Clara Salaman has adapted her novel Too Close (written pseudonymously as Natalie Daniels) and the three-part drama airs on April 12th over three consecutive nights on ITV1. The mini-series stars Emily Watson and Denise Gough.

Too Close focuses on the compelling and dangerous relationship between forensic psychiatrist Dr Emma Robertson (Emily Watson) who is assigned to work with Connie Mortensen (Denise Gough) a woman accused of a heinous crime but who claims she can’t remember a thing. 

Dr Robertson is not easily shocked. She’s worked with her fair share of high security patients. However, when she’s sent to assess Connie for trial the two women become dangerously close.
