James Norton in Playing Nice Joss Barratt/ITVJames Norton has a message for viewers finding his latest drama for ITV a little on the far-fetched side. The former Happy Valley star takes the lead in the new four-part series Playing Nice, about two couples who learn that their three-year-old sons were actually switched at birth. “Family, either your parents or your children, they are the thing which you have that 4am anxiety about,” he said. The final two instalments of Playing Nice will air on ITV1 on Sunday and Monday night at 9pm. If you can’t wait till then, though, all four episodes are currently available to watch on the catch-up service ITVX.
