Close to Me on C4 – what’s it about?
The dramatic trailer shows lead character Jo bloodied and lifeless at the bottom of a flight of stairs.
She’s then rushed to hospital, where she later reveals she cannot remember anything from the past year.
Doctors tell husband Rob that his wife may never recover her memories.
But as her memories slowly begin to seep back, Jo realises she wasn’t alone in the house on the night she fell.
She remembers fighting for her life and screaming for someone to get out of her house.
The viewers will follow Jo as she “follows the breadcrumbs” to see where they lead her.
But she doesn’t like where the trail takes her and she begins to wonder if she is going mad.
Just us who are already suspecting the husband of foul play?
Who stars in Close to Me on C4?
The cast of Close to Me is enough to make us want to tune in.
Danish actress Connie Nielsen, 56, portrays Jo Harding.
Jo appears to have it all – a beautiful house in the country, a loving family and husband – until an entire year suddenly vanishes from her memory.
Jo discovers that her life wasn’t quite as perfect as she imagined – and that someone will do all they can to keep a terrible secret from her.
Connie is perhaps most famous for appearing alongside Russell Crowe in classic sword-and-sandals movie, Gladiator.
She also starred in the two blockbuster Wonder Woman films.
Christopher Eccleston stars as Rob, her devoted husband.
Chris is a very familiar face to British viewers for being the ninth Doctor Who in 2005.
He’s also known for The A Word, Come Home, The Leftovers, Safe House and Fortitude.
Their children, Finn and Sash, are played by Tom Taylor (Us, Doctor Foster) and Rosy McEwen (The Letter Writer, The Angel of Darkness).

“For fans of suspense, especially suspense with a feminine perspective, Close To Me is as good as it gets.”
Another critic said: “A gripping debut psychological drama that will appeal to fans of Liane Moriarty’s The Husband’s Secret, Clare Mackintosh’s I Let You Go, and Linda Green’s While My Eyes Were Closed.”
