Martin Clunes: 'I'm so bloody lucky!' Aug 30, 2012 (WHATS ON TV)



Martin Clunes returns to ITV1 in a new two-part thriller, A Mother's Son (Monday & Tuesday). He tells us about the drama, his role, and why he doesn't give it all up and just run his farm...

Can you describe A Mother's Son?
"A schoolgirl is murdered in a small community and during investigations it looks like the son of the heroine of the piece might be the killer – you just never know, it’s really cleverly written. I’m the estranged husband, the father of the boy. The mother now lives with someone else who has his children.

"It’s all about how it reverberates around the families and the community. Hermione Norris plays the mum... I sort of know her. In fact we’ve played husband and wife before, in a terrible thing called Under The Hammer with Richard Wilson. It was about auctioneers. And begged the question ‘Who gives a **** about auctioneers?’ Answer – a decreasing number of people, so no second series!"
