The BBC has just released the first trailer of a new drama, Vigil from World Productions (behind Line of Duty, Bodyguard and The Pembrokeshire Murders).

 

Suranne Jones, Martin Compston and Rose Leslie are amongst the cast.

No word on when it's airing yet - given we're about to head into Summer I bet they're saving it for this year's big August bank holiday drama premiere (which worked well for Bodyguard!)

Yeah this looks really good!

Really liked the look of the trailer last night, I'll certainly be watching!

 

Interesting, ITV also have their own submarine-murder series this year with 'Tenacity'.

Begins on August 29th!

You were right! Big start for the Autumn schedule!

The series begins with an episode on both the Sunday & Bank Holiday Monday!

This was intriguing, the submarine setting is really claustrophobic and atmospheric whilst it’s balanced nicely with the investigations in the Scottish scenery. Really looking forward to the second part tomorrow.

Yeh was good, is this all on the iplayer already?

Nope it'll be weekly instalments

 

I didn't watch it last night, but will catch up today. Hope it's good

Ah well will have to look forward to it to brighten up a Sunday night during the autumn nights!

Real Line of Duty feel to the end of tonight episode which was gripping!

Are the "MI5" agents the US Naval team? Must have only been paying half attention.

 

Not quite sure where this is going, seems like all the crew have been investigated apart from the Captain and that feels way too obvious.

Yeh Johnston is def suspicious of espionage!

 

Like the political context with trident and all!

This is brilliant loving it 😍

I'm currently v suspicious of the woman who delivers the messages, she's coming across as far too nice and hasn't had any form of investigation so far.

This is SO good... I've only watched 2 episodes so far but anything Suranne does is just effortless.

 

I don't think we can rule out the medic btw... there was something really off about her during the interogation scene.

They always make the left out to be helping the Russians don’t they!

Oh my god I’m gonna have nightmares tonight with that ending!

At least all the rubbish flashbacks make sense now.

i have to say... does every detective show have to have previous, serious trauma that effects that others can utilise as a reason for their inability to carry out their duty?
