I was disappointed already after the first section of the Abi Morans ”The split” (Abi Moran wrote, among other things, the tv-series ”The hour,” and screenplays for ”the iron lady”). It wasn’t just Nicola Walker which was bad as överklassadvokat, it was a dialogue with the straightjacket – in every replikskifte it would hagla syrligheter, wasted joke, three layers of subtext and a scathing one-liner as a punschpralin at the top.
at the same time, there were some closest to the unprecedented strong beautiful moment in ”The split”, and then almost always between the right Nicola Walker’s Hanna and her mother Ruth, the wonderful Deborah Findlay.
then I went all-in in a declaration of love to Nicola Walker, I wrote, among other things, that she gave the set to zero uttryckslösheten a new face, ”she can freeze the empty spaces in a way that very few can”. In an interview with uk’s The Telegraph gave herself the answer to the question of what she (thought) she did: ”I think I’m finally growing into my face. I’ve always had a resting expression that either makes me look deep in thought or as though I’m about to fight you.”
In the third season of ”Missing, never forgotten” (BBC1, Saturdays), based author Chris Lang, as usual, a variety of parallel stories – in the centre of a cold case, a historical murder, which, above all, Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) will try to solve.
And I can (once again) not to remind me of a living actor with Nicola Walker’s lingering, hesitant style of play park for the whole of her in a state of anticipation – and so at the same time this small movement forward, put both in her eyes, a pair of raised eyebrows, a deep, surprised expression, or a small, suddenly, revelatory smile. She is an incredibly crafty actor in an extremely tricky role.

the whole full of doubt, one-hundred percent genuine, but almost no movement at all.
The biggest of her interpretation (and Chris Lang’s script) is perhaps that it is all the way in under the skin of her when she educational in explaining to their employees what from now on is important. Why it is of such colossal importance to solve a disappearance 25 years later, why it never just seems to be a police clearance for her – she always carries on a genuine sense of the victim to each and every prize shall have their redress.
It does not take many minutes before we are one hundred per cent share her feeling.
the Question is, at the same time if it had found any tv series in the world-class Sanjeev Bhaskars Sunny? Their relationship is a surprise unceasingly, also on the where the closest to the invisible micro level. They have a rare way to wait for each other, and their friendship is of that kind you feel the deepest envy in the face. That when she awakens him late in a hotel room after a nightly walk when she suddenly got an idea, and maybe have a theory. They are sitting in his hotel bed and chatting, she gets up, turns in the door on the way out and says: ”Fine pyjamasbyxor. Cozy.”
the laughter through the closed door.
Now we are waiting impatiently for Sally wainwright’s third season of ”Happy valley”, with another of Britain’s brilliant actresses in the lead role, Sarah Lancashire. In the meantime, we also benefit with the Wainwrights ”vardagsserie”, välspelade and fun ”Scott & Bailey”.
