ITV drama series Holding, adapted from Graham Norton’s novel of the same name, ended its four-part run on Monday 4th April.
Starring Game of Thrones’ Conleth Hill as the anxious Sergeant PJ Collins, the murder mystery series focuses on a cold case murder that rocks a sleepy village.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com for his extended Big RT Interview, Hill said that his character had “none of the clichés that you’d expect from a leading detective” on TV.
“I just love the ordinariness of the mundanity – of the non-achievement outsider aspect of him that doesn’t matter how long he’s here, [he’ll] always be an outsider,” he said.
“I just thought he was a really multi-faceted character, but none of the kind of clichés that you’d expect from a leading detective and something. So yeah, [that anti-hero aspect] did appeal to me. And I think it was developed from the novel as well… so it was just a gift.”
The series ended on a bittersweet note, as PJ Collins managed to track down the killer and solve the case, but was later rejected by his married lover, leaving him broken-hearted.
