Hello folks! \u00a0Hope you’re all keeping well, despite the continuing rise in Covid infections. People seem to be falling like flies…. thankfully I haven’t succumbed, I am as fully vaccinated and boosted as I can be, and I continue to mask and avoid crowds. Stay safe m’dears!<\/p>\n

\"\"Good news, the new Series I shot in Liverpool last year is released next week.<\/p>\n

Compulsion<\/strong> premieres on Channel 5<\/strong><\/a> on Tuesday, April 12th at 9 p.m<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sarah Deane<\/strong> (Moving On, Clink<\/em>) wrote the four-part thriller, which is directed by Noreen Kershaw<\/strong> (Call the Midwife, Pitching In, Our Girl<\/em>). The series, which was filmed in Liverpool<\/strong> last year, will be stripped across the week, Tuesday-Friday.<\/p>\n

ABOUT<\/strong><\/span>
\nJenny, a paramedic who develops a gambling addiction while attempting to cope with PTSD after a catastrophic train collision, is played by Leanne Best<\/strong> (Young Wallander, Cold Feet<\/em>). Sasha, a good Samaritan who provides Jenny a way out, is played by Anna Chancellor<\/strong> (Pennyworth, The Watch<\/em>), while loan shark Connie Bertram is played by the legendary Hayley Mills<\/strong>. I play Connie’s sidekick, Jimmy<\/strong>\u00a0– you’ll catch me in episodes 2 and 4. Also in the cast Krissi Bohn<\/strong><\/a> plays Ali,\u00a0Ben Tavassoli<\/strong> plays Raj, \u00a0and Danny Ashok<\/strong> plays Chris.<\/p>\n
