What’s On TV This Week: 4th December – 10th December
Jasmine Jobson
Top Boy's cast and crew on its legacy
It’s no easy task to think of a programme that’s done more for cutting-edge British drama than Top Boy. Having made its debut on Channel 4 in 2011 and running for two series before Netflix revived it for a further three, the gritty drama follows the drug gangs of London’s fictional Summerhouse estate in Hackney with exemplary authenticity.
Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson to lead new ITVX thriller Platform 7
Based on the novel of the same name by Louise Doughty, the "haunting" and "nail-biting" series follows Lisa (Jobson) after she witnesses a catastrophic event on platform 7 of a railway station. The trauma somehow jogs her memory and reveals a connection between her own life and the event.
Toby Regbo (A Discovery of Witches), Yaamin Chowdhury (The Lazardus Project), Phil Davis (Trying) and Reece Ritchie (The Outpost) will also star.
