Written by brothers Harry Williams and Jack Williams, who also created The Missing and Baptiste, The Tourist opens with Dornan getting chased off an outback road by a truck apparently looking to run down him and his little hatchback car.
Just when when he thinks he's escaped his faceless assailant in their over-sized vehicle, Dornan is t-boned to the point of amnesia and must spend the next 6 x 60-minute episodes trying to work out who he is before his past catches up with him.
Intrigued? You will be. There's no waiting around for the action to get going. Head over to iPlayer and binge the lot. Here's how to watch The Tourist even if you're not in the UK.
