Series overview

Brand new two‐part drama, Undeniable is a gripping thriller from acclaimed writer Chris Lang (A Mother’s Son, The Reckoning), starring Claire Goose (Mount Pleasant, Exile) and Peter Firth (World Without End, MI‐5).

Claire Goose stars as Jane Phillips, a woman who recognises her mother’s murderer, twenty‐three years after the crime. Despite being just seven years old when she witnessed the killing, she’s determined to bring the man she believes is responsible to justice.

Starring alongside Claire is Peter Firth as Andrew Rawlins, a leading Oncologist who becomes the focus of Jane’s attention, and the prime suspect for a murder inquiry that has remained unsolved for almost three decades.

Episode one

As a child Jane Philips survived a savage and brutal attack by an anonymous stranger that left her mother dead. The murderer was never found.

23 years later Jane is pregnant with her second child, but she still carries the mental scars of that fateful day. Attending an antenatal clinic at the local General Hospital Jane suddenly finds herself confronted by a man she is adamant killed her mother. Andrew Rawlins is in fact an eminent consultant oncologist employed by the Health Trust.

And yet Andrew is suspended and as enquiries proceed certain inconsistencies in both Andrew and Jane’s testimonies cast doubt on the innocence and integrity of each of them.

The strain tests their respective familial relationships to breaking. Yielding under great pressure, Andrew reluctantly submits to a blood test which DCI Ali Hall, the original investigating officer believes will prove Andrew’s guilt conclusively. However, despite the rising anticipation, Andrew’s blood DNA doesn’t match the DNA traces newly recovered from the evidence. Jane is certain of Andrew’s guilt and won’t accept this conclusion, much to the distress of her family.

In spite of irrefutable evidence, Jane remains convinced that Andrew is guilty. So, when Andrew is reinstated at the hospital where he works as a consultant oncologist, she assaults him publicly at the hospital. Andrew’s daughter and lawyer, Emma applies for a restraining order against Jane.

Jane’s life begins to unravel as her family become increasingly concerned about her obsession with Andrew. And when Ali Hall, her loyal ally, is relieved of the investigation it looks as though all hope is lost. However, Jane remains defiant and does her own digging into Andrew’s past. When she tracks down the address for Andrew’s former wife, Isobel she decides to pay her a visit. Although Isobel isn’t at home, her new husband gives Jane damning information.

As Ali is leaving the station she gets a phone call from a former student nurse who had dealings with Andrew Rawlins many years before. It’s enough for Jane to persuade Ali Hall to investigate Andrew’s former professional history as a young doctor. The profile of a violent, abusive and self-*‐obsessed fantasist starts to emerge.

Following a confrontation between Emma and Jane, Emma is compelled to visit her estranged mother and learn about the past. Isobel is a former doctor and now hopeless alcoholic, but could she hold the key to the truth?
