Roadkill (TV series)

The series stars Hugh Laurie as the populist Conservative politician, Peter Laurence, freshly promoted to the middle-ranking Justice Secretary and on the up, after just dodging a scandal by winning a major libel case in the High Court against a national newspaper, but whose private life is under fire from his family — including an imprisoned illegitimate daughter, who has just come to light — as well as his political foes. Primary amongst his political friends and enemies is the embattled Prime Minister Dawn Ellison played by Helen McCrory in her final performance before her death in April 2021. ==Cast==
