And according to The Sun, the idenтιтy of Hugh’s character will remain under wraps, with an insider telling the publication: ‘It was pretty obvious that Hugh’s new character plays a pivotal role in the story that runs through the drama’s second outing.

‘Though it’s a bit of a surprise to see someone in a gangster thriller who’s used to playing wholesome figures in shows like Downton Abbey and the Paddington movies.

‘But it’s fair to say with his giant head of grey hair and thick black glᴀsses they’ve given him a very distinctive new look.’
