ITV's crime drama Unforgotten returns soon [1], with Nicola Walker back as everyone's favourite detective, DCI Cassie Stuart, alongside Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil "Sunny" Khan. Walker is no stranger to our screens in the UK, boasting an impressive CV with roles in Danny Boyle's Babylon, Jane Oliver's Collateral, and, most recently, BBC's legal drama The Split, to name but a few. She's quickly following in the footsteps of Olivia Colman [2] as one of the country's most reliable and beloved drama stars, and she often crops up in those edge-of-your-seat police dramas our country loves so much.
