[alyse]

Andrew-Lee Potts' Rose and Maloney episode is airing on Wednesday 4th February on ITV3, between 10 and 11pm.

A small sample:





I love this show, and this episode in particular, and since this doesn't ever seem to have been released on DVD, now's your chance :)

this morning i nearly ran down a guy who looked *exactly* like ALP, complete with moustachelet and fedora. the only reason i nearly ran him down (i was on the bike) was because i was doing such an extreme double-take.

it was most surreal :)

I'll bet!

squeeee! I love him in that show. Such a good performance of yet another morally ambiguous character.

Oh, shit, I'll be out that evening. Why the hell is it always on a sodding Wednesday? If it doesn't start until 10.00 I *might* be able to get home in time to tape it. But since I now have digital, it seems a shame to not watch anything on it!

When are they showing the second ep, since I'm guessing that's the time for the firt of the two-parter?

I'm assuming the following week. I keep searching my digiguide, and this is the first time that it's shown up and I've just updated the listings, so I suspect that the listings for the following week aren't available yet.

I'm also searching every night for Primeval, just in case ::g::

For the non British of us, what is this show?

It's kind of a detective show, but with a twist. Rose and Maloney work for the Criminal Justice Review Agency, who work on appeals for people who may have been wrongly convicted. I did a pimping post about it here. That gives a background to the show and the characters.

Andrew is one of the guest stars, playing 18 year old Daniel Berrington who was convicted at age 10 for the brutal murder of an old age pensioner and now is eligible for release, as long as he demonstrates that he's repentent about it. But Daniel tells Rose that can't do that, because he doesn't actually remember committing the crime and is now starting to think that he didn't do it, and was just pressured into confessing.

He's very, very good in it, playing the role very ambiguously and a little creepily in some scenes, so that you're never entirely sure whether Daniel is innocent or whether he's trying to manipulate Rose. It's worth watching - although it was a series, each story (taking place over one or two episodes) is standalone, so you can watch them in isolation.

I guess it's time to go find downloads. I swear I watch so much UK TV lately that I should simply move there. *g*

Thank you so much for the information.
