Is Keeley hiding from us ?

Keeley Hawes returns to our screens as a detective in ITV’s new two-part drama, Honour, about the real-life so-called ‘honour killing’ of Banaz Mahmod and the subsequent investigation.

Hawes (Bodyguard) will star as Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Goode, the officer who was given the Queen’s Police Medal for her investigation into the missing 20-year-old.

The two-part series is written by Vanity Fir’s Gwyneth Hughes, and follows the investigation that took place after 20-year-old Londoner Banaz Mahmod was killed, her murder arranged by her father and uncle after she left her abusive husband and fell in love with another man.

DCI Goode swore to bring the killers to justice, a pledge that “quickly became personally consuming,” according to ITV.

Hawes – who is executive producing the series with her new company Buddy Club – said: “It is a privilege to be working on Honour…in a time when honour killings are still rife, it is critical to shine a light on such an important subject. Banaz Mahmod’s story, and DCI Goode’s subsequent investigation, is certainly one that needs to be told and I am proud to be a part of it.”

The indexers use a mix of "Criminal: UK" and "Criminal: United Kingdom". Geek has the former at both 720 & 1080.

I use Getflix DNS settings in my router at home, and for the $5 monthly sub you also get a free VPN which I use on my phone and laptop when out and about. Works perfect with the UK channels which we watch pretty much exclusively in our house.

You can also use browser extensions e.g. "Beebs" for Chrome (and Chrome-based) browsers: no VPN required.

Enjoying A Confession. Even more so that it’s a true story. Amazes me the resources available and effort put into solving the crime. Saddens me when you consider the extent of the crime in SA and the inability to curb or solve much of it...
