I’ll take on the Russian mob again

HIS return as the smug psychopath Tommy Lee Royce (‘How do!’) in the final series of Happy Valley has been the televisual highlight of January Sunday nights; and actor James Norton is now contemplating another comeback.

Norton, 37, says he would love one more go at McMafia, in which he played the English-educated son, pictured, of a Russian mob boss. It was shown on BBC1 in 2018.

‘There’s an awful lot of love for that show, not least from me,’ he said. ‘And if the right story came along, then we would definitely do it.

‘People still ask me about the show and its return definitely remains a possibility.’
