Channel 5 and Acorn TV have commissioned a 6-part thriller from Sally Lindsay and Sue Vincent.
The Reluctant Madame Blanc (working title) is being co-produced by Liverpool’s Clapperboard and Saffron Cherry Productions in Manchester.
It will be premiered on Acorn TV internationally, before heading to Channel 5 in the UK.
Lindsay said she would be playing lead character, Jean White, an antiques dealer, who runs a successful business in Cheshire, with her husband Rory.
However, things take a dark turn, when she learns that Rory has died on his way home from the South of France. Things get more mysterious when she discovers that all their money has disappeared, their antiques shop has been remortgaged and all assets pawned off.
