| The single moment between life and death. Created by Anthony Horowitz, Collision is a brand new five-part drama series for ITV1 starring Douglas Henshall as DI John Tolin. Synopsis On the face of it, a major road accident is nothing more than a split second of panic and confusion; an act of terrible violence that both changes and destroys lives, with a cause and effect quality that can ripple out across the entire world. Collision tells the story of just such an accident; of ten very different people who aren’t remotely connected - as far as they know - and who may never see each other again. Yet they all share one single defining moment Beyond the crumpled cars and beleaguered emergency services are the invisible dramas and when DI John Tolin begins his investigation he finds himself drawn into many different and dangerous worlds including government cover-ups, smuggling, torn relationships and murder. Collision features an ensemble cast including Douglas Henshall, Phil Davis, Jan Francis, Kate Ashfield, Claire Rushbrook, Paul McGann, David Bamber, Dean Lennox Kelly, Craig Kelly, Lucy Griffiths and Sylvia Syms. Cast and Production Credits Articles and Interviews My Week - Anthony Horowitz - The Sunday Times - November 2nd 2008 My wife, Jill Green, has built a half-mile of motorway - just for me. It doesn’t actually go anywhere. It’s on a disused Ministry of Defence site near Virginia Water in Surrey. But it does have four lanes, a proper crash barrier and a fantastic variety of shrubs and trees on either side, brought in specially. It’s just what I’ve always wanted. Jill is producing a five-part series, Collision, which I’ve written for ITV.
