Laura Fraser on co-starring with Siobhan Finneran as cops on the trail of a serial killer preying on a remote Scottish community
The stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands is the evocative setting for ITV’s haunting six-part crime drama The Loch, in which a seemingly idyllic rural community is terrorised by a serial killer. Just as no one really knows what lies beneath the waters of Loch Ness, the inhabitants of nearby town Lochnefoy don’t know if one of their own is a murderer.
‘The location is a big part of the show,’ says The Missing’s Laura Fraser, who heads the stellar cast as local detective sergeant Annie Redford. ‘What sets this drama apart is the terrifying thought that a cold-blooded serial killer could be someone within the community. The monster lurking beneath the surface could be living next door.’
The nightmare for the residents begins when the body of a local man is found at the foot of a mountain and a post mortem reveals that he was murdered and a sliver of his brain was removed.
Brought in to lead the murder investigation is Glasgow-based DCI Lauren Quigley, played by Happy Valley’s Siobhan Finneran, whose forthright manner doesn’t endear her to local chief inspector Frank Smilie (John Sessions).
