In it, Graham\u2019s character works for anti-fascist and anti-racist organisation Hope Not Hate, after leaving his own fascist past behind. The main focus of his work is to stop the radicalisation of young white men before it begins, which he does by sending moles, known as walk-ins, into far-right groups.<\/p>\n
Set against the backdrop of the EU referendum and taking a look at just how dangerous the polarising times we live in can be, the series makes for an \u2018unsettling\u2019 watch<\/a>. But that\u2019s precisely what drew Peaky Blinders star Graham to it.<\/p> \u201cI think it\u2019s important we have drama like this that tells the truth. It\u2019s the reason why I choose the scripts I do,\u201d he told Radio Times magazine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI love to go into people\u2019s living rooms and create conversation and debate, try and bring about some discussion about what they\u2019re watching. It\u2019s important for me, as an actor, to be part of something that\u2019s a social commentary.\u201d<\/p>\n The series was written by Oscar-nominated and BAFTA multi award-winning screenwriter Jeff Pope, who also collaborated with Graham on Little Boy Blue.<\/p>\n Pope echoed Graham\u2019s sentiment, telling Radio Times<\/strong>:\u00a0\u201cWith a lot of stuff that I do, I think it needs to be aired. We need to understand this. If we tolerate this, it\u2019s a small step to something far, far more serious.\u201d<\/p>\n You can read the full interview in this week\u2019s issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Walk-In is available to watch on<\/strong>\u00a0ITV Hub<\/a>.
