Watch Anna Wilson-Jones in the latest season of hit crime drama ‘Showtrial’
When the high-profile climate activist Marcus Calderwood is left for dead in a violent hit and run, he uses his dying moments to apparently identify his killer – a serving policeman.
But who is this unnamed ‘Officer X’? What does his own history reveal about the nature of trauma and revenge, and was Marcus’ death actually a careless accident or cold-blooded murder?
From Calderwood’s last breath to the jury’s final verdict, ‘Showtrial’ takes us into the worlds of the charismatic and cocky officer PC Justin Mitchell; Sam Malik, an anxious defence solicitor with a reputation for winning lost causes; and Leila Hassoun-Kenny, a wry and rigorous CPS lawyer leading the case against the accused.
As public outrage reaches fever-pitch, ‘Showtrial’ questions if a fair trial is possible when tensions are riding so high, and if the truth is ever clear cut…
Don’t miss L&C’s wonderful Anna Wilson-Jones as Tamara Baudin-Kenny in ‘Showtrial’ on BBC1 and iPlayer from Sunday 6th October at 9pm
