His role in the Agatha Christie drama saw him wearing a dashing suit in the story of ten people killed off on an island they can’t escape due to bad weather.

Viewers all had the same opinion. Make that man the next James Bond

Am I alone in thinking Aidan Turner would make a rather good James Bond? #AndThenThereWereNone

If Aidan Turner isn't in the running for Bond after #AndThenThereWereNone the world is a very mad place. Look at him in that tuxedo.

But it’s not all good news for the actor…

Just got a memo. Aidan Turner now officially designated as the actor forced to deflect endless stupid questions about "next James Bond".
