Fans of crime and drama shows have a new programme to binge soon as the BBC’s latest detective series, The Woman in the Wall starts this week.
The show follows Lorna Brady, played by Ruth Wilson, who wakes from sleepwalking to discover a corpse in her house.
With no idea who the deceased woman is or if she’s responsible for her apparent murder, Lorna begins retracing her steps.
But as she starts solving the mystery, Lorna realises that the mysterious woman may be linked to her past town, Magdalene Laundry.
Elsewhere, in Dublin, Detective Colman Akande, played by Daryl McCormack is tasked to solve the murder of a local priest, which leads him to Lorna.
The Woman in the Wall features big names in Wilson and McCormack, with viewers likely to recognise Wilson from her roles in Luther, His Dark Materials, The Lone Ranger and many more.
Meanwhile, McCormack has featured in hit shows, Bad Sisters, Peaky Blinders and films Pixie and Good luck to you, Leo Grande.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
