BBC confirms air date for Slow Horses star in adaptation of beloved Eric Morecambe novels ...Middle East

The Reluctant Vampire is an adaptation of the book series of the same name by comedy legend Eric Morecambe, and stars BAFTA winner Lenny Rush as its lead.

The series follows Val, played by Rush, a young vampire who finds out that he is not, in fact, a vampire at all, and starts living a double life.

As Val grapples with his newly discovered human side, he has to contend with high expectations from his tradition-obsessed vampire father Victor, played by Tom Davis.
