Out There cast: Full list of stars in Martin Clunes’s ITV drama
Louis Ashbourne Serkis and Mark Lewis Jones play key roles.
New ITV drama Out There stars Martin Clunes in a role which couldn't be much further away from his severe doctor in Doc Martin.
In the new show, Clunes plays a farmer protecting his son and his land from county lines drug dealing – but he has said it wasn't a purposeful choice to move away from roles like his Doc Martin persona.
He said: "Not really, just the next thing, you know. I've never had a plan, really.
"I've always done other things alongside Doc Martin, be they factual or dramas, mainly written by Ed, actually. But no, it wasn't a conscious thing, was it? I don't think so."
Clunes stars as Nathan Williams, while Louis Ashbourne Serkis plays his son Johnny and Mark Lewis Jones plays his brother Caleb. But who else stars in the series and who do they all play?
