Too Good To Be True cast from Kara Tointon and John Thomson to Allen Leech and Sara Powell


Too Good To Be True, the new Channel 5 drama, packs a big name cast, including EastEnders' Kara Tointon and Downton Abbey's Allen Leech.

The series stars Kara Tointon as a single cleaner mum, Rachel, who is living on the breadline, and is approached by a businesswoman (Sara Powell) on behalf of a wealthy client, Elliot ( Allen Leech) who makes her an incredibly generous job offer, working far fewer hours. A radical socialist, Tom somehow bagged the job as a chauffeur for the aristocratic Crawley family and fell for their youngest daughter Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay). Since starring in the Downton TV series, Allen appeared in the Canadian crime drama Bellevue (2017), before bagging the role of Freddie Mercury’s manager Paul Prenter in biopic Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).
