In the drama, the mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on-board a Trident nuclear submarine bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) leads an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that threatens the very heart of Britain\u2019s nuclear deterrent.<\/p>\n<p>Jones (<em>Gentleman Jack<\/em>, <em>Doctor Foster<\/em>) will star alongside Rose Leslie (<em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, <em>The Good Fight<\/em>), Shaun Evans (<em>Endeavour<\/em>, <em>Whitechapel<\/em>), Anjli Mohindra (<em>Bodyguard<\/em>, <em>Bancroft<\/em>), Martin Compston (<em>Line of Duty<\/em>, <em>Mary Queen of Scots<\/em>), Paterson Joseph (<em>The Leftovers<\/em>, <em>Peep Show<\/em>), Connor Swindells (<em>Sex Education<\/em>, <em>Jamestown<\/em>), Adam James (<em>Belgravia<\/em>, <em>Doctor Foster<\/em>) and Gary Lewis (<em>His Dark Materials<\/em>, <em>Billy Elliot<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Jones commented: \u201cTom Edge has created a thrill of a story, set in a world I knew nothing about. The cast and crew World Productions have put together to tell this story is so exciting. Amy Silva is a brilliantly complex character, thrown into a highly charged situation where her authority is weakened. We watch as she navigates her own personal trauma and loss, all at a time when she\u2019s questioning her relationships and life choices. It feels fresh and relevant and I can\u2019t wait to start filming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leslie added: \u201cI was weaned on BBC drama and it is thrilling to be back working at a place that feels like home with Tom Edge&#8217;s complex and gripping script. It will be a real honor to work with Suranne and I am looking forward to filming back in Scotland.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Edge said: \u201cI&#8217;m completely thrilled to be making this series with the talented people at World Productions and BBC Drama. The \u2018Continuous At Sea Deterrent\u2019, better known as \u2018Trident\u2019, has been a contentious part of national life for half a century now, a stock of nuclear missiles kept hundreds of feet below the sea surface. But this world has rarely been explored on-screen. I can\u2019t wait to take a BBC One audience down with us, into the pitch-black icy waters of the unseen Atlantic, where tomorrow\u2019s geopolitical struggles are already being played out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Piers Wenger, controller of BBC Drama, added, \u201c<em>Vigil<\/em> is a fantastic, adrenalized thriller set in a shadowy world which has stakes for us all. We are delighted to be working again with World Productions and the exceptionally talented writer, Tom Edge to bring this exciting story to BBC One with an outstanding cast led by Suranne Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Heath, CEO and creative director at World Productions, said, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that the first drama out of our Scottish office is such a timely and gripping idea, brilliantly executed by Tom Edge. We couldn\u2019t ask for a stronger cast, led by the brilliant Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC One has commissioned a brand-new six-part thriller, tentatively titled Vigil, from World Productions, the makers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[201,725],"class_list":["post-12631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-world-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
