Holding (new & exclusive) - Limited series

Game of Thrones star, Conleth Hill, is unrecognisable as police officer Sergeant PJ Collins in the darkly comic murder mystery, Holding – new and exclusive to BritBox.


Set in the insular fictional village of Duneen, West Cork, on the edge of Ireland, a place with its own climate and rhythms, Holding is a darkly comic murder mystery adapted from TV presenter Graham Norton’s funny and tenderly perceptive best-selling debut novel.
 
Olivier Award-winning actor Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones, Dublin Murders, Vienna Blood) plays police officer Sergeant PJ Collins, a gentle soul who hides from people and fills his days with comfort food and half-hearted police work. When the body of long-lost local legend Tommy Burke is discovered, PJ is called on to solve a serious crime for the first time in his career, and he finally has to connect with the village he has tried hard to avoid.
 
Also starring leading Irish actors Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls), Oscar-winner Brenda Fricker (My Left Foot, Veronica Guerin), Charlene McKenna (Ripper Street, Peaky Blinders), Helen Behan (The Virtues), and Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, Shameless), Holding is directed by award-winning director, producer and actor Kathy Burke (Nil By Mouth, Elizabeth, Pan).
 
“A charming adaptation of Graham Norton’s novel … Kathy Burke directs a take on the murder mystery that has wit, warmth and compassion.” – The Guardian
