Bobby agreed that the subject and themes of Curfew will no doubt lend itself to some interesting conversations, adding that his new show makes for "great television".

The EastEnders actor shares the screen with former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke in the new show, who he said was a joy to work with.

"Yeah, she's lovely," he said. "She owes me a Nando's actually."

Other cast members include EastEnders legends Anita Dobson and Lucy Benjamin plus former Coronation Street star James Craven.

Bobby plays a schoolboy who is very vocal in his opposition to the curfew.

Curfew centres on veteran police officer Pamela Green (Parish) who launches a murder investigation after a woman's body is found during curfew hours on the steps of the Women’s Safety Centre.

Pamela believes the killer is a man, but her theory is initially rejected on the basis of the strict curfew system that was put in place over three years ago.

"Determined to prove a man committed this murder, Pamela’s investigation threatens to bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down," reads the official synopsis.

"People in high places are determined to make the curfew a success and will do all it takes to prevent Pamela from discovering the truth."

Curfew will premiere on Paramount+ on October 10.
