New drama starts 18th June for 6 episodes on itv

Rose Ayling-Ellis leads the cast of ITV's "groundbreaking" new crime drama Code of Silence, playing a police canteen worker and skilled lip reader, whose skills are called upon for a perilous undercover operation.

Created by Hijack’s Catherine Moulton, the six-part series stars Strictly Come Dancing (https://www.digitalspy.com/strictly-come-dancing/) winner Rose Ayling-Ellis (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a62071943/rose-ayling-ellis-family-connection-eastenders/)
in the lead role of Alison Woods, a deaf woman who has spent years working in a police canteen and secretly observing conversations.

The Strictly Come Dancing (https://www.yours.co.uk/leisure/celebrity-tv/bbc-news-strictly-come-dancing/) winner plays Alison, who finds herself embroiled in a high-stakes undercover operation. As the tension builds, her character faces dangerous challenges while trying to navigate a world of secrecy and deception.

Alison's life takes an unexpected turn when her lip-reading skills catch the attention of DS Ashleigh Francis (Ritchie) and DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan), who recruit her for a covert operation in which she must surveil a dangerous gang who are plotting a high-stakes heist.

She’s struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, in a police canteen and a local bar, while also doing her best to support her Deaf mum, Julie.

When DC Ashleigh Francis calls on Alison to lip-read the conversations of some dangerous criminals, she is plunged into a new and exhilarating world." the ITV synopsis teases.

Alison’s interpretation of the gang's clandestine meetings quickly become key to unlocking the police investigation.

But Alison's feelings about the case become complicated when she finds herself drawn to Liam, one of the main suspects.

Alison knows she's putting herself at risk by agreeing to work with the police, and when things threaten to spill over into her personal life, she knows she should step away. But Alison can’t let go…"

But what did he put on it?

I don't think he's undercover

I don't think he's undercover either. But maybe related to the person who was killed in the last heist and out for revenge.

But they can’t have their happy ever ever then

I think he will turn on the others and will escape charges. Otherwise they won’t get a series 2

@onceuponatimeinneverland you can link hearing aids up to loads of stuff now- my friend has her phone through them, kids play music and gaming as well.

I don’t fully know about hacking but I can see it being a possibility knowing what aids can do these days!

There's also the possibility that there's a mole in the police and Liam has been put there to scrutinise the leak.

I don't think there's going to be a happily ever after!

the police should never have asked her, she worked in the canteen,
i like how she is so silly and wants to know but they should have said No, that is enough, instead of encouraging her with the information.

E5 tonight

Does John Bishop know sign language or did he learn it for the role? I hope it wasn’t just that little bit we see him in. I’d like to see him again as Rose’s Dad

John Bishop learnt sign language in a previous TV show. John and Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf. Because his son is partially deaf

As part of the programme he did a comedy show in sign language

I didn’t realise that about his son and very good of him to do a comedy show in sign language. Thank you for letting me know 🙂

Ha that’s who he is. I recognised him but couldn’t place him

not sure how this is going to pan out

It's getting a bit confusing now

I've no idea what is going on

Just realised that Charlie who died was a foster carer.

So revenge

What is she doing 😮

Getting in the way is what she is doing. She's got some sort of white knight complex.

Oh that was good. Yes def seems revenge

shame not undercover. That would have been better

so he knew she knew and tricked about the vault knowing she would tell police

beardy ben Has got to be ok

not sure where can go from here

so are they looking for Liam

or not as he’s not on cctv and they can’t prove he was there unless Alison says he was

Will there be a second series?

Well I say that twisted a bit.

Alison really is a bit of a silly billy though. Highly ridiculous that she turned up at the hotel. What did she really think she could do? Rather preposterous that she thought she could stop Liam.

Wonder how tomorrow will end.

Not the last one. Tom is e6

Recap e5
