The BBC has released a first-look image of Merlin star Colin Morgan in his new role in BBC One drama ‘Quirke’.
The three-part detective drama starring Gabriel Byrne as the chief pathologist in a Dublin city morgue will see Morgan play Jimmy Minor in episode 3, titled ‘Elegy.’
The series is based on the books by Benjamin Black (pseudonym of award-winning Irish writer John Banville) and adapted by screenwriters Andrew Davies and Conor McPherson.
Byrne’s character is described as a charismatic loner whose job takes him into unexpected places as he uncovers the secrets of sudden death in 1950s Dublin.
‘Quirke’ will air on BBC One later in 2014.
