FROM DARKNESS begins this Sunday

FROM DARKNESS, a major new four-part crime drama begins this Sunday at 9pm on BBC 1, written by Katie Baxendale and directed by Dominic Leclerc.

Former police officer Claire Church (Anne-Marie Duff) decided to turn her back on a world of misogyny and chauvinism, where it seemed you had to think and act like a man to succeed. Finding herself ignored in the office and second place in her relationship with her married DI, Claire instead found solace in the remote Western Isles with her new man, Norrie, and daughter Megan.

As four bodies from Claire's past investigations are unearthed, she finds herself getting pulled back into a world she'd long since left behind and a case that only she can solve. Battling her own demons, Claire feels the dual pull of a vocation that sustained her and a man she once loved, but can she protect herself from the darkness this time?

The programme also features Jim Cartwright and Charlotte Emmerson.
