Starring the likes of Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, the miniseries is made up of four hour-long episodes that are filmed in continuous one-hour long takes, following a 13-year-old boy who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Christine Tremarco also plays Jamie’s mum Manda Miller, who is married to Stephen’s character Eddie Miller – while Stephen’s real-life wife Hannah Walters also appears as a teacher. However, Emmerdale fans will likely best recognise Christine as Rose Jackson from the ITV soap.
