What Viewpoint on ITV is about, cast and where you have seen them before

ITV's latest drama Viewpoint is set to leave viewers on the edge of their seat.

Based on an idea by Fleabag and Emmy award-winning director, Harry Bradbeer and co-created and written by Edgar award-winner Ed Whitmore, the gripping five-part drama follows a tense police surveillance investigation into a tight-knit Manchester community.

The series explores whether it is ever possible to observe the lives of others with true objectivity and zero effect.

In episode one, primary school teacher Gemma goes missing in Manchester.

Surveillance officers Martin and Stella are tasked with observing the prime suspect, Gemma’s boyfriend Greg Sullivan.

What is Viewpoint about?

Noel Clarke plays surveillance detective DC Martin Young, who sets up his observation post in the home of a single mum and secret voyeur, Zoe Sterling, played by Alexandra Roach.

Zoe’s windows command a panoramic view of Westbury Square, and more importantly provides a direct sightline into the home of missing primary school teacher, Gemma Hillman, played by Amy Wren; the home she shares with her boyfriend and the prime suspect in her disappearance, Greg Sullivan, played by Fehinti Balogun.
