Season 2
Introducing an entirely new group of lottery winners, The Syndicate returns to BBC One this March for its highly anticipated second series.
The new series follows a syndicate of hospital workers through their incredible tale of rags to riches over six episodes. The drama twists and turns through a gripping narrative and moves adeptly from heightened emotions to humour in a heartbeat.
Winners Rose (Alison Steadman), Mandy (Siobhan Finneran), Alan (Mark Addy), Tom (Jimi Mistry) and Becky (Natalie Gavin) are all faced with the wonderful yet astonishing experience of instant wealth. Everyone's experience brings different challenges and as well as the initial joy, there are some dark moments and revelations to come.
Both Mandy (Siobhan Finneran) and her daughter Becky (Natalie Gavin) work at St Anthony's Hospital where they're part of a lottery syndicate, along with Nurse Tom Bedford (Jimi Mistry), Porter Alan Walters (Mark Addy) and Auxiliary Rose Wilson (Alison Steadman).
It was the responsibility of ditzy Becky to buy last night's lottery ticket and according to past syndicate member Helen Dolan (Sally Rogers), their numbers have come up. But Becky went to an 80s party last night and doesn't know what she's done with the ticket.
All hell breaks loose when the syndicate realise that £72 million is at stake. So with all eyes, hands and ears to the ground the hunt begins. But Becky didn't sign the back of the ticket and now it's a race to find it and claim the winnings before someone else does.
The Syndicate is written by Kay Mellor and produced by Rollem Productions for BBC One.
