Speaking to the Mirror, the Doc Martin actor hinted he could return in the role of DCI Sutton.
He said: “Manhunt did make me proud, because it was quite a risk for us.
“My wife had spent four years contacting the family members of the people involved and clearing it with compliance, legally.
“Colin was very helpful making it and was around a lot. There is another equally grisly case Colin solved that we are looking into.”
DCI Sutton spent 30 years in the police and helped convict Delroy Grant, the serial rapist known as the night stalker.
