Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press, Noel Clarke said of his Viewpoint casting that he "never" thought he'd be offered a role like DC Martin Young.

Viewpoint release date
The five-part series Viewpoint will air over five nights, from Monday 26th until Friday 30th April, on ITV.
Viewpoint plot
The series follows a police surveillance investigation into a tight-knit Manchester community, as detectives observe the home of a missing primary school teacher.
The teacher's partner is the prime suspect, and their shared home can be clearly observed from single mum Zoe's house.
The series is described as a "contemporary, character-driven mystery with a seductively intimate feel. But ultimately, it’s as much about friendship, trust and community as it is about solving a crime. Exploring the tension between our public and private lives and the secrets and horrors that thrive behind closed doors… especially when we think no-one’s watching".
