won Best Performance (Female) in 2008 for her role in Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. Since then she has gone on to enjoy success in British film and television. A Doll’s House caused outrage both in its style and content when first staged in 1879. Zinnie Harris has transposed her version from late 19th-century Norway to Edwardian London and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics. Her version has strong contemporary resonances, revealing a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule, and brings modern sensibilities to bear on Nora’s marriage, at the heart of the play.

  • Gary Lineker to Lead a Post-Show Panel for the Red Lion 20-11-17
    Gary Lineker to lead a post-show panel for Patrick Marber’s The Red Lion Trafalgar Studios, 14 Whitehall, London SW1A 2DY Wednesday 1st November – Saturday 2nd December 2017 Press Night: Monday 6th November 2017, 7pm Post-show panel: Monday 20th November Retired English footballer and sports broadcaster Gary Lineker OBE will lead an exciting post-show panel on Monday 20th November, discussing the football themes of Patrick Marber’s The Red Lion. Set in the dressing room of a semi-professional football club in the North East, this powerful, funny and touching locker room drama reaches beyond the beautiful game, exploring contrasting ideas about loyalty, ambition and what it takes to win, from the perspectives of three different generations. Lineker comments, I look forward to seeing this new version of The Red Lion at Trafalgar Studios. It’s a premier league play about non-league football and you can join the cast and me for a post-show discussion on the play and the importance of these leagues in the wider game. The Red Lion is hoping to attract new young theatre fans by working with some of London’s major football clubs and inviting players from their Academy and Youth Education programmes to come and see the play. Amy O’Brien, Head of Development at Fulham Football Club Foundation, comments, We’re delighted that our Football & Education participants can take advantage of this opportunity. In addition to football [1] training, the character and social development of our student-athletes is an integral part of our programme, and team building activities such as this add tremendous value.
