How many episodes are there of The Salisbury Poisonings?
The three-part drama is airing at 9pm over three consecutive nights from Sunday June 14 on BBC One.
Filming for the drama began at the end of October 2019 after the series was announced in May of the same year.
Anne-Marie Duff stars as Wiltshire’s director of public health, Tracy Daszkiewicz, who was crucial in co-ordinating the response to the attack.
Speaking about Tracy, actress Anne-Marie has said:“Even when you google this subject, she’s hardly there and it seems such an irony because she was very much there and very much in the middle of it all.
“She is not interested in bureaucracy or people pleasing. She’s just absolutely interested in taking care of people in a very true way, that’s her innate personality.”
Rafe Spall is playing Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, a police officer who is also poisoned by the nerve agent.
MyAnna Buring and Johnny Harris are also in the cast, Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley.
Mark Addy plays Segei Skripal's neighbour Ross Cassidy, while Annabel Scholey plays Nick Bailey's wife Sarah.
Other cast members include Ron Cook, Stella Gonet, Faye McKeever, Kimberley Nixon and Duncan Pow.
