If you know of any other real-life relatives or family connections among the actors, please share them with me. I also plan to add photos of the different actors (where siblings, parents or partners appear), but before that I’ll need to check with the production company whether this is allowed – I don’t want to overstep my bounds.   Janine Duvitski and Paul Bentall are the parents of  Ruby Bentall. -> Janine Duvitski played both ‘Deirdre Tibbs’ in 01×02: Death of a Hollow Man, and ‘Hattie Bainbridge’ in 22×06: The Witches of Angel’s Rise -> Paul Bentall played hotel owner ‘Edward …

First, I’ll list all pieces composed specifically for the series, regardless of genre.
