Suspect: Danny (S1EP8 Channel 4 Wed 22 June 2022)
Danny: The gripping psychological crime thriller with an all-star cast comes to a dramatic conclusion. Danny (James Nesbitt) turns up on Jackie’s (Joely Richardson) doorstep to question why the evidence of foul play he has uncovered wasn’t mentioned in her post-mortem report.
After tricking his way into her home, he discovers a link between Jackie and one of the people he has interviewed, and he speculates openly that Jackie is covering for this ‘person of interest’. But Jackie turns the tables on him with information that appears to disprove his theory, and when Richard (Ben Miller) turns up at Jackie’s request, he supports her story.
They appear to have talked Danny into accepting the post-mortem’s findings, until a final clue allows him to prove that a suspect was present at the scene of Christina’s (Imogen King) death and to piece together a compelling theory about her murder, prompting him to seek bloody reparations on his daughter’s behalf.
