Lynda La Plante is contemplating how she would like to bring her dogged detective DCI Jane Tennison, originally played 30 years ago by Helen Mirren, back to life. “I’ve been asked this so many times. I thought, ‘What is she doing now?’ She’s past retirement age. I’ve started a novel, but she’s retired.” La Plante reveals Tennison may be brought out of retirement to investigate a cold case. “I’m working on it. It’s on the back burner. I’d love it for the screen. I’d love to meet Helen and say, ‘Come back now! One more time, Helen!’ But she’s so hugely successful and such a big movie star now that I don’t know if she would be interested. It would be wonderful, though.”
