The Night Caller's Robert Glenister gets dangerously close to boiling point in preview
Sherwood's Robert Glenister plays a disgruntled cabbie who develops an unhealthy obsession with a DJ.
Upcoming Channel 5 drama The Night Caller looks set to be a tense watch, with a preview exclusive to RadioTimes.com teasing what's in store for the Liverpool-set thriller.
In it, Sherwood's Robert Glenister plays lonely cabbie Tony, who works nights since losing his teaching job – and his marriage.
The few bright spots in his life come in the shape of cafe-worker Rosa (Suzanne Packer) and radio DJ Lawrence (Sean Pertwee), whose late-night talk show can be heard in the background of the clip above while Tony watches Rosa get seemingly harassed.
Before things escalate, however, he gets out of his cab and slams the door, providing a distraction.

"Because you know what happens when you keep it all in, there comes a point when you just explode," Lawrence says towards the end of the preview.

Judging by Tony's expression, it looks like he's more than ready to blow his top.
The series will see the cabbie develop a bond with the DJ after calling in to the show, but things take a dark turn when he realises Lawrence isn't who he purports to be.
An exclusive trailer gave us a glimpse at just how dark things will get, with Tony set to take his warped sense of justice into his own hands. But how far will he go? The whole series will be available on My5 as of Sunday, for those who can't wait to find out.
The Night Caller airs nightly, starting Sunday 7th July at 9pm on Channel. Episodes will be available for streaming on My5 immediately after they air on Channel 5, with the full box set available from Wednesday at 10pm.
