Torchwood and Operation Mincemeat stars lead new BBC thriller The Guest

As a fan who has always been captivated by the intricate narratives of psychological thrillers, I am absolutely thrilled to learn about “The Guest”. With its all-star Welsh cast led by the talented Eve Myles and Gabrielle Creevy, this series promises to deliver an enthralling tale of power dynamics, friendship, and deception.


The BBC has unveiled an exciting, fresh thriller show titled “The Guest.” This upcoming series will feature actresses Eve Myles, known for her role in Torchwood, and Gabrielle Creevy, who starred in Operation Mincemeat.

The upcoming four-part television production, scheduled to begin filming this month near Cardiff, has been characterized as an engaging, swiftly moving tale focusing on the complex and captivating dynamic between a prosperous entrepreneur named Fran and her worker, Ria.

Ria, for lack of time and chances, hasn’t contemplated her true desires regarding what she seeks from the world.

When she begins cleaning for Fran, she’s captivated by this confident and assertive woman who inspires her to seize control of her own life. As Ria grows more self-reliant, a deep bond of friendship develops between them.

Yet, when Fran’s guidance results in a startling incident, the lives of these two distinct individuals find an unexpected connection through mutual secrets and perilous schemes.

“What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat-and-mouse. But just who is playing who?”

Matthew Barry expressed great enthusiasm in a statement about collaborating once more with Nicola, Davina, and the entire Quay Street Productions and BBC crew on bringing “The Guest” to fruition.

Beyond merely providing a heart-pounding thrill, this work delves deeply into societal themes, particularly exploring the intricacies of class, social advancement, and the widening gap between the privileged and underprivileged segments of our society.

As a cinema enthusiast, I’ve got to tell you, the director Lindsay Salt of BBC drama has this fascinating take on “The Guest.” She describes it as an incredibly engaging, skillfully woven thriller that’s bound to keep viewers hooked.

Following the outstanding, top-rated reception for the heartwarming and uplifting series “Men Up”, we’re thrilled to collaborate once more with Matthew Barry and Quay Street Productions on a new Welsh-based drama. This talented ensemble will be joining us on this exciting project.

Myles hasn’t just landed one new role recently; she’ll also take on leading roles for “The Crow Girl” on Paramount Plus and “Cold Water” on ITV, sharing the screen with Andrew Lincoln.

The Guest will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
