What is Before We Die about?

“Before We Die” follows detective Hannah Laing – played by “Full Monty” star Lesley Sharp – who investigates the murder of her colleague and lover Sean.

She links the murder to the Mimicas, a family that runs a successful restaurant in Bristol.

Hannah’s son – Christian – works in the restaurant, implicating him in the murder case and putting the detective in an awkward situation.

Discuss their role with the radio timesLesley said, “I just thought that Hannah is a really interesting, complicated character and that there’s a real opportunity to be involved in something that explores a mother-son relationship in a really unique way.”

“Both Hannah and Christian find themselves in moments in their lives where they are both lost and both trying to get back on track.

“Both need each other very much.”

Lesley also spoke about her love for the original Swedish drama and her desire to be involved in the remake.

She said: “We kind of took inspiration from that [the original] And, you know, we nod to them and then we did something that’s different because the kind of sensibility of being British characters is immediately different from the whole Swedish vibe.

“But in terms of looks, I think we all want a show that doesn’t look like a British police drama.”

“We wanted it to have strong UK roots but look like a dark and somewhat lost Britain – like these characters.”
