The latest adaptation of Ian Rankin\u2019s beloved Inspector Rebus novels, Rebus<\/a>, is arriving on BBC One later this month, following John Rebus as a young detective sergeant, who finds himself drawn into a violent conflict, one which becomes personal when his brother crosses the line.<\/p>\n

The series arrives with lofty expectations, not only because of the popularity of the books, but also because of the inevitable comparison\u2019s with ITV\u2019s version which starred John Hannah and, later, Ken Stott.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, speaking ahead of the show\u2019s arrival, Richard Rankin (no relation to Ian), who stars in the title role in the new show, has suggested fans have nothing to fear, as he has heaped praise on its \u201cexcellent\u201d writing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> exclusively, Rankin said: \u201cIt\u2019s a very popular genre anyway, isn\u2019t it, the Crime genre? There is such an appetite for it, there always has been in one form or another. The source material is so well-written, so wonderfully written by Ian Rankin.<\/p>\n
