Overview

- Aimee-Ffion Edwards, who plays a protected survivor in episode one, said the forensic examination scenes were the hardest to film, underscoring the show’s focus on the ordeal after an assault.
- Episode two follows student Laila Mahmood, whose report is dismissed by police even with CCTV evidence, reflecting the series’ theme of institutional neglect.
- Creator Jeff Pope cast Daniel Mays to show why passengers trusted Worboys, and Mays said the role was isolating and emotionally taxing.
- ITV lists episodes three and four for May 17 and 18 on broadcast, while the full box set is available to binge now on ITVX.
