Alongside Sarah Lancashire’s Catherine Cawood, James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce formed a internecine relationship – both intent on destroying each other for differing reasons. Royce also signified Norton’s break-out role, and since then he’s gone on to become a familiar face on our screens, thanks to Grantchester and, more recently, War And Peace. As he prepares to step into Royce’s shoes again, we managed to get hold of an interview with him, which is after the jump.

It’s a bit of a big week for crime drama as Sally Wainwright’s award-winning Happy Valley comes back for a much-anticipated second series, once again starring Sarah Lancashire and James Norton. The six-episode run kicks off on Tuesday night. Elsewhere, there’s new Icelandic drama, Trapped on Saturday night, and a radio adaptation of Ian Rankin’s Rebus to look forward to. It should also be noted that there is no Silent Witness this week because, of all things, Crimewatch is on.
