Vicky McClure (Line of Duty) and Johnny Harris’ brutal confrontation in This Is England ’86 was unforgettable; the pair are no less compelling in this four-part whodunit.
) and Johnny Harris are firm friends off screen but fierce adversaries on it. They have history. Their scene together in Shane Meadows’, where McClure’s Lol is assaulted by her father and then kills him was a chilling, brutal encounter that no one who saw it will forget. So the prospect of a renewed confrontation, even as other characters, in the upcoming thrillerIt’s been a decade in the making, though.
It falls to McClure’s Stella to unpick the past and find out. We meet her three years on from the murder, during which time she’s become something of a recluse. A cab driver in Nottingham, her life is maundering and directionless until she finds herself embarking on a restorative justice program that puts her in contact with Charles, her daughter’s killer.“Solving what happened to her daughter gives Stella some purpose again to try and fight for what’s right and get some answers,” says McClure.
“He is either a very, very dangerous, manipulative, psychopathic man. Or he is a very, very desperate, really quite simple man who’s trapped,” says Johnny Harris of his role in Without Sin.The problem, perhaps, is that their first performance together has proved indelible. If they’re incendiary on screen, then in real life together McClure and Harris are like naughty kids on report – finishing each other’s sentences, cracking the other one up, stoically refusing to take anything seriously. I ask them how they work up such passion on set … and that draws the biggest laugh of the day.
