ITV's latest attempt to lure families to their channel on Saturday evenings launches this week and we have a few nuggets of information about the opening episode. Just remember to put those ear plugs in whenever Philip Glenister talks. (His American accent isn't too easy on the ear.)

Glenister stars as Rupert Galvin - an American with an interesting family connection to an innocent young lad called Luke.

Vampires have a unique way of paying the bill in a bar.

Luke is the descendant of Van Helsing and finds out that he didn't know the truth about his father's death.

Vampires are 'smited', not slayed, in this series.

Galvin is friends with a blind concert pianist called Mina, who bears mysterious powers.

What to Read Next
