Morrissey explains 'South Riding' role


A new drama South Riding is relevant to modern audiences has been claimed by David Morrissey.

Speaking to What's On TV, Morrissey explained that his character Robert will be unhappy about Sarah's arrival.

"Robert is a middle-class landowner who is on the local council and takes his duties seriously," he said. "Sarah has strong views about the education of women whereas Robert's a traditionalist, so she starts off rubbing him up the wrong way."

Morrissey described the drama as a "rollicking great story about unrequited love and social conscience", adding: "It's relevant to a modern audience, too, as it's set in a time of economic hardship."

South Riding begins on Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
