Night Teeth Nick Allen. Warning Simon Abrams. Mayor Pete Nick Allen. Love Hard Monica Castillo. Connie claims to have no memory of the night when she drove her car off a bridge with two small children inside. And why should you not, in fact, be both? Emily Watson plays the dutiful psychiatrist — the kind of character in which she has in recent years come to specialise most famously in Apple Tree Yard , for which she was Emmy-nominated.

Watson plays this bereaved mother and dissatisfied wife, who is confronted with a case and a client almost perfectly designed to push her to the edge, beautifully and believably. Her client, Connie, is played with utter conviction — and I would be surprised if not award-winningly — by Denise Gough. In flashback she is sunny, with an edge. But there is still plenty of fleshing out of these bare bones to come. Too Close is a fantastically compelling, brilliantly scripted whydunnit that is unquantifiably better than it needs to be.
