Robson Green opened up about spending quality time with his 25-year-old son Taylor while filming 5's new thriller, The Game, which was shot in Spain last year.
The Grantchester actor stars opposite Jason Watkins (Coma, McDonald and Dodds) in the series, which is billed as a cat-and-mouse thriller about retired police officer Huw, who becomes convinced that his new neighbour Patrick is the serial killer he never caught.
Speaking to HELLO! and other press ahead of the show's premiere, Robson revealed what he got up to during downtime from filming.
"It was just beautiful. My son came out and we were able to spend time in San Sebastián, Vitoria and Bilbao," said Robson.

"So that was lovely to spend some time with him and for him to see his dad do a bit of work. It was really great," he added.
On why he signed up for the role, Robson revealed that it was the story and "fantastic" creative team that attracted him to the project.

So it was the script, and on top of that, Sunetra [Sarker] and Jason [Watkins] on board, that attracted me to it. I saw myself in the story."
He added, "I love the relationships and how they developed, and a script that was different and kept you guessing, that's what attracted me to it."

"I suppose I'm buying all the things for Taylor that I never had as a kid," he previously told The Express.

The Game premieres on Monday, 12 May on 5 at 9pm.
