Connections Un Bore Mercher/Keeping Faith by DJ Forrest


Written by Matthew Hall, produced and directed by Pip Broughton and Andy Newbery, Keeping Faith or Un Bore Mercher for those of us watching the series at the moment with or without English subtitles, is all about Faith Howells, played by Eve Myles, who returns early from maternity leave, to manage the family law firm, because her husband, Evan, played by Bradley Freegard, has disappeared.  

With the Police suspicious that Faith might know more than she is letting on, Faith does a little digging of her own, when local man Steve Baldini, reveals deep and dark secrets that leaves Faith wondering if she knew Evan at all.

With brilliant scenery, and familiar landscapes making an appearance in episode 4, and outstanding performances from the entire cast, there’s something worth watching again, on a Sunday evening – and over the coming weeks, thanks to iPlayer (and subtitles).

Keeping Faith – the English version – will be out next year. So, you’ll get to watch it all over again.

As we’ve got an interview planned for next month, with writer and creator of this fantastic series, we thought we’d kick off that by discovering just how many of the cast and crew we’ve met before – and you’ll be surprised at just how many there are.

We’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.
