Platform 7: Jasmine Jobson stars in trailer for ITV drama
ITV has received high praise after viewers binge-watched their latest psychological thriller Platform 7. The four-part series is based on a woman called Lisa who is stuck at the station where she died.
With no memory of why she’s there or how she died, Lisa is on a mission to find out the truth. However, as fragmented memory starts to return, some chilling revelations are made.
Although the series landed on ITV last month, viewers can’t seem to get enough of the drama. Taking to Twitter, @ninjalampie said: “F**k me... Platform 7" on ITV is amazing. Episode 3 is a particularly hard watch, as is the whole series, so I had to binge watch - fantastic series, with the caveat that it's quite intense.”
@kyzartist tweeted: “That platform 7 series is CRAZY! 10/10 from me,” With @welshjaci
commenting: “Binge watched #platform7 yesterday and absolutely LOVED it @DoughtyLouise.”
@teawhitenone83_ adding: “Really enjoyed Platform 7 on itv x last night, Jak from Toy Boy played a blinder. Worth watching if you want to binge something this weekend,” Twitter user
@V_44115 shared: “pPatform 7 on itv highly recommended. great bit of british drama, that.”
As @Makyla_1111 added: “Can we please talk about #platform7 and amazing Jasmine Jobson is @ITVX . I’ve been hooked!!! Soooo good!!”
Exclusively speaking to Express.co.uk and other media publications, actress Jasmine Jobson highlighted what attracted her to the role of Lisa. She said: “For me, at first it had to be the supernatural bit!
“There’s something about being a spirit and being around people without their knowledge but being able to play about with them when you’ve irritated you.

“It’s something about the haunting, that I was like, ‘You know what, I love it!’ So, that was the main hook for me, it was about the haunting side of things but then realistically when it came down to the actual script, I haven't played anybody like Lisa before.
“For me, it was very much about trying something new and then just playing a character that I haven’t before.” However, due to the nature of the storyline with Lisa being a ghost, author Louise Doughty struggled to believe the show would be possible to create.
She commented: “When it first got optioned, I thought, ‘They’re not going to be able to pull this one off.’ To me, as a novelist, it felt almost unfilmable because for the first third of the book the main character doesn't interact with anybody else because she’s a ghost, she’s dead she can’t speak to anyone!
“So I just couldn’t see how they were going to do it but props to them, they’ve pulled it off.”
Platform 7 is available to watch on ITVX.
