Tonight 6 part drama ITV 9pm “Out There”.

I really fancy this. Anyone else?

“ With farmers’ woes so much in the headlines, there couldn’t be a timelier moment for this intense rural thriller starring Martin Clunes (who in real life owns a 130-acre farm in Dorset) as Nathan Williams, a farmer in the Welsh Marches whose peaceful, predictable, hardworking lifestyle is shattered by the blight of county lines drug dealing. Writer Marc Evans takes time to carefully sketch out Williams’s character (a widower with a live-in teenage son, a daughter in France and an estranged brother) and the daily rhythms and idiosyncrasies of a rural location on the fringes of a small town suffering the all too familiar ills of unemployment, antisocial behaviour and drug abuse. There are other threats to farming life, too, in the form of deepening economic pressures – but it’s the more immediate problem of Nathan’s son Johnny’s (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) struggle to escape the influence of a local drug dealer that prompts most of the drama in tonight and tomorrow’s opening episodes, of six.”
