CANNES CONFIDENTIAL
NEW FROM MONDAY 26 JUNE, ACORN TV DRAMA (TWO EPISODES RELEASED WEEKLY)
Catching criminals isn’t often a glamorous business, but when your patch covers the sun-kissed streets of Cannes in the south of France, it definitely helps!
In Acorn TV’s new six-part romantic crime drama Cannes Confidential, no-nonsense detective Camille Delmasse (French actor Lucie Lucas) is having a stressful day when she collides with charismatic art collector Harry King (Beyond Paradise favourite Jamie Bamber).
For Camille, it’s hate at first sight – but as she keeps encountering Harry while investigating the murder of a famous street artist, the barbed banter between the two takes a flirtatious turn. Could some French kisses be on the cards?
TV Times joined Jamie, 50, for an exclusive chat to find out more…
What can you tell us about your character?
When we meet Harry, he has an accident with Camille on the street – he’s on a bike and she’s in a car – and he finds himself gradually implicated in this case she’s investigating. You don’t really know anything about him, and we slowly suss that he’s probably up to no good! The character reminded me of the Pink Panther movies, and Cary Grant films like To Catch a Thief [1955].
Harry keeps popping up in town and infuriating Camille, so they get off on the wrong foot. The badinage was what drew me in – that sexual chemistry between two people who find each other intolerable!
