Martin said: “He was a distant relative of the show’s creator, Daisy Goodwin, so it was obviously something she cared about deeply portraying. Martin sporting a beard (Image: Internet unknown)“Daisy sent me some research material on Dr Traill and the horrors of the Irish potato famine, which I’m sure most people are somewhat familiar with.“I felt a great responsibility playing him and was delighted that Daisy and the director Jim Loach trusted me with the part.”In the episode, Victoria, played by Jenna Coleman, is adamant that her government should be doing more to help the people in Ireland – but Prime Minister Peel knows if he sends food, it would destabilise his party. No longer able to watch his parish starve, Traill arrives on Victoria’s doorstep with a determined plea for her to intervene. He tries to reason with her and her husband Prince Albert and at one point argues: “I too believed the Catholics only had themselves to blame for their misfortunes.”Saoirse Ronan in the title role of Mary, Queen Of Scots (Image: PA)Martin said: “The biggest revelations for me were regarding the authorities and landowners’ actions around the famine, such as food being sent from Ireland abroad at the time when people were suffering most.”Many of the actor’s fans south of the Border think he speaks with the London twang he uses as Steve Arnott in TV series Line of Duty.

Martin said: “A big draw for me to do Victoria was the character and working with Jim.“I did my first film with his dad and think the rest of the production would agree he more than lives up to his family name. He was a joy to work with.“The whole cast, led by Jenna and Tom (Hughes, who plays Albert), were fantastic to work with.“It’s a lovely team, which is reflected in the show’s success.”Martin was just 1. Ken cast him as the troubled Liam in Sweet Sixteen. Back then he had two offers – trying out as an actor or taking a contract with Greenock Morton as a footballer.

He went with acting – and knows it was the right decision. As much as his dream would be to run out for boyhood football heroes Celtic, he would never have been one of the greats.

I owe them so much, because they took a huge chance on me to be one of the leads in a flagship BBC show.
