Is there anything more irritating than recognising an actor in a programme and not being able to place them? Thankfully, we’re here to help when it comes to who’s who’s in the Showtrial cast.
The BBC drama follows Talitha Campbell, the estranged daughter of a property developer, and solicitor Cleo Roberts.
Talitha is charged with conspiring to murder a fellow student. And the trial that follows grips – and divides – the nation.
The prosecution weaponises Talitha’s gender and her privileged background against her. But is she a scapegoat, or a callous killer?
