The traders at banking firm Pierpoint are attempting to capitalise on the eco-investing trend as finance drama Industry returns for a third season this week - and as they prepare to oversee the stock-market debut of greenenergy company Lumi, they're expecting huge returns.

Robert Spearing (Harry Lawtey), assigned as Pierpoint's liaison to Lumi's capricious CEO Henry Muck (Kit Harington), has managed to keep things mostly on track so far. But on the eve of Lumi's high-profile IPO (initial public offering), a key investor pulls out after raising concerns about Lumi's finances, leaving Pierpoint scrambling to find last-minute buyers - and Henry on the warpath.

'I've known so many Henrys in my time, Harington, 37, tells TV&Satellite Week.

I just thought he was a really interesting person to drop into this world.
