    Starts new Sunday at 9pm on BBC.. saw a promo (not on YT yet) and thought it looked great!

    Starring the superb John Simms and Jim Broadbent, and created by the man behind 'Shameless' Paul Abbott.
    Exile is a new drama series for BBC One. Created by Paul Abbott and written by Danny Brocklehurst, this three part drama is a psychological thriller that tells an intimate story of prodigal redemption.

    John Simm plays Tom Ronstadt, a successful London journalist whose world has fallen apart and it's all his own doing. With his career and life in ruins he decides to return to his hometown in Lancashire for the first time in 18 years. He finds his father Sam (Jim Broadbent), who Tom idolised as a child, in the grip of Alzheimer's – a once formidable man now being cared for by his younger sister Nancy (Olivia Coleman).

    Over the three episodes Tom unravels the mystery linked to his childhood that drove him away all those years ago. In trying to extract information and encouraging him to remember the past, Tom becomes increasingly frustrated with his father's failure to remember. He persists unaware that he is unearthing a devastating crime that will reveal secrets he could never have imagined.

    Shaun Dooley, Timothy West and Claire Goose will also star.

    recorded all three eps on sky and watched them in one sitting last night - this was a brilliant drama - just wondering if anyone else watched it (I'll definitely give it another view before I delete it from the box)

    Basq, It's John Simm, not John Simms. Everyone gets his name wrong :mad:

    There, I feel better now, thanks.
