Top Boy actor Ashley Walters has explained what he'd have done differently with the third series that premiered on Netflix.

Originally a Channel 4 production, the London-based crime drama was resurrected by rap artist Drake when the broadcaster decided not to renew the show after two outings.

However, Ashley fears that a potential fourth entry will take years to come to fruition.

In conversation with Metro, the Dushane star reflected: "I'm quite sad we didn't film two seasons at once because if we do go again, these people are going to have to wait quite a while again which is going to be difficult."

The good news is that a fourth series is being written.

Meanwhile, Ashley also weighed in on whether he'd like Drake to make a cameo at some point: "If I'm honest I don't mind. I think Drake has got a good energy.

"The real question is will viewers mind and I couldn't tell you but from my personal experience, watching his past work because I did some research as he comes from an acting background, and it's not a different world for him.

"It's something he wants to get back into. I wouldn't be against it, I think he can act and people would be surprised.

"But I think he's so powerful as Drake, it would be a difficult task for viewers to see him as anything else."



What do you reckon, should Drake stick with to music?

Top Boy is available to stream on Netflix.
