Yah it’s back.

Unforgotten

This will be tv paced , as mine always are

as it will be on ITVX as a box set so sure there will be binge threads

No spoilers please 😘

Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar return for another instalment of the hit ITV crime drama.

The sixth season is set to premiere on ITV1 (and STV in Scotland) on Sunday 9th February at 9pm, with all episodes of the season available to stream on ITVX as a boxset on the same day.

The second episode will then air on Monday 10th February at 9pm, also on ITV1 and STV.

And then back the following sun /mon eve

The new run takes on a brand new case, with Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar (www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/unforgotten-cast-itv/) reprising their leading roles as DCI Jessica James and DI Sunny Khan, respectively.

While their initial season working together didn't get off to the smoothest of starts, we're sure things will be a little more plain-sailing for Jessie and Sunny as they embark on yet another grisly investigation.

Like previous seasons of the hit ITV drama, we'll once again be thrown into another complicated case that offers up multiple individuals that seemingly don't have a connection but are somehow caught up in the case at hand.

According to the synopsis: "The series begins when suspected human remains are uncovered on Whitney Marsh – Jess and Sunny are immediately called to the scene, abandoning their evening plans to Jess’s husband’s chagrin.

Dr Balcombe’s analysis reveals that the remains are relatively recent and suggest a grim conclusion: the body was placed there already dismembered.

"With this insight, Jess and Sunny intensify their search certain that other body parts may not be far away."

The guest cast for the series includes MyAnna Buring (The Witcher), Elham Elas (Shantaram), Victoria Hamilton (COBRA) and newcomer Max Fairley, as well as Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Damien Molony (Brassic (www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/brassic-sky-cast/)).

Andrew Lancel (Bolan’s Shoes) is also reprising his role as Jess’s husband Steve, while Kate Robbins (The Couple Next Door (www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/the-couple-next-door-season-2-cast-confirmed-newsupdate/)) returns as Jessie's mother Kate.

Teasing what's to come with their characters, the season 6 synopsis reveals: "As the investigation unfolds, viewers are introduced to a diverse new cast of characters: Melinda Ricci (MyAnna Buring), an outspoken television commentator based in Ireland; Martin 'Marty' Baines (Max Fairley), an autistic man living with his mother Dot in Deal, Kent; Asif Syed (Elham Elas), an Afghan training for his UK citizenship test; and Juliet Cooper (Victoria Hamilton), a history lecturer and faculty head at a London university.

"While these characters live seemingly separate lives, they are intricately connected by their pasts.

It’s up to Jess, Sunny, and their dedicated team to uncover these hidden links and ultimately expose the truth behind the cold case murder."

Adrenaline would have taken over for Juliet , she was in "fight or flight mode " dealing with a crisis . Her motivating factor would have been to protect her young daughter above all else.

It still would have been difficult to heave the body . If she did this in one go , it would still weigh the same . We heard and saw that Gerry wasn't a skinny person .

I was just wondering as here where the deceased doesn't get to film any scenes at all , whose photo do they use ? Is that another actor , is it now AI generated or a crew member who agrees for their photo to be used ?

I really enjoyed this series. Sunny is definitely the best character, I find Jess a bit bland.

I thought the character Juliet gave a really good performance. Great acting.

I love Sunny too. Also find Jess bland. Her voice (and delivery of her lines) is monotone and expressionless. The previous actress who played the role - Nicola Walker - was similar, but it was the character, and she was good, and I enjoyed watching her. It's like the new actress (Sinéad Keenan) has tried to emulate her. But failed.

That sounds like a question for Richard Osman & Marina Hyde on The Rest is Entertainment podcast (which I highly recommend to anyone who’s not aware of it).

BestIsWest · 25/02/2025 11:24

I completely misread ‘Adrenaline would have taken over for Juliet’ and spent a minute or two wondering who Adrenaline was.
Disappointed by this series although I enjoyed the last episode.

butterpuffed · 25/02/2025 13:00

In real life , would Juliet not be prosecuted for cutting a body to bits , dumping it to try and hide it 🙄 She was made for the expression 'getting away with murder' even if she wasn't personally responsible !!

There were soo many red herrings but I did thoroughly enjoy it , was glued !

Stuckinarut100 · 25/02/2025 13:26

I liked the character of Juliet all the way through!

Me too. She always came across like she was doing her best and willing to fight for her principles. She was rude to people but you could tell it was coming from stress and not meanness.

You can see the headline ‘wife kills husband, cuts him up and walks away’.

It's political correctness gone mad! 😄

SydneyCarton · 25/02/2025 18:17

I just remembered that Taylor said she saw her father standing over her mum and stamping on her ribs with his boot. Assuming this must have caused her some pretty significant and painful injuries, it seems even more unlikely that she’d be able to cut up a large male body and dump the pieces into a marsh 48 hours later 🤨

If it gave her great pleasure and closure

Taylor gave her mother a very cold glance at the end of the final scene, in the car.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/02/2025 14:41

Yes. Guilt as well. Had to for her a teen to know she killed her dad

even tho was defending her mum

Any ideas for what to watch next ? I see the Bay is coming out next week .

But must admit not a big fan of it . The first series was ok but I gave up watching series 2/3 ? because I thought the script writing wasn't great . I just remember someone getting run over by a car and then seemingly bouncing up - which pushed my credibility limits . But perhaps recollections may vary !

Piggywaspushed · 27/02/2025 17:19

Agree, but will watch anyway!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2025 14:02

The bay can be unbelievable at times but can’t all dramas 😂

This story doesnt hold a candle to the Nicola Walker ones.

BlueMonkeyChewing · 28/02/2025 22:35

Maybe not as perfect as when Nicola Walker was in it but still one of the very best programs I've seen in a long time.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2025 23:53

As I said on last thread really hard to take over a role with someone who is well loved and a great actress

no she is NW but I think she is doing well with sonny and the gang considering what big boots she has to fill

OP posts:
butterpuffed · 01/03/2025 08:37

I thought it would be hard to replace Nicola Walker but I've now got used to Jess , which has been made easy as she's been a familiar face on tv for a while .

JenniferBooth · 01/03/2025 20:57

They have got the go ahead for Series 7

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/04/2025 07:42

i enjoyed this series
i never watched it so avidly with Nicola Walker but i thought this was good

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/04/2025 07:57

i gather from a thread that juliet had to tell her daughter what actually happened
but in the car the daughter did not look very upset

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/04/2025 09:37

Yes she had to tell her / I thought that was obvious from the deal they made
