Angel Coulby will be very familiar to anyone who followed Merlin and probably not a lot to anyone who didn't. She hardly appeared in the third and final series of The Tunnel, which was on Sky Atlantic. She was in Stephen Poliakoff's BBC2 series Dancing on the Edge, in which she played a jazz singer (to the surprise apparently of even her agent, who didn't know she could sing) - also BBC1's Undercover which I didn't think much of.

Cheers, GM. I'd hoped I was right! I'm relatively new to The Tunnel, coming to the end of The Tunnel season 2 since Christmas (box-set gift!) But I was sure she had been Guinevere and was the detective in Innocent.

Merlin! That was where I knew her from.

I'm currently watching this, which completely passed me by first time around. I've no idea why I didn't watch it but am enjoying it. Hermione Norris looks as if she's had some Botox! She's so annoying, insisting that they are her children, that I want it to be her wot donnit!

I'm re-watching and have forgotten who did the murder until tonight it came to me. I think. I could be wrong. Well worth a repeat this.

I've now finished watching. Very moving final scenes, though I'm not sure I would be so understanding in David's place. It did have elements of Unforgotten in that one moment of madness had such repercussions for so many people as skeletons came tumbling out of cupboards. Good stuff and I will certainly look out for a second series, featuring a new set of characters, if there is one.

More than two years after the series wrapped its initial run, ITV have renewed Innocent.
Four episodes have been ordered for the show’s second series. Katherine Kelly (Mr Selfridge, The Night Manager) is attached to star.
The show’s second series focuses upon the scandal that rocked the small Cumbrian town of Keswick in 2015 involving school teacher, Sally Wright (Kelly), who was alleged to be having an affair with her 16-year-old pupil, Matty Taylor.
When Matty is found dead, brutally stabbed with a broken cider bottle, suspicion falls upon Sally who had admitted to taking special interest in the boy. In spite of having no criminal record, no history of violence and vehemently protesting her innocence and the fact she couldn’t be placed at the remote beauty spot on the day Matty was found murdered, Sally was convicted by a majority verdict and sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in jail. The second season opens with Sally in the dock of Carlisle Crown Court, steely and determined to prove her innocence and that she’s been the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice.
As she waits for the jury to deliver on her appeal, Sally contemplates how she’s lost everything she holds dear. Her relationship, home and marriage to Probation Officer, Sam, her job as Head of English at a local comprehensive, her status and good name in the community, and personal contact with her aging mother who now lives in a care home. With the unwavering support of her best friend, Jenny, Editor of the local Cumbrian Post newspaper, Sally has been given a lifeline, as new evidence, which places her six miles from the murder scene, is unearthed.
When the forewoman pronounces Sally is ‘not guilty’ of the crime which has destroyed her life her first thoughts are for Matty and his parents, John and Maria Taylor, who are still living their nightmare. Hell-bent on reclaiming some of her life, Sally sets out to help the police seek answers and find the real killer. DCI Michael Braithwaite returning to work after a period of absence is charged with re-investigating the case and is determined to discover the true identity of Matty’s killer.
Rounding out the cast are Jamie Bamber (Strike Back), Priyanga Burford (Fearless), Shaun Dooley (Gentleman Jack), Amy-Leigh Hickman (Ackley Bridge), Lucy Black (The Durrells) Michael Yare (Game Of Thrones) Andrew Tiernan (Marcella), Nadia Albina (Years And Years), Poppy Miller (Mapp & Lucia) , Janine Wood (Silent Witness), Laura Rollins (Doctors) and Michael Stevenson (Holby City).
Filming has now started on location in the Lake District and Ireland.
“Innocent II is a thriller which keeps you guessing to the very end. Chris and Matt’s brilliant scripts are compelling and the characters incredibly relatable”, said ITV’s Drama Commissioner Huw Kennair Jones, who is overseeing the production for the broadcaster. “We’re thrilled to be working again with TXTV and Chris Lang on a second instalment of Innocent.”

ITV are advertising series 2 so it can't be long now.
I'd almost totally forgotten series 1 (it was 3 years ago) but it doesn't matter since this is a different story with a different cast, but having the same basis of an innocent person convicted of murder.

I see from the comments I've watched this twice but I can barely remember it. Oh dear! Must be getting old. I seem to have liked it though, so fingers crossed.

The same applies to me - except for watching twice. The title is familiar and from my comments I see that I got very involved in it. It had Hermione Norris and Lee Ingleby, two of my favourite actors, and the title is familiar but I have absolutely no recollection of the plot! Still, I obviously enjoyed it so will look forward to the new series. |

I thought it was very good, proof being that I was taken by surprise that the hour had passed!

I reckon Sally is going to reclaim everybody and thing that was in her life before jail.
She’s already made a start getting her job back, next on her list I reckon is her husband.!!
Very watchable.

Anymore to come?
