Topic: Identity (UK)
New show in the UK based on identity theft.
Keeley Hawes and Aidan Gillen star in Identity, a new ITV crime television series about identity theft
that is due to air in the UK on 5 July 2010.
Keeley Hawes of Ashes to Ashes fame is to star in a new British crime drama called Identity;
the first of the six episodes is due to air on ITV on Monday 5 July 2010.
Keeley Hawes plays DSI Martha Lawson who heads up a team of detectives who work on cases in which
identity crime plays a significant role.
But this is more than simple identity theft, where a thief steals someone’s credit card details
and goes on a spending spree. Here we are talking about identity theft to commit murder,
to cross borders and to engage in terrorism.
Keeley Hawes’ co-star is Aidan Gillen who plays DI John Bloom, an ex-undercover cop, who thus
has first-hand experience of pretending to be someone else but who has psychological problems as a result.
The rest of the team are uncomfortable with some of his policing methods.
