New 6 part detective series
Harry Virdee is a detective hunting down a killer targeting the Asian community in Bradford (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford).
Meanwhile, his Sikh family are dismayed at his
decision to marry Saima, who is Muslim.
The writer behind a new BBC crime thriller filmed and set in Bradford has said he wanted to "show off" his home in its UK City of Culture year.
Virdee, adapted from a set of novels written by AA Dhand, will premiere at Bradford's St George's Hall on Thursday, before airing on the BBC on Monday.
The series will introduce DCI Harry Virdee - a police detective whose troubled home life stems from his Sikh family's disapproval of his marriage to a Muslim wife and the activities of his drug kingpin brother-in-law.
The title character's "love for his family and his city will be challenged" as the series progresses, according to Staz Nair, who played Harry Virdee.
"Harry is a man who will protect what he loves and who he loves at any cost," Nair, who previously appeared in Game of Thrones, said.
"This man lives by his own moral compass and his own moral code and will do whatever he has to do get the job done, even if that means surfing the line of the law."
