Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Sharon Small was cast against type—Elizabeth George initially hated the choice, then admitted she became the definitive Havers.

Cultural

The series aired 2001-2008, capturing that specific post-Diana, pre-crash era where British TV still believed the upper classes were interesting.
