The Night Caller is a tense Channel 5 thriller series that sees former Hustle star Robert Glenister play a taxi driver Tony with an unhealthy obsession. The disillusioned cab driver from Liverpool listens to a late-night radio talk show fronted by a DJ called Lawrence, played by Sean Pertwee, as he ferries passengers across the city. But when Tony becomes "a friend of the show" he starts to interpret Lawrence’s views in dangerous ways, until he realises the DJ isn’t quite the man he thought he was. Former Casualty star Suzanne Packer plays café-worker Rose, who Tony becomes attached to.
