Louise Doughty: Last News

There’s plenty of top telly hitting our small screens already this year, But one that’s already made quite the splash is haunting four-part series, Platform 7.The supernatural psychological thriller, which landed on ITV last month, is adapted from the 2019 book of the same name by Louise Doughty, and has left viewers who binge-watched the show traumatised.The premise of the show, says ITV, is: "A suicide on Platform 7 prompts a woman and a Transport Police officer to investigate the details surrounding her death." The nail-biting series stars brilliant Top Boy actress Jasmine Jobson (she played the much-loved Jaq since 2019) as school teacher, Lisa, who witnesses an earth-shattering event on, yes, platform seven of a railway station. Just a few scenes in we realise Lisa is, well, not alive anymore.

Jasmine Jobson, who plays tough street soldier Jaq in Netflix’s Top Boy, has been cast as the lead of ITVX psychological drama series Platform 7.

Manori Ravindran International Editor Britain’s leading lady of the TV action thriller, Keeley Hawes, is back. The star of “Bodyguard” returns in “Crossfire,” another nail-biting thriller for the BBC in which Hawes plays a holidaymaker whose sunbathing session on her hotel balcony becomes a nightmare when shots ring out across the complex, turning her world upside down. The scenario will remind audiences of her turn as the U.K. home secretary alongside Richard Madden’s bodyguard in the eponymous BBC drama, which became a global hit when it was picked up by Netflix. The setting for “Crossfire,” however, is a far cry from London’s Westminster, instead set at a luxury resort in the Canary Islands.
