Synopsis
The second series of the award winning supernatural drama starring Lesley Sharp and Andrew Lincoln, created by Stephen Volk.
In the terrifying and emotional climax to the first series, Alison (Lesley Sharp) collapsed and nearly died during a séance in which she was inhabited by the spirit of Robert's (Andrew Lincoln) dead son. Now on the road to recovery, Alison has to accept that the spirits she has seen since she was a child will never leave her.
Robert meanwhile is in turmoil. Once a total sceptic, his beliefs have been shaken by what he witnessed at the séance. His life becomes even more terrifying when he learns that he has an inoperable brain tumour and may have only weeks left to live. Alison is in no position to help as she is deeply disturbed by a terrifying presence. For the first time in her life she is being haunted by a spirit from her own past, a ghost she must learn to confront if she is to hold onto her sanity.
This multi-award winning drama returns with eight compelling episodes featuring an all-star cast which includes: David Threlfall, Aidan McCardle, Zoe Telford, Liam Cunningham, Julie Graham, Kenneth Cranham and Claire Rushbrook.

Reviews
A new series of the supernatural thriller with an award-winning performance from Lesley Sharp as the medium plagued by spirits, whose gift is like an inconvenient stigmata that refuses to go away. It is a wonderful performance - compassionate, vulnerable, frightened, resigned, defensive, matter of fact and slightly fey." (The Times)
"Lesley Sharp returns with yet another masterly, understated performance as troubled psychic Alison in a second series of this hugely enjoyable, eerie thriller. " (Radio Times)
