Lenny Rush is set to star in a new BBC series adaptation of Eric Morecambe's children's book "The Reluctant Vampire", playing the lead role of Valentine, a young vampire who discovers he's actually human. The show, which has been in development for over 35 years, marks the first time the story has been brought to screen with Rush on board, according to his father Gary Morecambe.
