Sarah Manners is Sun Hill’s newest recruit. The actress will be playing feisty PC Kirsty Knight, the station’s ambitious new area car driver.
“I’m over the moon to be joining the show at such an exciting time,” says Sarah. Her friend, a sergeant in MET police, has helped her out on research for her latest acting role by letting her shadow PCs around London.
PC Kirsty Knight’s first episode is due to go out on ITV1 this February. Kirsty’s first shift will be a baptism of fire after she finds herself suspicious of Sgt Stone following a violent attack.
Series producer Tim Key adds: “Sarah’s a great actor and she arrives at a particularly exciting time for the uniform officers of Sun Hill, who are about to be tested to the limit. Kirsty Knight is a lively addition to the team, with an irreverent sense of humour and a love of the adrenaline-fuelled side of the job. But she’s going to be flung in at the deep end and will quickly learn that life at Sun Hill is full of surprises, challenges and tough decisions.”
