The cast that will join lead James Nesbitt for the BBC One drama Jekyll has been revealed.

Coupling star Gina Bellman will play Dr Jackman's (Nesbitt) wife, while Bleak House's Denis Lawson plays Peter Syme, Dr Jackman's oldest friend.

They will be joined by Michelle Ryan (EastEnders) and Meera Syal (The Kumars at No. 42) who will play the doctor's assistant and a private detective who discovers the truth about Jackman respectively.

Coupling creator Steven Moffat has written the script, and describes it as "somewhere between a modern horror story and The Odd Couple."

The series will go into production in September, with a view to broadcasting next year.
