Line of Duty star Maya Sondhi tells NationalWorld all about her new ITV crime drama DI Ray, how she approached its themes of identity, and more.

A lot of people go through it on an everyday basis, and we need to work out a way in the right way to deal with it so that we can feel comfortable, but we’re also not keeping up. Then, for people who are on the other side of it, maybe just think, have I ever have I ever dealt with someone in a kind of an offhand, casual way that might have been quite offensive to them? Obviously, we can’t go too far the other way, when you can’t even say anything – but we do need to find a happy medium, I think. When it’s just there to serve the script or the story, or when it’s actually things that people say, and the ways that people would react. I wanted it to be funny, because I just didn’t want it to be bleak and grim. [laughs] – and I feel like as an actor, you kind of understand when lines feel right, and when they when they just don’t feel like something anyone would say? That was – you probably know, you can probably tell – that was real. We have to get names checked, too – so if you can have characters’ names, one of the biggest checks we had was to make sure that there was nobody in the police force with the names used in the show. I feel like I want [DI Ray] to be that kind of casual with it. Because I think – I don’t know about you – there’s nothing worse than watching something and then there’s a big clanger where you go “that just wouldn’t happen.” It takes you out of it, and then you’re not as invested in the characters – I just didn’t want that to happen here, because I want you to go with [Rachita Ray] all the time. This show is peppered with everyday sexism and everyday racism, but it’s not the thing that then takes up the rest of the episode. I wanted to address it, but I didn’t really know how, because it’s quite a niche thing – and, you know, it’s not really very hooky to sell to commissioners.

Parminder Nagra leads the cast of DI Ray, a new Birmingham-based crime drama from the makers of Line of Duty.

Stay up to date with the latest celebrity and TV news with showbiz updates from our daily newsletter here. Actors including series lead Parminder Nagra were photographed shooting scenes in Jewellery Quarter's leafy St Paul's Square. Where was DI Ray filmed?

Parminder Nagra stars as a heroic cop facing constant prejudice in this fresh twist on the police drama, full of tangled motivations and box-ticking bosses.

It lends heft to a story that at times moves a bit too slowly – not helped by a similar energy from Nagra that she brought to ER as Dr Rasgotra, who trailed clouds of non-specific misery behind her for six years – and feels a bit too by-numbers to stick to its own terms. Sometimes, they are even larger, such as the fact that she has been overlooked for promotion until her public heroic act brings her inescapably to the attention of the top brass, and that even the promotion when it does come is tainted by apparent tokenism. Sometimes, they are moments of othering – the customer in the shop who assumes she is an assistant not a customer, for example – that disrupt what should be the easy flow of daily life. We meet her in the local shop choosing what to have for her tea – until a mentally disturbed man with a knife runs past and out into the square. The receptionist at least is abashed. As she runs to catch up with him, while calling in the armed response unit, he stabs a police officer.
