Here’s everything you need to know…
What is The Light In The Hall about?
The Light In The Hall was originally made by Welsh broadcaster S4C under the name Y Golau, but the English language version is now finally coming to Channel 4.
It follows journalist Cat Donato who is obsessed with the murder of Ela Roberts, a girl from her town that had been a part of her close circle of friends.
But prior to her murder, Ela was made an outcast for a silly teenage fight that Cat had done her best to forget.
Meanwhile, Ela’s mother, Sharon, has never got over what happened to her daughter. A quiet gardener named Joe Pritchard was arrested for Ela’s murder after her DNA was found in his caravan.
But Joe never shared why he killed Ela or what he did with her body.
When the news of Joe’s parole hearing and his possible release reaches Cat and Sharon, the two women confront the past and the part they played in Ela’s final days.
Cat wants the truth and Sharon wants to confront the man who killed her daughter.
The drama will unfold as the women fight to find out if Joe Pritchard did kill Ela, why he did it (if he did) and where her body is.
