Who is in the cast of The Pembrokeshire Murders and where have you seen them before? Here's what we know about the ITV drama...
The Pembrokeshire Murders is the brand new true crime drama on ITV which depicts the pursuit of serial killer John Cooper.
From the makers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard, the drama is adapted from the true crime book Catching the Bullseye Killer, written by Senior Investigating Officer Steve Wilkins and ITV news journalist Jonathan Hill.
A synopsis of the series reads: "Two unsolved double murders from the 1980s cast a shadow over the work of the Dyfed Powys police force. In 2006, newly promoted Detective Superintendent Steve Wilkins decided to reopen both cases.
"Employing pioneering forensic methods, Wilkins and his handpicked team found microscopic DNA and fibres that potentially linked the murders to a string of burglaries committed in the 80s and 90s."
