Jekyll’s grandson is a split personality too
Robert Jekyll (Tom Bateman), grandson of Dr Jekyll, struggles to keep his inherited Hyde side in check in 1930s London as he gets involved with MIO, the sister agency of MI5 and MI6, set up to deal with supernatural threats, often in the form of a sinister organisation called Tenebrae. First broadcast in a teatime slot, it caused a kerfuffle because it was violent and scary and parents complained. Then it was messed around with in the schedules and eventually cancelled. That’s a shame because it’s an entertaining, frequently
funny (as you’d expect from creator Charlie Higson) horror drama with high production values and Richard E. Grant (below left, with Enzo Cilenti) is great as the chief of MIO. BritBox, from Thursday
