NEW DRAMA

Save Me

WEDNESDAY / SKY ATLANTIC / 9.00PM

Two of TV’s top talents come together this week as Suranne Jones and Lennie James star in gritty new six-part drama Save Me. Created and written by Lennie (Line of Duty), who plays the series’ anti-hero Nelson ‘Nelly’ Rowe, it is about a man who must prove his innocence when he’s accused of kidnapping his estranged teenage daughter, Jody.

Ducker and diver Nelly’s world is turned upside down when he’s arrested. And with Jody’s mother Claire (Doctor Foster’s Suranne) convinced of his guilt, Nelly must set out to save his daughter and clear his name.
