The One That Got Away
When a local nurse is found dead in a Welsh seaside town, detective duo DI Ffion Lloyd (Elen Rhys) and DS Rick Sheldon (Richard Harrington) are thrown together to investigate.
The catch?
This murder looks eerily similar to a series of killings from over a decade ago.
And just to make things even messier, Ffion and Rick have history, which adds even more tension to the case. Expect plenty of edge-of-your seat moments!
The BBC synopsis reads: "Written by Catherine Tregenna (Law & Order UK, Lewis, DCI Banks), and directed by Sion Ifan (Y Goleudy), this psychologically driven thriller delves into the complex relationship between Rick and Ffion as they confront not only a killer but also the unresolved issues of their past.
The murder stirs up old wounds in the small community, casting doubt on a historic conviction and raising the chilling possibility of a copycat killer.
The series offers a forensic examination of a town, a killer, and a love affair – both past and present.'
The audience will be gripped not only by the high-stakes crime story but also by the complex love story at the heart of the show.
Can detectives Ffion Lloyd and Rick Sheldon stop the killer before they strike again?”
The series, filmed and set in Pembroke Dock, boasts a stellar cast including lead actors Elen Rhys, known for her role as detective Miranda Blake in BBC's The Mallorca Files and Richard Harrington, who won a BAFTA Cymru Award for his role as DCI Tom Matthias in Hinterland and has also made appearances in The Crown and Poldark.
They will be joined by:
• Rhian Blythe (Keeping Faith, Hidden).
• Sule Rimi (Day of the Jackal).
• Ian Puleston-Davies (Coronation Street).
• Ioan Hefin (Gangs of London, Apostle).
• Aled Pugh (The Light in the Hall, Hunky Dory).
