Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd is returning to our screens after two years with a new BBC drama – but the idea had been haunting him long before he found global fame with his controversial Netflix debut.
The 36-year-old writes and stars in Half Man – a miniseries that follows meek teenager Niall (Jamie Bell) as he’s forced to live with his volatile but fiercely loyal stepbrother Ruben (Gadd). While the pair are inseparable in their youth, it’s a different story decades on when an older Ruben gatecrashes a horrified Niall’s wedding day.
