De Caestecker recently spoke with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about the new show, and suggested viewers are in for a non-stop thrill-ride, packed full of twists and turns.<\/p>\n De Caestecker said: \u201cFrom the first scene there\u2019s a big twist that propels you, but I think there\u2019s something that happens halfway through episode one where it really, really ramps up. I remember when I was reading it that my heart was really racing, and I showed it to a couple of friends and they both jumped off the sofa. Which is the reaction you want, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n \u201cAnd after that point, the whole thing, I think it just doesn\u2019t stop. I think it\u2019s just relentless, there\u2019s just no time to take a breath.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, De Caestecker\u2019s co-star Joanna Vanderham, who plays a mysterious character called Sam, teased that the show isn\u2019t just full of twists, but full of heart and compelling characters as well.<\/p>\n Vanderham said: \u201cI think audiences are really used to this sort of instant gratification where something has to happen every 30 seconds. And I think what has been done really well with this show is that it makes you feel like that, like you can\u2019t turn away, but at the same time it\u2019s a really human story.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s got that kind of thrill factor but actually is really driven by the characters and you just want them to succeed, and you want to watch them and you want to be with them. And that\u2019s kind of where its heart lies.\u201d<\/p> The series also stars Sharon Rooney and Daniel Portman and comes from Hartswood Films, who have been behind series including Sherlock<\/a>, Dracula and upcoming shows Inside Man<\/a> and The Devil\u2019s Hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Control Room will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Sunday 17th July at 9pm.
