Fleabag's Ben Aldridge stars as Thomas Wayne in the TV series Pennyworth.

He told Sarina on Saturday's Plan B that even though people have played Batman's father before, it always depicted the moments leading up to his death.

In Pennyworth we get to know the man - what made him tick.

Ben had to grow a moustache to play Thomas Wayne. While it took a bit of getting used to at the beginning, it felt weird when he had to shave it off.

Fleabag fans will recognise Ben as 'The Arsehole Guy' from the series. He loved being a part of that show but never thought it would be as big as it has become.

Season two of Pennyworth was confirmed last October and filming had begun before it was shutdown due the COVID-19.

Ben is hopeful that when restrictions ease, filming will continue and the new season will be ready for late 2021.
