Connie Nielsen and Doctor Who\u2019s Christopher Eccleston play a middle-aged couple in crisis in Channel 4\u2019s upcoming thriller Close To Me.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Nielsen described Close To Me\u00a0as a \u201ccoming of age\u201d story for older female viewers<\/a>, with a focus on the \u201ctransformation\u201d menopausal women go through.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt\u2019s my hope that when people \u2013 when women especially are watching this, they experience a sensation of being seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

A synopsis reads: \u201cThe six-part series tells the story of Jo Harding, a woman who seems to have it all\u00a0\u2013 a beautiful house in the country, a loving family and Rob, her devoted husband. But following a fall, an entire year suddenly vanishes from Jo\u2019s memory. As she struggles to piece events together, Jo discovers that her life wasn\u2019t quite as perfect as she imagined \u2014 and that someone will do all they can to keep a terrible secret from her.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the show\u2019s appeal, Eccleston said the drama is a\u00a0\u201clovely reversal\u201d<\/a> of the on-screen gender dynamics usually portrayed in TV dramas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis show had a lovely reversal of the usual, far too familiar, sensitive, caring female taking a supportive role to a male as they wrestle with existential dilemmas. This was very refreshing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
