There’s also some new actors joining the line up including Sheila Hancock, Susan Lynch, Phaldut Sharma, Liz White, Andy Nyman, Clare Calbraith and Lucy Speed.

Speaking about returning as DCI Cassie Stuart, Nicola said: “Coming back to the role in January (2020) was so exciting because of the storyline and the suspects this year it’s very timely.

“Our writer Chris Lang seems to have a knack for that... I don’t know how he does it but it tends to be a conversation with the audience about what is going on exactly in our society at the time.”

Sanjeev Bhaskar added: “This job has also been the most fun I’ve had. I believe we have laughed more on all of these series than we do on any other job and, given the subject matter, that has kept us sane. "
