Having been approved by the adoption panel, they now find that matching with a child is not as straightforward as they had hoped. It seems like children are being snapped up by other couples while somehow they&#8217;re being left behind. Helped by their eccentric social worker Penny (Imelda Staunton), they are determined to do everything they can. When Nikki meets a little girl called Princess at an adoption event, she knows instantly that this is the child for them. But there are obstacles to Nikki&#8217;s plan that may prove insurmountable.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2350701062\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Returning cast also includes Ophelia Lovibond (&#8220;<em>Elementary,<\/em>&#8221; &#8220;<em>W1A<\/em>&#8220;), Oliver Chris (&#8220;<em>Motherland<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Four Weddings and a Funeral<\/em>&#8220;), Sian Brooke (&#8220;<em>Sherlock<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Good Omens<\/em>&#8220;), Darren Boyd (&#8220;<em>Killing Eve<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Luther<\/em>&#8220;) and Robyn Cara (&#8220;<em>Life<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Ackley Bridge<\/em>&#8220;).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trying&#8221; is created, written, and executive produced by Andy Wolton, directed and executive produced by Jim O&#8217;Hanlon (&#8220;<em>Catastrophe<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Marvel&#8217;s The Punisher<\/em>&#8220;), produced by Sam Pinnell (&#8220;<em>Motherland<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Derry Girls<\/em>&#8220;), co-produced by Tim Mannion, and executive produced by Josh Cole.
