Martin Compston, Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Meera Syal discuss comedy-drama series The Revenge Club, that sees an embittered divorce support group go off the rails. By LYNN RUSK

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

THEY say revenge is a dish best served cold, but plot it with a crew and it’s a recipe for mayhem.

When six lonely, hapless strangers are brought together by a divorce support group, each reeling from betrayal and heartbreak, they form an unlikely bond and hatch a plan to get back at the people who broke their hearts.

‘The Revenge Club, adapted from J.D. Pennington’s debut novel The Othello Club, shows how a seemingly cathartic outlet can quickly spiral into something far more chaotic.

As the group's schemes grow bolder, the line between justice and madness begins to blur and someone might just take things too far.

Produced by Gaumont and Fremantle, and written by Gabbie Asher, the series stars Martin Compston as Calum, a devoted father navigating a divorce and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as a PR executive whose husband had an affair with her best friend.

The six-part dark comedy also features My Mad Fat Diary’s Sharon Rooney, Shetland’s Douglas Henshall, The Kumars at No. 42 star Meera Syal and Sex Education actor Chaneil Kular.

Line Of Duty actor Martin says: “It's a bit out of my comfort zone. I've never really done much comedy, because I wouldn't really say I have comedy chops, I can play the straight guy, but that was really the comfort thing, when you see people like Meera and Sharon cast who have got funny bones, it just felt like something that was really exciting.”
