It’s only a matter of weeks now until the excellent Damages returns to our screens here in the UK, with Glenn Close as Patty Hewes, the most cut-throat lawyer ever, and her sort-of protégé, Ellen Parsons, played by Rose Byrne.

Season three has just started in the US, and it’s already shaping up to be a cracker. Tate Donovan will be back as Patty’s dubious sidekick, Tom Shaye, and the big celebrity guest stars are Lily Tomlin, Martin Short and Campbell Scott as the defendants badly in need of defending after Patty goes after them.

Here’s the trailer for season three; and also a fabulous video rounding up all you need to know from seasons one and two, in case you missed any of them!
