The official synopsis reads: “[The Interceptor] delves into the adventures of a dedicated surveillance team known as the UNIT. Keeping their quarries under ultra-tight surveillance, they take us into the real world inhabited by the criminals of today. And it’s easy to recognise because it’s the same world the rest of us inhabit.”

BBC One’s recent 2015 drama preview trailer features a first look at O-T Fagbenle (Looking) as Ash, whose dream of bringing down the biggest fish in the criminal underworld comes a step closer when he’s recruited to the UNIT.

Jo Joyner (EastEnders) plays Lorna, Ash’s feisty wife and mother to their two children, whilst Robert Lonsdale (From Here To Eternity) plays Tommy, his irreverent and adrenalin loving partner and best mate.

Trevor Eve (Waking the Dead) stars as ruthless criminal Roach, Ash’s ultimate target, whilst Anna Skellern (Lip Service) stars as Kim, Lorraine Ashbourne (Playing The Field) as Valerie and Ewan Stewart (Titanic) as Cartwright, making up the UNIT team. Gary Beadle (EastEnders) and Lee Boardman (Inspector George Gently) will play criminals Docker and Xavier.
