ITV Unforgotten's Sanjeev Bhaskar pays tribute to 'joyous' co-star as he talks about their connection Sanjeev Bhaskar has opened up about working with actor Georgia Mackenzie on crime drama Unforgotten, calling the experience "a joy".
In true Unforgotten style, the first episode saw the team tackling a case where human bones have been found in a marsh, with duo DCI Jess James (Sinead Keenan) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) piecing together the grisly details of the historic crime.
Sanjeev hinted that his character may form a deeper relationship with Leanne throughout the series: "But also, within the storyline, Leanne and Sunny were the last two people who ever saw Cassie alive, and that connects them.
In earlier series, when she came in, she was giving us the information about the body, and so there was a lot of info that she had to convey to us, which was all very technical, but it was always such a laugh when she came in.
"So in this series, we see them build on something, build on a connection that is not based on Cassie –it’s based on them as people and where they go with it.
