Stephen Graham as Matthew Collins in the ITV drama The Walk In (ITV)
(Picture: PA Media)ITV’s new drama The Walk-In starts with a bang. A white man walks into a supermarket with a machete and a hammer, locates the only person of colour shopping there – an Asian man – and with a cry of “White power” starts attacking him.
It’s distressing stuff, but that’s not the worst of it. Because this story isn’t make-believe: it’s a dramatisation of real-life events, and of how the far-right in Britain is gaining ground in a fractured country.
