Cracker
The multi-award winning crime drama returns in a hard-hitting, new murder story starring Robbie Coltrane as criminal psychologist ‘Fitz’. This brand new feature-length episode, written by acclaimed writer and Cracker creator Jimmy McGovern sees Fitz and his wife back in the UK after 10 years living in Australia. What was meant to be a fleeting visit for their daughter’s wedding sees Fitz rediscovering old passions and desperate to prove he’s still got what it takes to get inside the mind of a killer.
The lure of a new murder investigation proves irresistible, despite the changes to the people and places he knew before, and he leaps at the chance to help police crack the apparently random killing of a well-connected American comedian. He’s soon on the trail of a troubled ex-soldier, who – like Fitz – is trapped in the past. Tormented by his experiences in Northern Ireland, and haunted by the ghosts of his Comrades, Fitz is alone in understanding – but we he be able to stop him killing again?
