Q What can you tell us about this new five-part drama?

A It’s five self-contained stories with the ongoing mystery of what happened to the missing wife of my character, Detective Inspector David Bradford. Each episode begins with a body. It’s the investigative team’s job to find out who, what, where, when and how.

Q Who makes up David’s elite team of investigators?

A Mistresses’ Sharon Small plays DS Vivienne Cole, Bailey Patrick is DC Rob Brady and Tori Allen-Martin is trainee constable Billie Fitzgerald. While David’s been on compassionate leave, Viv has been running the show. When he comes back, she’s demoted. She’s not great about it!
