Stephen Lawrence.
Family's fight for justice comes to the small screen: Cast of TV drama detailing Stephen Lawrence murder probe is shown for first time
The cast of a TV drama about the Stephen Lawrence murder investigation has been shown in character for the first time. The 18-year-old Londoner was killed in a racist attack in 1993 but it was not until 2012 that two men were convicted of his murder after a campaign for justice by his parents Doreen and Neville. New pictures from the three-part series Stephen show actors Stephen Patten and Rob Witcomb as Gary Dobson and David Norris, who were found guilty after a DNA breakthrough and sent to prison. Stephen's mother, now Baroness Lawrence, is played by Sharlene Whyte and his father by Hugh Quarshie.

Stephen on ITV cast
Steve Coogan as Clive Driscoll in ITV’s Stephen
Sharlene Whyte (Small Axe, We Hunt Together) takes the role of Stephen’s mother Doreen Lawrence, with Hugh Quarshie (Breeders) reprising his performance of Neville Lawrence from the original award-winning ITV drama.
BAFTA award winning actor Steve Coogan (Stan & Ollie, Philomena) plays DCI Clive Driscoll, who led the investigation into the murder of the Lawrences’ beloved son.
The drama series also stars Richie Campbell, Jordan Myrie, Sian Brooke and Adil Ray.
What is Stephen about?
Black British teenager Stephen Lawrence was murdered on the evening of 22nd April 1993 in a racially motivated attack whilst waiting for a bus in Well Hall Road, Eltham, in London.
The Lawrences’ campaign for justice would bring about a public inquiry which branded the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist, resulting in lasting changes in the law.
However, it wasn’t until over 18 years after Stephen Lawrence’s death that his killers were brought to justice, as the original investigation had failed to convict those responsible.
The three-part series Stephen is set in 2006 and “tells the story of the ongoing struggle by Doreen and Neville Lawrence to achieve justice and how a detective, DCI Clive Driscoll – working closely with the Lawrences – puts together an investigation that finally – more than 18 years after his death – secures the convictions of two of the gang who committed the murder of Stephen.”
