"At the start of this episode everything seems to be going smoothly for Brian, a happily married man with three children," says Neil Dudgeon who plays the teacher who is ostracized by his neighbours when he is accused of exposing himself in a park.

"It's a rather sad, horrifying, yet very moving tale about a complete misunderstanding which sees the teacher's life go bad very quickly."

"The confrontation between my wife and the kids was hard and very challenging, it was exhausting being in a state of grief. I hope I do justice to it," says the RADA-trained actor whose TV credits also include Messiah, The Mrs Bradley Mysteries, Midsomer Murders and Between The Lines.

"I met Jimmy for the first time before filming and we talked a little bit about his personal experience as a teacher because he was one a long time ago, but everything I needed was in the script," says Dudgeon who is currently filming Sorted, Daniel Brocklehurst's six-part series for 大象传媒 ONE.

One of the great things Jimmy has done with this project is to bring other writers on board to do it.

"I think the story is universal and could be set anywhere. Like any good story you feel a connection to it."
