If you're still reeling from Utopia's cancellation, star Adeel Akhtar feels your pain.

The actor - speaking to Digital Spy at the House of Fraser BAFTA Television Awards - admitted that he was "really upset" by the show's axing.

The cult series from writer Dennis Kelly aired two series before it was dropped by Channel 4 - but BAFTA nominee Akhtar told DS that you can "never say never" to the show returning in some form.

For more from Akhtar - including an insight into Kelly's "long-term vision" for the show - hit play on the video above.

Utopia followed a band of misfits who uncover a graphic novel manuscript which conceals a terrible secret, and soon find themselves drawn into a complex conspiracy.

Up for Best Supporting Actor at last night's BAFTAs, Akhtar ultimately lost out to The Honourable Woman's Stephen Rea, who also bested Happy Valley's James Norton and The Missing's Ken Stott.
