The Durham-born actor says his character evolves from living a double life in the first series to becoming a more open and courageous father in the second.

“There was a lot of secrecy in series one,” explains Matt. “He was kind of living a double life and prioritising self-preservation. There was a cathartic admission at the end of the first series, where he brought Joanna up to speed and told her everything he knew.

“In series two, he’s become a father. He doesn’t have any secrets from Jo, and as a byproduct of that, he’s less selfish and much braver.”

Nicholas, 57, returns as Sergeant Mackie, after the first series ended on a cliffhanger as his corrupt dealings were exposed.
