Is Sian Brooke the BBC's lucky charm? As Blue Lights returns with rave reviews how the channel's golden girl has drawn in millions of viewers with a string of primetime shows


It's the latest of Sian's series to receive rave reviews of late, having been plucked by BBC bosses to star in several primetime shows on the channel.

Blue Lights season two returned with rave reviews on Monday as Sian Brooke reprised her role as Constable Grace Ellis, a social worker turned policeman attempting to get a handle on the crime in Belfast. Sian starred as Natalie Brown - a neighbour who had allowed Shannon's mother Karen (played by Gemma Whelan) to move into her home while searches were being conducted for the missing little girl over 24 days. Written by the team behind Novichok drama The Salisbury Poisonings, Blue Lights stars Sian as Grace, a single mother and ex-social worker who's decided to switch careers in mid-life.
