David Peace's Red Riding Quartet - tv news

David Peace's Red Riding Quartet (1974, 1977, 1980 and 1983) is to be made into a three-part series. From Digital Spy:
Sean Bean is part of the ensemble cast in a new series of TV crime thrillers to be shown on Channel 4.

The Lord Of The Rings actor will join Andrew Garfield, David Morrissey and Paddy Considine in Red Riding.

The three-part series is an adaptation of David Peace's trilogy of novels set in Yorkshire in the 1970s and '80s.

Executive producer Andrew Eaton remarked that Red Riding explores issues of morality and human nature.

He said: "This is a gripping drama that takes a look at human nature in a time of uncertainty and a culture that has lost its moral compass."
