AS valet John Bates sits in a cell accused of murder in ITV1’s Downton Abbey, it appears his character’s run-ins with the law have inspired actor Brendan Coyle.
The 48-year-old, whose on-screen affair with house- maid Anna Smith, played by Joanne Froggatt, has kept viewers glued, reckons Bates should branch out.
“I’m hoping for a spin-off series – Mr Bates Investigates,” he joked at a screening of the Christmas show at the May Fair Hotel in London.
