I had the pleasure to interview Jade Anouka. Jade stars in ITV 1’s three part drama TRAUMA. Written by Mike Bartlett and set in a trauma unit of a London hospital, TRAUMA sees Jade’s character’s grieving father blame a high-achieving trauma consultant for the death of his teenage son and will also star Adrian Lester and John Simm. Jade has also been cast in ITV’s CLEAN BREAK alongside BAFTA-winning actress Sheridan Smith. CLEAN BREAK is created and written by screenwriting newcomer Mark Marlow and focuses on an ordinary working class woman who is caught between two worlds — the everyday life of a devoted and loving Mum and the darker, dangerous world of insider trading.

THE DARK CHANNEL is written and directed by Mark Davis who has previously worked on BLACK MIRROR and TABOO. This Sci-Fi Drama will also star Mark Williams and Richard Dillane.
