Set over the course of twenty-four hours, Barbarians sees couple Adam (Iwan Rheon) and Eva (Catalina Sandino Moreno) wake up in their supposed dream house on Adam’s birthday. Lucas (Tom Cullen), property developer and friend of the couple, arrives for dinner with his actress girlfriend Chloe (Ines Spiridonov), to celebrate Adam’s birthday and the couple’s buying of the house. But secrets unravel over dinner, and when the doorbell rings the evening takes a nightmarish turn. As manners give way to madness, an ‘idyllic’ evening of celebration descends into a dark night of terror; and the group’s civilized dinner party turns out to be anything but.

With Terry O’Duncie in custody for the murders of Julie Ann Collins and Eddie Phillips, Di Bradfield switches his attention to the incriminating tape recordings made by local radio enthusiast Ashley Brennan.

Channel 4 drama Glue captivated audiences in 2014, and now the series's official soundtrack has been released.
Ivor Novello-nominated composed Walter Mair produced the score for the show, which followed events surrounding a murder in rural England.
Mair said: "Glue was a fantastic experience that required me to leave the picturesque countryside of England behind and dive into a gloomy and sinister England.
"The music focuses on the relationship between the main characters and their playful and emotive nature, which ultimately heads into much darker territory."
Glue director Daniel Nettheim added: "Walter is a wonderful collaborator and true craftsman of music for the screen.
"His entrancing score elevates the emotion and drama of the series to another cinematic level."
The official Glue soundtrack is released by eOne Music.

From the pen of BAFTA-winning writer Jack Thorne of Skins and This is England fame, and featuring a young cast of rising stars, E4's murder mystery Glue has long been one of our most anticipated new television series for 2014.
The tale of a small village rocked by the murder of a teenage boy, this eight-parter looks set to rewrite the whodunnit handbook.
On a trip to the set in Hungerford, Berkshire, Digital Spy's excitement levels reached fever pitch, as the cast prepared us for what's in store...
Glue is more than just Skins meets Midsomer Murders
Though Glue star Jordan Stevens jokingly bills the series as "Midsomer Murders without the old people", the 22-year-old - one half of hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, here making his acting debut - goes on to insist that this is more than simply Skins with a dash of country-cide.

Why E4’s crime mystery Glue, starting on the 15th of September, is more than just ‘Skins on tractors’…
Despite the obvious connections - it features a group of hedonistic, shagging, pilled-up youths and was created by former Skins writer Jack Thorne - E4’s Glue is a different beast to the channel’s flagship teen show. It’s an eight-part whodunit that repurposes the rural setting of TV’s cosy vet dramas and twee countryside tales into something poetic, dangerous, and sometimes quite beautiful.
Filmed around the village of Hungerford, Berkshire, Glue tells its story against a backdrop of barley fields, grain silos and paddocks. Don’t think that its depiction of rural life is bucolic though. In Glue’s working agricultural world, calves are slaughtered, machinery is treacherous, and stables house million pound investments, not race horses. Glue’s young protagonists aren’t part of a pastoral idyll...

Glue, the highly-anticipated new drama series created and written by BAFTA-winning writer Jack Thorne, comes to E4 on Monday 15th September at 10:00pm.
Set in a small village called Overton, it's about the murder of a boy, and how it affects his friends and the community that they live in.
Yasmine Paige plays Ruth Rosen, a 20 year old provisional police officer from a Romany background. She and her Romany mum are estranged from the travelling community, but that doesn’t stop Ruth. Not much does. Not being a young single mum, or the fact that she lives in the same village as a group of friends who no longer talk to her. She’s made of stronger stuff, or at least she thinks she is. Yasmine (represented by Curtis Brown), starred in the critically-acclaimed Submarine, and was named as a Screen International Star of Tomorrow in 2010.
Charlotte Spencer plays 19 year old Tina Fallon.

Written by The Fades and This Is England's Jack Thorne is new crime mystery, Glue, coming to E4 in September...
The first two series of Skins, This Is England '86 and '88, and The Fades are all the recommendation anyone should need to watch a new Jack Thorne-written drama, never mind that Glue, Thorne's new eight-part series coming to E4 this September, is looking pretty special in its own right.
Inspired by Thorne's childhood fascination with countryside life around Newbury stables, Glue depicts a rural world little seen on television, one far from cosy period caricatures and full of "ambition, hope, darkness and anarchy".
A teen murder mystery set in a tiny village in the English countryside, Glue tells a story of adolescence, sex, violence and secrets, starring a promising cast including Submarine's Yasmin Paige, Starred Up's Tommy McDonnell, Harry Potter's Jessica Cave, Line Of Duty's Charlotte Spencer,...

Jack Thorne's dark new drama series Glue is one of the most-anticipated shows of 2014.
A tale of "ambition, hope, darkness and anarchy", it looks like it could fill a Skins-shaped hole in the E4 schedules. And now the first trailer has arrived - check it out below:
Soundtracked by Warpaint's 'Love Is To Die', the stunning trailer suggests that this crime drama is worth getting excited about.
Channel 4's description of the series reads: "Overton. A tiny village in the English countryside. Farming is its bread-and-butter. Race-horses are its beating heart. But beyond the rolling hills and behind the stable doors lies a green and not-so-pleasant land...
