NEW DRAMA
Lie With Me
Mon-Thu, Channel 5 HD, 9 pm
Best known for playing evil Janine Butcher in EastEnders, actor Charlie Brooks is at the center of high drama this week when she stars in Channel 5’s compelling new thriller Lie With Me.
Airing over four nights, it tells the story of British woman Anna and her husband Jake, played by Australian actor Brett Tucker, who relocate from England to Jake’s native Australia for a fresh start after infidelity rocks their marriage.

However, Becky isn’t the innocent stranger she appears to be. What follows is a tangled web of secrets, lies and betrayal – with deadly consequences.
