Collision is a five-part drama (airing across consecutive weeknights from 9 November) created by Anthony Horowitz (Stormbreaker) and directed by Marc Evans (My Little Eye). It's about a group of people's lives that intersect after a tragic car accident, and the cast includes: Douglas Henshall (Primeval) and Kate Ashfield (Shaun Of The Dead) as detectives, Paul McGann (Withnail & I) as a millionaire property dealer, Lucy Griffiths (Robin Hood) as a waitress, Dean Lennox Kelly (Shameless) and Craig Kelly (Coronation Street) as shady brothers, David Bamber (Rome) as a piano teacher, Claire Rushbrook (New Tricks) as a secretary, and Phil Davis (Whitechapel).
The premise sounds interesting, if broadly similar to Lost's setup (a big disaster bringing disparate characters together), but it's the excellent cast that has my attention. I never liked dour Douglas Henshall in Primeval, but he'll hopefully fare better in a more realistic scenario; it'll be a treat to have Lucy Griffiths back on our screens again (and draw in the Robin Hood fans, I'm betting); it's about time Paul McGann started turning up in primetime regularly; and I always enjoy what David Bamber and Phil Davis bring to a production.
It's another ITV drama worth getting excited about! What's happening to the world? Collision hits screens on Monday 9 November and there's a new episode every night on ITV1 @9pm until Friday 13 November.
