The four-part mini-series aired on Sky1 earlier this year, starring Simm alongside Max Beesley (Survivors), Philip Glenister (Ashes To Ashes) and Marc Warren (Hustle).

Speaking to Life Of Wylie to promote his new BBC One drama Exile, the Life On Mars star commented on the rumoured return of Mad Dogs: “We’re up for it. Why not? It was such fun to film. And I think it’s pretty good as well.”

Created by Paul Abbott (Shameless), Exile stars John Simm alongside Jim Broadbent and is written by Danny Brocklehurst (The Street, Clocking Off). The three-part psychological thriller begins at 9pm on Sunday 1st May on BBC One.
