Hunting Alice Bell star reveals when fans should expect answers to mystery behind real Alice and dark online campaign

As a psychological thriller, Channel 4's latest, Hunting Alice Bell, certainly keeps you guessing.

The six-part drama is available to watch in full on Channel 4 and as viewers will know, each episode ends on quite the revelatory twist. Its second episode is no different as it shows an imprisoned Jason (Simon Pegg) telling Graham (Ralf Little) that the 'real Alice Bell' does actually exist in that group of women, despite all of them saying that they're not the woman in question.

    And it turns out that the guessing game and emotional rollercoaster of it all was something its cast experienced too.

    Chatting exclusively to Radio Times about whether he had any suspicions as an actor as to who Alice Bell really was, Rudi Dharmalingam said: "When I was reading the scripts, I had no idea who Alice Bell was at all. I mean, it's just brilliant writing. You're constantly being thrown curveballs, really, as an audience member as to who the real Alice Bell is.

    "Because what David [Baddiel] has done, he's created such an incredible story that you're constantly changing your mind as a spectator as to who you think the real Alice Bell is."

    Dharmalingam added: "Whether it's one of the women or if it's any of them, we don't until episode six."

    Of course, it's also a possibility that Jason could have thrown Graham a complete red herring and Alice Bell actually isn't in this group of women at all – but to find that out, we'll just have to continue tuning in to see.

    As for whether she was surprised by how things ended up, series star Alexandra Roach remained tight-lipped but did say: "I think what's great about how they've created the show is that as it goes on, you're thinking of so many different possibilities the whole time. Hopefully at the end, that is resolved for people. Have to wait and see!"

    The official synopsis reads: "Alice Bell is a former nurse, and also the lover, and accomplice, of a notorious anaesthetist serial killer. She is presently living in Britain under a new identity.

    "When, online, Fran Da Silva is accused of being Alice Bell, her happy family life implodes in a wave of mob hate."

    It continues: "Then she discovers she’s not the only woman to suffer this fate. Fran and the other accused women band together to fight back and clear their names. But as they battle to prove their innocence, what if one of the group is lying – and is the real Alice Bell..?"

    As well as Roach and Dharmalingam, the cast also includes Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) as Julie, Emily Barber (MobLand) as Vanessa, Toni O’Rourke (God’s Creatures) as Ros and Christina Bennington (Halo) as Charlotte – the rest of the group of targeted women who the internet accuses of being Alice Bell.

    They're also joined by Death in Paradise favourite Ralf Little and Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible) as Dr Jason Nash.

    Hunting Alice Bell continues on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm, with all episodes available to stream.
