Series two also sees the return of Paterson Joseph who plays Robert’s former colleague and will bring viewers “a brand new four-part story”.

“From the gripping story and compelling performances, we were delighted with every aspect of the production. With Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone writing the scripts and Jill and Paula producing we know the new series will be in safe hands,” he added.
