In series one, we joined The Man, who we now know is Elliot Stanley, just before he suffered complete memory loss after being driven off the road by a truck.

Together with probationary constable Helen Chambers, who first questioned Elliot about the crash, they set off on a search for his identity.

By the end, however, Elliot was wracked with guilt having made some damning revelations in regards to his life before the crash, which also turned Helen away.

Series two of BBC thriller The Tourist begins filming in Ireland

Series one saw Elliot, played by Jamie Dornan (Belfast), wake up in an Australian hospital with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the help of Constable Helen and waitress Luci, played by Danielle MacDonald (Dumplin’) and Shalom Brune-Franklin (Great Expectations) respectively, Elliot is left reeling from the discoveries of his past, as the puzzle of his identity slowly comes together.

Series two will see Elliot and Helen travel to Dublin, Ireland to unearth Elliot’s roots and find out more about who he was before the accident.

The six-part thriller sees Jamie Dornan (The Fall) as a British man who is ruthlessly pursued through the unforgiving Australian outback by a tank truck determined to drive him off the road. 

This leads to a dangerous cat and mouse game, which sees The Man end up seriously wounded in hospital but miraculously alive. 

He may be alive, but he can no longer remember who he is and dark figures from his past are still chasing him.

Dr Death follows the true story of sociopath and former neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, who’s gross malpractice resulted in the deaths and severe maiming of numerous patients.

Dornan will star as the twisted doctor during his rise in the Dallas medical community, as Duntsch enjoys the booming success of his neurosurgery practice.

This success soon changes as patients who enter for complex but routine surgeries are left severely maimed or deceased.
