NEW FANTASY DRAMA

Interview with the Vampire Thursday, 9pm, BBC2 (box set, BBC iPlayer)

As the second season of gothic fantasy drama Interview with the Vampire lands on BBC2 this week, we rejoin vampires Louis de Pointe du Lac and Claudia in a very appropriate location.

After joining forces to attack vampire creator and Louis’ former lover Lestat de Lioncourt, they have fled New Orleans and now find themselves in a bombed-out Romania as Nazis and Russians battle it out at the end of World War Two.
