The Tourist: People Are Binge-Watching Jamie Dornan's New BBC Drama

If you're looking for a new drama to binge watch, look no further than Jamie Dornan's new BBC show, The Tourist.

The six-parter dropped on BBC on New Year's Day - but fans are already binge-watching all episodes over on iPlayer.

You can watch the trailer below:

The drama - written by brothers Jack and Harry Williams who are also behind thrillers The Missing and Baptiste - stars Jamie as 'The Man' - who has lost his memory after being ran off the road by a mysterious stranger.

When he wakes up in hospital, he has no idea who he is, where he came from or how he got there.

The official BBC synopsis reads: "A British man who finds himself in the glowing red heart of the Australian outback is being pursued by a vast tank truck trying to drive him off the road.

"An epic cat-and-mouse chase unfolds and the man later wakes in hospital, hurt, but somehow alive. Except he has no idea who he is.

"With merciless figures from his past pursuing him, The Man's search for answers propels him through the vast and unforgiving outback."
