ANNIKA a hit in ratings

Nick Walker’s series ANNIKA has consistently appeared in the Top 10 most-watched drama programmes since its release on BBC1 in May, regularly getting over 1 million views.

ANNIKA follows the sharp, witty and enigmatic DI Annika Strandhed (played by Nicola Walker), as she leads the specialist Marine Homicide Unit (MHU) that is tasked with investigating the unexplained, brutal, and seemingly unfathomable murders that wash up in the waterways of Scotland. Through the series, Annika makes the audience her confidante by breaking the fourth wall and sharing her wry observations on the case and her life, as she manages her brilliant yet unconventional team, and her equally brilliant yet complex teenage daughter.

UKTV's leading crime drama channel, Alibi, originally co-commissioned the series with US broadcaster Masterpiece and All3Media International. The first series, produced by Black Camel Pictures, became Alibi's top performing title of all time, reaching 1.32million people since its launch.
