‘A Song For Jenny’ trailer: Emily Watson in 7/7 bombings drama

Posted Filed under

BBC One has unveiled a trailer for A Song For Jenny, a one-off drama based on the true story of a mother’s response to her daughter’s murder in the 2005 bombing at Edgware Road tube station.

Adapted from Julie Nicholson’s book, Frank McGuinness’s script is a moving and precise exploration of a mother’s responses from the moment she hears about the attacks to the news that her daughter is missing, to the confirmation that Jenny is among the dead. Julie and her family experience hope, denial, acceptance of grim reality, the anguish of grief and a final desire not to be broken and to honour Jenny.

Starring Emily Watson as Julie alongside Gwilym Lee and Steven Mackintosh, A Song For Jenny airs at 9pm on Sunday 5 July on BBC One.

July 2015 marks the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings in London, which killed 52 people and injured more than 700. It was the greatest loss of life in a British terrorist attack since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.
