“You always look at your past through a certain lens. But in this show, the lens gets moved to a different angle.” Jenna Coleman is talking to Big Issue about her new detective drama, The Jetty, which explores themes of consent, morality and sexual awakenings in a small Lancashire tourist town.
From Doctor Who to lockdown hit The Serpent, Coleman is at her best when she is being cool and enigmatic. And that’s how the show begins, when we meet Detective Ember Manning, policing with panache in the small town in the Lancashire Lakes where she grew up.
There she is schooling her younger male sidekick in feminism, questioning a true crime podcaster’s morals, trading cynical asides with her teenage daughter Hannah. All Manning’s life has been here. And all her secrets are here too.
