Watch the first episode of A Discovery of Witches on radio times.com

Written by Emily McMullin – radio times.com

Fans of Deborah Harkness’s bestselling All Souls trilogy, rejoice – the books have been adapted into a thrilling new TV drama airing this autumn. What’s more, you can watch the whole first episode for free from 2am on Friday 14 September on radiotimes.com.

Modern-day love story A Discovery of Witches will transport you to a world where a handful of witches, vampires and demons secretly live and work alongside humans, hidden in plain sight and fearing persecution.

The Sky original production stars Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge) as brilliant academic and historian Diana Bishop, a reluctant witch denying her supernatural heritage – until she uncovers an ancient manuscript in the University of Oxford’s renowned Bodleian library. The discovery throws her into the heart of a dangerous mystery and the path of enigmatic geneticist and vampire Matthew Clairmont (played by Matthew Goode of Downton Abbey and The Crown), who is harbouring a dark family secret.

Matthew confirmed for the Downton Abbey movie

Matthew Goode confirmed for Downton Abbey movie – but he says he will only be “popping in at the end”
What does his appearance mean for Henry Talbot and his wife Lady Mary?

Matthew Goode has revealed he will be appearing in the Downton Abbey movie – but not for long.

The actor starred as Henry Talbot in the ITV series, and gave us the happily-ever-after storyline we were hoping for with his character’s marriage to Lady Mary.

The last time we visited Downton, Lady Mary was pregnant with their first child and Henry had set up an automobile shop with Tom Branson (Allen Leech) named Talbot and Branson Motors.

So you’d expect him to have a pretty meaty role in the upcoming feature film.

But Goode tells Radio Times: “I’m just popping in at the end, which is a nice way to do it.”

Perhaps his limited role in the movie is down to his other commitments. After all, Goode has movies in the pipeline including Official Secrets and Four Kids and It, and on Friday his new drama A Discovery of Witches begins on Sky1.

Still, it’s left us pretty worried. Have Lady Mary and Henry Talbot lasted the course or will we find them sadly separated when we return to Downton Abbey?

Read the full interview in Radio Times magazine, out Tuesday 4th.
