Speaking to CultBox to promote ITV1’s recent two-part psychological thriller Case Sensitive, which aired earlier this month, Williams commented: “I’d love to do some comedy. There’s such good comedy being written at the moment.”

The London-born Dollhouse star added: “I’d love to do a show like Outnumbered or Green Wing. I think I’ve been taken far too seriously in my career so far, I need to lighten it up! I loved Episodes, I’d love to do that. Maybe I can get a small part in that!”

Based on the psychological suspense novel Point Of Rescue by Sophie Hannah, Case Sensitive is available to watch now on ITV Player.
