Where Do I Know That Actor?

The MASTERPIECE crime drama UNFORGOTTEN is back for a fifth season with a new face in one of the prime positions. Old favorites return as well but you can’t recognize the players without a score card so let’s see who’s who on this hit series.

Sanjeev Bhaskar stars as DI Sunny Khan, co-leader of a team investigating cold cases. He’s guested on Midsomer Murders, Indian Summers and Inspector Lewis but he may be best known for playing Dr. Prem Sharma on The Indian Doctor (currently Saturdays at 6pm).

Sinéad Keenan co-stars as DCI Jess James, the new team co-leader (replacing Nicola Walker’s DCI Cassie Stuart for obvious reasons if you’ve viewed the first four series). Sadly, she has not been a major player in anything we’ve broadcast yet. She did pop up as a secretary named Nora Brent on an episode of Poirot (“The Clocks”) and appeared as Nina on Being Human, a cool series that we unfortunately never aired but you may have seen it elsewhere on US television.

Where Do I Know That Actor?

THE INDIAN DOCTOR is a new fish-out-water comedy drama airing Saturday nights at 6 on PBS NC (well, new to us – it debuted in 2010 on the BBC). Set in South Wales in 1963, the story follows doctor Prem Sharma as he arrives in the Welsh mining village of Trefelin to replace the late MD. Amid the villagers, miners and assorted patients, you may recognize a few familiar faces from other fare we’ve broadcast over the years. Let’s meet a few…

Sanjeev Bhaskar stars as Dr. Prem Sharma, the village’s new optimistic physician. Bhaskar will be best known for his performance as DI Sunny Khan in Unforgotten, a role he’s played for five series (Masterpiece has yet to air season five).
