This week on TV

Ioan Gruffudd is on a roll

right now. Having chilled

us to the bone as a sexual

predator in Liar, the Welsh

actor quickly followed

that up with the title role

in Alibi’s hit Australian

crime series, Harrow.

Our last view of Brisbane

forensic pathologist Daniel

Harrow was his shocked face

seconds after he’d been shot by an

unknown assailant. Previously,

he’d confessed to strangling the

man who’d abused his daughter,

Fern, before his assistant, Simon,

helped him cover his tracks.

This week, the drama returns

for a second 10-part series with

Harrow having survived the attack,

albeit minus his gallbladder. The

police investigation points to a

clear-cut suspect, but Harrow

begins to think differently.

We spoke to Gruffudd, 45, to

find out more...

Harrow’s alive! Yes, he’s

survived the ordeal of being shot

and now the adventure begins in

finding out who tried to kill him.

In this week’s episode,

Harrow’s killer is supposedly

identified, but there’s a twist.

What can you reveal? Harrow

is convinced he knows who tried

to kill him, but he’s someone

who’s dead! He died in a prison

fire. Everyone around Harrow

says he’s mad because the guy is

dead and that’s the end of it. But it

transpires the person he suspects

may have faked his own death.

Will we see a different side to

the normally confident doctor?

In season one, Harrow was a

bright, determined, smart guy. But

the attempt on his life knocked

him sideways and he starts to

doubt himself. His daughter, Fern,

comes to his aid by reminding

him to trust his instincts.

Are there any new characters

this time? Harrow meets the

mysterious Grace Molyneux

[Jolene Anderson] in a bar –

only to find he’s her superior

at work and it creates a lovely

sexual tension throughout the

series. Harrow has met his match

in Grace, and there’s an old-

fashioned flavour to their scenes

together. It’s a bit like Moonlighting.

What do you enjoy about

playing an unconventional man

like Harrow? There are so many

subtle undercurrents. He enjoys

ruffling feathers but he has a layer

of humanity, and he’s obviously

very instinctive and smart. All the

characters I play reflect well on me!

Except maybe Andrew Earlham

in ITV’s Liar? Oh, my goodness,

that’s true. When the second

series of Liar airs we’re going to

explain how Andrew died and

who killed him. There are a lot

of flashbacks. Like Harrow,

the second season of Liar is

almost like a new drama.

It’s more of a whodunit,

with twists and turns.
