In the English court presided over by James from 1603, starring Scottish actor Tony Curran, Mary & George - a new seven-part Sky Atlantic series that lays bare the sex, murder, and plotting.

Critics have been treated to one of the most raunchiest royal dramas to date, with Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore) leading her vain and charismatic son George to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England (Tony Curran) as her all-power lover. The pair rose from humble beginnings to become the most titled and influential players the English court has ever seen, as well as the King's most trusted advisors, through scheming.

Now, Nicholas Galitzine, 29, looks to have left viewers piping hot in his latest queer period drama Mary & George, which stars Hollywood's Julianne Moore. The Sky series, based on Benjamin Woolley's book The King's Assassin, introduces Mary Villiers, who commanded her charming and sophisticated son, George, to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England and make him his beloved husband. The 'dangerously daring historical drama' is a very steamy account of King James I's private life (played by Tony Curran), with the first trailer for the seven-part miniseries showing sex scenes and risqué scenes. It seems that Nicholas has been in a more menacing role since his role in Red, White & Royal Blue, in which the once'shy kid' appears in Britain's Prince Henry, who falls in love with the son of US President Alex Claremont-Diaz's son.

KATHRYN FLETT: Living in London and a highly successful writer in middle age, Jimmy (Line Of Duty's Martin Compston) will always be 'Noodles' to his mates on the Ayrshire housing estate where he grew up. He remains connected to those roots, thanks to his older sibling, Tully (Ray Donovan's Tony Curran), whose journey has kept him in Scotland, as a secondary school teacher, and living with lawyer Anna (After Life's Ashley Jensen).

Mayflies supporters have expressed their emotional reaction to Martin Compston's last episode. The hard-hitting drama based on Andrew O'Hagan's 2020 book has been a hit with viewers in a heartbreaking manner, with some expressing that they still had 'tears in their eyes' after viewing. Tully, played by Tony Curran, finds out he has terminal cancer, and Jimmy, starred by Martin Compson, is reunited with his pal 30 years later to find out about Tully's tragic illness.

He's best known for his role in the acclaimed police drama Line Of Duty. When Martin Compston joined Tony Curran to film scenes for BBC's latest coming-of-age drama Mayflies at Scotland's picturesque House for an Art Lover, he looked worlds away from DI Steve Arnott. As they climbed out of a vintage Austin car to film the wedding-themed scenes, the two actors donned swanky blue morning suits.

Martin Compston has revealed that his mother-in-law took him to a gun range for the first time to show him how 'proficient' she is with the weapons. Although the Scottish actor, 38, confessed that although he 'loves' his mother Sissy's Tianna Chanel Flynn's mother, she can be 'quite scary,' as she outlined their 'intimidating' first meeting.
