BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv)
will present Series 1 of Scott &
Bailey from October 26 at 20h05.
Detective Constable Rachel Bailey is 30,
down-to-earth, noisy, argumentative and single. She’s a hardworking, committed
detective. She had been in a relationship with a barrister, Nick, until he left
her for the wife she didn’t know he had. Meanwhile Detective Constable Janet
Scott is 40, a diplomat and a thinker, as well as being a wife and mother to
two teenage girls. She had very strong reasons for wanting to be a detective –
a close friend was murdered when they were children and the crime has never
been solved.
They both work for Manchester Metropolitan
Police’s prestigious Murder Investigation Team and, despite the obvious
differences between them, the fact that they are often thrown together in
difficult situations means they have developed a robust friendship.
Each episode sees Rachel and Janet facing a
serious crime that is both challenging and emotionally difficult as well as coping
with their complex personal lives. Is Rachel really over her split with Nick?
And will Janet find the answers she’s looking for when she investigates her
friend’s murder?
Co-created by Sally Wainwright and
ex-Detective Inspector Diane Taylor, formerly of the Major Incident Team at
Greater Manchester Police, Scott & Bailey is an honest, powerful and funny
crime drama series. It features Suranne Jones as DC Rachel Bailey and Lesley
Sharp as DC Janet Scott.
