IWAN RHEON and SACHA DHAWAN on playing TV's most outlandish baddies

-  CAREN CLARK.

WOLF 

MONDAY & TUESDAY, 

9PM, BBC1 DRAMA

Iwan Rheon and Sacha Dhawan perfected the art of on-screen villainy as Games of Thrones’ Ramsay Bolton and Doctor Who’s The Master respectively. But in BBC1 thriller Wolf, they are upping the wickedness to devilish new levels.

The twisted escapades of unhinged criminals Molina (played by Iwan) and Honey (Sacha) have left viewers on the edge of their seats, as the pair have gleefully held the petrified Anchor-Ferrers family hostage in their Monmouthshire home and subjected them to physical and mental torture – apparently at the request of an enigmatic, unknown boss.

Now, however, as the series concludes and slow-on-the-uptake Molina and tetchy Honey race to bring their mysterious mission to an end, events get even more dangerously out of hand…

Meanwhile, when dogged DI Jack Caffery (Ukweli Roach) gradually gets closer to the truth about the grisly ‘Donkey Pitch’ murders that previously took place in the area, are the two disturbing cases about to collide?

Here, Iwan, 38, and Sacha, 39, tease what to expect in the final two episodes… 

What do you think makes Wolf such a gripping watch?

IWAN When I first got the scripts, I read all six episodes in a day – I couldn’t put them down. I got to episode five [airing Monday], read a particular scene and instantly thought, ‘Right, I’m in.’ It’s an intricate, thrilling storyline that keeps you guessing.
