Bill Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter to star as married couple in new BBC drama
Despite the title, California Avenue takes place deep in the ‘70s English countryside, at a caravan park beside a canal. The peace is somewhat shattered by the arrival of Lela (Erin Doherty, Adolescence) who is on the run with her 11-year-old child in tow. Here, she meets showman outcast Cooper (Tom Burke, Strike) and begins to reconnect with her parents Jerry and Eddie (Nighy and Bonham Carter) as the family reunites in a story full of compassion and humour.
