Actor Freddie Fox (Worried About The Boy, Any Human Heart) plays young rent boy Ratallack in Hugo Blick’s seven-part conspiracy thriller The Shadow Line.
BBC Two’s increasingly fascinating police drama reaches and passes its halfway stage in this episode, yet neither DI Jonah Gabriel (Chiwetel Ejiofor) nor Joseph Bede (Christopher Eccleston) appear much closer to accomplishing their respective goals than they were in the hours after the death of gangster Harvey Wratten.
Award-winning stage and screen actor Sir Antony Sher plays money man Glickman in Hugo Blick’s seven-part conspiracy thriller The Shadow Line.
In the fourth part of BBC Two’s thriller series, DI Jonah Gabriel finally establishes why murdered gangster Harvey Wratten received a Royal Pardon – but does the information help or hinder his investigation?
Like the drugs at the heart of the late Harvey Wratton’s empire, The Shadow Line has become addictive in a slow, almost sneaky manner. After an unhurried, take-it-or-leave it start, it has insidiously built up to the point where now, three episodes in, it has become impossible to break free of its grip.
In the third part of the BBC Two conspiracy thriller, the hunt for the murderer of Harvey Wratton continues – and although the police officially believe a breakthrough has been made, DI Jonah Gabriel isn’t so sure.
The principal problem with The Shadow Line is its identity crisis. At times, it’s a fascinating noir-ish thriller; at others, it feels like an unwieldy Shakespearian melodrama that has somehow lost its way en route to the RSC and found itself on the telly instead.
In the second part of BBC Two’s conspiracy thriller The Shadow Line, DI Jonah Gabriel is pursuing missing driver Andy Dixon, the only witness to the murder of drug trafficker Harvey Wratton.
The BBC have released a new trailer for their Original British Drama this Summer, featuring previously unseen clips from Torchwood, Doctor Who, Page Eight, Luther, Case Histories, Luther, The Shadow Line, The Hour and The Night Watch.
