Series one of The Tourist stars Co Down actor Jamie Dornan as a British man who finds himself in the heart of the Australian outback, being pursued by a vast tank truck attempting to drive him off the road.

A cat and mouse chase ensues, with the man later waking up in hospital hurt, but somehow still alive, with no idea who he is.

His search for answers propels him through the vast and unforgiving outback.

Three other BBC dramas have also been renewed for a second series - The Responder, Vigil and Time.

Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer said: "The BBC is on fire creatively and the return of four of our biggest dramas over the last year demonstrates the sheer scale and range of storytelling on the BBC.”

Further information about each series will be revealed in due course.

Series one of all four dramas are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
