The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln on returning to British TV, embarrassing his children and the power of saying no

- 

Andrew Lincoln is returning to our TV screens for the first time in over a decade - a decision that was motivated, he tells us, by Matilda, 18, and Arthur, 15, his teenage children with his wife of almost 20 years, the actress Gael Anderson.

The 52-year-old actor has been working in the US, spending several seasons on the popular zombie apocalypse franchise The Walking Dead, in which he plays the lead role of Rick Grimes. Now, he is making his British comeback in ITV's new six-part thriller Coldwater.

Starring alongside Indira Varma and Eve Myles, he plays John, a middle-aged man who rages at his life as a stay-at-home father and Andrew moves his family from London to rural Scotland after an altercation in a playground.

When they arrive, John befriends a neighbour called Tommy (Trainspotting's Ewen Bremner), but soon begins to suspect that he is harbouring some horrific secrets.
