A brand new drama will land on Channel 5 on Tuesday, February 21. Desperate Measures, starring Amanda Abbington, Warren Brown and Sunetra Sarker, will kick off at 9pm.
The new series comes hot on the heels of the broadcaster's recent drama, The Catch. Based on T.M. Logan's novel of the same name, the psychological thriller starred Jason Watkins and Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard and was hugely popular among audiences. You can read more about it here.
Desperate Measures will follow diligent bank clerk Rowan, who has raised her teenage son Finn on a lawless estate whilst paying off her absent father's debts. Rowan's life spirals when Finn is coerced into a botched drug deal by a local gang.
