Who plays him? Julian Ovenden. Son of the Queen’s chaplain, St Paul’s chorister, old Etonian, Oxford graduate… Ovenden’s credentials are impeccable. He’s a stalwart of the West End stage who has crooned at the Proms, while his TV CV includes a turn in another ITV period drama, Foyle’s War, plus jazz-hands Broadway drama Smash.
