After a racy turn in Netflix drama Sense8 and a spell in Law & Order: UK, it’s safe to say that Freema Agyeman has put her days as a Doctor Who companion behind her – but if anything scrubs Martha Jones from people’s minds it’ll be her latest role in gritty crime drama North v South.
In a RadioTimes.com exclusive, this new trailer shows Agyeman as Penny, a woman embroiled in a crime war between northern and southern UK gangs who jumps into the fray with reckless abandon.
Attacking her London rivals with guns and knives, Penny claims she’ll do “whatever has to be done” to win the war.
It’s certainly lightyears from the sort of roles we’ve seen Agyeman play in the past. What WOULD the Doctor think?
Agyeman will be joined in North v South by Keith Allen, Steven Berkoff, Bernard Hill and Charlotte Hope as the various members of the warring clans. The film will be released in UK cinemas on 16 October.
