The six-part series sets the bar high with Fool Me Once's director David Moore behind it, while Rev Richard and Radford Neville are executive producers for The Lighthouse, alongside Catherine Mackin and Don Klees for Acorn TV. The plot follows Daniel, who lives with his widowed and opinionated mother, Audrey, whom he shares with two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda.
