Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Drama today announces that Marc Warren (Hustle, Dracula, Life On Mars) is DCI Joseph Walker in the fifth story of the much-loved detective series Messiah, produced by Great Meadow Productions for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One.

DCI Walker (Marc Warren) is a haunted man who has finally met his match. His previously renowned finely tuned instincts and tenacity of character are questioned as his personal demons invade his latest investigation.
