Actor Stephen Tompkinson will play Peter Robinson's, Inspector Alan Banks for a forthcoming TV movie based on the novel, Aftermath. Now that Morse has gone and Frost is on his way out, there is a gap for a high profile crime series on ITV.
The Ballykissangel star is slipping into a mac to play Chief Inspector Alan Banks in Aftermath - a TV adaptation of Peter Robinson's gritty novels. Stephen, 44, said: "There is probably room for a new detective on ITV now that Morse has gone and Frost is going. I've always wanted to play a detective. I adored Columbo so I will have to wear a mac in tribute to him."
The character is a divorced dad-of-two who investigates murders in a Yorkshire market town.

Aftermath is a fanatstic, dark book and so I'll be interested to see how Tompk copes with such heavy material.
