Mr Nasty! Aidan Turner to play baddie in new role

Poldark star Aidan Turner has admitted fans should prepare to see him as a baddie in BBC One’s Agatha Christie’s classic tale And Then There Were None.

The three-part series set in Devon in 1939 will see him play Irish mercenary Philip Lombard, a character who he described has a “complete disregard for humanity”.

“He enters the house and is the only one carrying a pistol and as the writer Sarah Phelps said, there’s nothing more frightening than an Irish guy in 1939 with a gun,” he said.

“There’s nothing he wouldn’t do. I wouldn’t put anything past him.”

“He’s a nasty kind of guy and you get the impression he’s done some horrible things in his life and he’s not really regretful of any of them,” he said in a BBC interview.

In the upcoming Christmas special, the Tallaght native appears alongside an all-star cast that includes Charles Dance, Sam Neill and Miranda Richardson.

“I was on set with all these amazing actors who I have revered and looked up to for years. It was exciting; these are people I really wanted to work,” he added.
