Fast sell:

A home-grown critically acclaimed British crime drama that set TV on fire with all star performances from Fay Ripley, Damien Molony and Clare-Hope Ashtley. Shot in the style of a fly on-the-wall documentary this affecting and absorbing hit series rejects traditional conventions and ask the cast and crew to improvise dialogue, character and actions based on a detailed plot.

Suspects takes the genre to the next level with smart and effective storylines that will have audiences gripped from start to finish.

Key talent:

Fay Ripley - Cold Feet, Reggie Perrin, Monday Monday.
Damien Molony – Ripper Street, Being Human.
Clare-Hope Ashitey – Children of Men, Top Boy.

Synopsis:

As seen on Channel 5.

Set in London, Suspects focuses on a team of three detectives and their distinctive approaches to the job of policing. Each episode tells a self-contained crime story starting with a news report about the crime. We then follow the team of detectives as they investigate the circumstances of the crime, forensicate the crime scene, collate and analyse the evidence, and interview their suspects until they finally identify and charge the perpetrator.

We like it because:

Suspects is everything we want from a crime series – bold, original and uncompromising - and one that brings a gritty reality that pulls us into the investigation. Add in some stellar improv, cast and acting makes this undoubtedly a unique and bold statement in television making.
