The new comedy show Ann Droid, featuring beloved actress Sue Johnston (known from The Royle Family and Downton Abbey), is proving popular with viewers. It’s currently the second most-watched program on BBC iPlayer after its debut last week.
If you enjoy Johnston’s work and are looking for something darker, check out Witness Number 3, a four-episode thriller featuring Nina Toussaint-White, who you may know from EastEnders and Shetland.
The series centers around Jodie, a single mother, who sees a murder and finds herself hunted by a dangerous gang determined to silence her.
First launched in 2022, you can still watch it on the 5 streaming platform – and stream it for free with advertisements.
It’s also available to watch with a Netflix subscription if you’d prefer to stream it there.
What to Read Next
When the show premiered four years ago, it received some pretty good reviews.
According to The Telegraph, while the show benefits from strong creative vision, talented actors, and well-written scripts, its limited budget is noticeable. However, it remains a gripping and believable crime drama.
When the show Neighbours was cancelled, iNews suggested Channel 5 might be making a smart move. Meanwhile, Radio Times particularly highlighted Nina Toussant-White as the show’s best performer.
The Times described it as “grimly absorbing drama” that was “extremely well told”.
For those interested in seeing Adrian Johnston in more dramatic roles, you can find all series of the police show Waking the Dead on BBC iPlayer, Sky/NOW, and U. He also appears in the film Help, a moving story set in a care home with Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham, which is available to watch on Channel 4.
You can watch Witness Number 3 either for free with ads on Channel 5’s streaming platform, or with a standard Netflix subscription.
