Explaining why he was so interested in working on Riches, Coyle continues: “The themes that interest me about Riches are ambition, family factions, in-fighting, drive, wealth but also culture. Looking at the culture of a British Nigerian family having made all of this money.

“It’s an extraordinary cast. I mean, there was Downton Abbey and now Riches – they’re two of the best teams I have played for.”

He finishes: “I think first and foremost we are in the entertainment business and I think it is hugely entertaining. It looks amazing and I think it is just a fantastic cast that a lot of people wouldn’t have seen before. There’s a lot of breakthrough performances coming out of this.”
