JointhePoldark superfang club FANS BASKING IN GLAM THRILLS ON RIVIERA Ex Byker Grove co-stars on his rehab recovery
Before he was Ross Poldark, we loved Aidan Turner as tortured vampire Mitchell in BBC3 hit Being Human. So we’re thrilled to report co-star Jason
Watkins wants to get his teeth into resurrecting his brilliant vampire character Herrick for a spin-off show.
He told us: “I floated the idea of a Herrick spin-off but the writers were moving on to the American version of it. I’d love to do a series about how he became who he was. Start a campaign – we’ll get Herrick back.”
There’s a good chance Aidan would pop up again as Herrick’s No2 if the idea progresses, as they’ve stayed friends.
Jason, who played Tim Ifield in Line Of Duty, said: “My son Freddie is in a Poldark episode. Aidan looked after him.”
Ah, fangs, mate.
Line Of Duty series three is out now on DVD. The twists and turns of Sky Atlantic’s new crime thriller Riviera attracted a record 1.2million viewers for its first episode.
The drama continues as newlywed Georgina, played by Julia Stiles, right, tries to find out what her billionaire husband Constantine was doing when he was killed in a yacht explosion. Are the answers with the son of the oligarch he was meeting,
Constantine’s forger or in her husband’s safe room?
