Connections Paranoid by DJ Forrest



 ITV drama series.


When a female GP is murdered in a rural playground in front of many witnesses, it brings a group of detectives from both UK and Europe to solve the mystery, aided by mysterious notes by the ‘Ghost Detective.’

Written and created by Bill Gallagher, it’s been a really interesting series that I only wish I’d seen right from the start, and not mid-way through. It is great to see Indira Varma in a role that I can stomach watching. (Not a fan of GoT, it scares the Weevil).
What I did notice was the array of Whoniverse actors in the series – did you?

We’ve done the research so you don’t have to, unless of course, you want to, that is.
