WITNESS NUMBER 3

NEW MONDAY-THURSDAY, 9PM,

CHANNEL 5 DRAMA

A single mum finds her life spiralling out of control after she comes forward with key evidence about a murder in Channel 5's brand-new thriller Witness Number 3.

Airing over four consecutive nights this week, the series sees Bodyguard star Nina ToussaintWhite play hairdresser Jodie Packer, who unwittingly becomes the only witness to a gangland killing, sparking a terrifying campaign of intimidation to silence her.

Here, Nina, 36, tells TV Times why the story is set to have viewers gripped...

How does Jodie find herself embroiled in the murder investigation?

One morning, Jodie looks out of the window at work and sees two men crossing the street. It doesn't seem out of the ordinary. But then the police make an appeal and Jodie steps forward, and we soon realise that she has actually witnessed a killer just moments before a murder. The killer is part of a gang and Jodie's evidence could mean that they go to prison. So the gang begins to threaten her and her family through texts and breaking into her salon.

It's a tense, suffocating, voyeuristic psychological thriller that forces the audience to question how far they'd go to do the right thing, and at what cost.

PC Ivan Barkas (Sion Daniel Young) is assigned to protect Jodie, but there seems something off about him. Are we right to be suspicious?
