Daniel Rigby plays the policeman who gets involved in the web of lies.

Who is Officer Hayward?

Officer Hayward is a policeman who stops Dr Glennis, the character played by Nick Frost in the show, for a traffic violation and through a series of coincidences basically gets the notion something is not quite right with this man and with Daniel and with this situation - he gets a whiff of some wrongdoing.

He doesn't quite know what to investigate or how to go about it and gets entirely the wrong idea. He is an ambitious policeman who appears at first very straight-laced and on the ball but he is so, so off the ball, he is way, way off the ball, he's off all the balls. The balls are nowhere near him and we discover as the series goes on just how off the ball he is.

What was it about the script that stood out to you?

Well, just how dark it is. It's pitch black in its themes and I always respond well to really dark comedy. I think it's an interesting area and I like it when humour takes us to those uncomfortable places.

Why do audiences root for Daniel and Dr Glennis?

I think you sympathise with Daniel's situation. Everyone can identify with not being happy in a job or relationship or with being betrayed. He's trying his best in a way, he's a loveable guy in that way. He just makes absolutely horrific choices. The character that Nick plays is also a put-upon man in a lot of ways and is very funny as well. So I think that helps with the sympathy.

Is it relatable to the audience, the telling of lies?

I don't know how relatable it is as a predicament. I think we can relate to perhaps playing for sympathy sometimes in our lives or telling little fibs to get people to like us more. But I don't think specifically what Daniel does is altogether that forgivable.
